EN ISO 17892-9 Geotechnical Investigation - 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 EN ISO 17892-9 testing. EN ISO 17892-9 specifies a method for combined triaxial compression tests in water-saturated soils. EN ISO 17892-9 applies to the laboratory determination of triaxial shear strength under compression loading within the scope of geotechnical investigations.

The cylindrical sample, which may contain intact, recompacted, remolded or reconstructed soil, is subjected to an isotropic or anisotropic stress under drained conditions and then sheared under undrained or drained conditions. The test allows determination of shear strength, stress-strain relationships, and effective stress paths. All stresses and strains are shown as positive numerical values ​​in compression.

Special procedures such as the following are not fully covered:

• Oil-lubricated tests;
• Multi-stage tests;
• Tests with zero lateral strain (K0) consolidation;
• Tests with local strain measurement or local pore pressure measurement;
• Tests without rubber membrane;
• Extension tests;
• Shear where the cell pressure changes.

This standard covers areas that have never been standardized before in the international field of geotechnical engineering. This standard is intended to provide broad good practice worldwide, and significant differences with national documents are not expected. It is based on international practice.
