Unconfined Compression Test Apparatus.
The unconfined compression test apparatus for soil includes uniaxial
compression test in which the test specimen is provided with no lateral
support while undergoing vertical compression. The test measures the
unconfined compression strength of a cylinder of cohesive or semi
cohesive soil and indirectly shearing strength. The shearing strength of
the soil is generally taken to be one half of the unconfined
compression strength. The unconfined compression test apparatus is used
normally on a undisturbed sample with its natural moisture content. It
may also be performed on remolded samples to evaluate the consequences
of disturbances and remolding.
Unconfined Compression Test Apparatus
is normally useful in soil mechanics laboratories. The unconfined
compression test is the simplest and quickest method for evaluation of
the shear strength of cohesive soil in the laboratory or in the field.
The results from compression test apparatus are widely used in
ascertaining the relative consistency and sensitivity for estimating the
ultimate bearing capacity.
