An Internal Instrumentation for Axial and Radial Strain Measurements in Triaxial Tests

CODEN: GTJODJ

Abstract

A measuring device for axial and radial displacements in triaxial tests on soft rock specimens is described. Developed to optimize the detection of strain localization, the transducers have a linear response and a working range of a few percent. After a presentation of the manufacture and properties, detection of strain localization in the specimen during the compression test is discussed.
