Introduction
To design foundations, embankments
and other soil structures, Geotechnical
Engineers require methods of assessing
the mechanical properties of soils.
For over 60 years Wykeam Farrance,
now incorporated in the CONTROLS
Group, has been at the forefront
of the development of test systems
designed to give engineers the information
they require.
Since the development of the first commercially
produced shear box machine
in the 1950s, we have been working
closely with leading Academics and
Universities to produce testing systems
that further advance the understanding
of soil mechanics.
The experimental investigation used
to determine the stress-strain relation
is usually carried out with triaxial
tests, where undisturbed soil specimen
are subjected to different stress levels
and drainage conditions to simulate
as close as possible the different situations
that can occur in the subsoil on
site because of the effect of building
constructions, excavations, tunnelling,
etc.
Our geotechnical division manufactures
a large sophisticated state of the
art range of triaxial equipment, which
is detailed above.
