ASTM D2850 Cohesive Soils - Undrained Triaxial Compression Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D2850 testing. This test method involves determining the strength and stress-strain relationships of a cylindrical specimen from undisturbed or remolded cohesive soil.

The samples are subjected to a confining fluid pressure in a triaxial chamber. Drainage of the sample is not allowed during the test. The sample is sheared under pressure without drainage at a constant rate of axial deformation (strain controlled).

This test method provides data to determine undrained strength properties and stress-strain relationships for soils. This test method allows the measurement of the total stresses applied to the sample, ie the stresses are not corrected for pore water pressure.

Specifying how data is collected, calculated or recorded in this standard is not directly related to the accuracy with which the data can be applied in design or other uses, or both. How to apply the results obtained using this standard is beyond its scope.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values ​​stated in inch-pound units and in parentheses are approximate.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
