Evaluation and graphical presentation of triaxial shear tests.
The following tests can be comfortably evaluated:
  • D-test
  • CU-test
  • CCV-test
  • UU-test

The test data can be entered by hand, if wished, or imported as an ASCII file. After the input of all relevant parameters the test results can immediately be presented graphically on the screen. You can choose between different presentation forms and graphics:

  • Tau-sigma diagram
  • Stress paths
  • Load-compression lines
  • Pore water pressure-compression lines
  • Stress ratio-compression lines
  • Sigma 3-compression lines
  • Volume-compression lines
  • Protocol

A MiniCAD system is available for additional labelling of graphics.
