Abstract

A triaxial testing system is described that permits concurrent and coupled measurements of axial strain, axial stress, volumetric strain, permeability, compressional wave velocity and electrical resistivity of geomaterials. These measurements are conducted in a triaxial setting for a range of temperatures. Typical results are presented and discussed for a traditional geometrical such as rock or highly consolidated or over consolidated soil. Possible deviations of the typical measurements for waste material are pointed out.
