Direct shear apparatus manual

Digital Direct/Residual Shear Apparatus Original Instructions 10 X Issue 4 1 Safety This equipment has been tested by ELE International and is safe to use providing that the proper safety precautions are observed: Do not use this equipment in any . The ELE Direct Shear Apparatus accepts specimens 60 mm, mm square or inches in diameter. The use of a microprocessor controlled drive system and keyboard entry gives the apparatus a wide range of features that include pause and speed reset during test, RS C interface, operator programming of speed and control functions, self test diagnostics and many other features. DIRECT SHEAR TEST Aim: To determine shear strength parameter of a soil sample by direct shear test Apparatus Used: Shear box Loading frame (motor attached). Dial gauge. Proving ring. Tamper. Straight edge. Balance Container. Spatula Theory: The shear strength of a soil is its maximum resistance to shearing stress at failure.

The ELE Direct Shear Apparatus accepts specimens 60 mm, mm square or inches in diameter. The use of a microprocessor controlled drive system and keyboard entry gives the apparatus a wide range of features that include pause and speed reset during test, RS C interface, operator programming of speed and control functions, self test diagnostics and many other features. The Direct Shear Test is an experimental procedure conducted in geotechnical engineering practice and research that aims to determine the shear strength of soil materials. Shear strength is defined as the maximum resistance that a material can withstand when subjected to shearing. Generally, the Direct Shear Test is considered one of the most.
