About this document
Triaxial Compression Test Overview by Marionne Almeda is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A triaxial compression test involves confining a cylindrical soil sample in a pressurized cell and applying an axial load until failure to determine shear strength properties. The test allows controlling drainage and measuring pore pressure to determine parameters like cohesion, friction angle, and shear strength. A typical test has two phases: consolidation under cell pressure and shear under increasing axial load until failure.
