BSO-221 – DIRECT DIGITAL SHEAR APPARATUS
This test is used to determine the shear strength of a soil sample subjected to orthogonal stress with respect to the failure plane. The sample is enclosed within a robust metal box horizontally split into two halves and provided with a vertical plunger. The shearing stress is created by imposing a movement of the lower half of the shear box, whilst applying a static load to the load plunger. In the more refined machines, called “controlled displacement equipment”, the variables that may be measured during the test are as follows: vertical strain, horizontal strain, shearing stress whilst the vertical force and displacement speed are kept absolutely constant.
