CONSOLIDATION TESTING APPARATUS FOR OBSERVING THE INSIDE OF SPECIMEN UNDER RADIAL DRAINAGE CONDITION

摘要

PURPOSE: A consolidation test apparatus for observing the inside of a sample under a radial drain consolidation condition is provided to perform the study on the whole deformation of a sample by interpreting continuously obtained images. CONSTITUTION: A consolidation test apparatus for observing the inside of a sample under a radial drain consolidation condition comprises an upper plate(100), a lower plate, a guide(400), a pressing plate(300), and lateral plates. The upper plate and the lower plate are located to face each other. Each of the upper plate and the lower plate has a sector shape. The guide passes vertically through some region of the upper plate. The pressing plate is installed on one end of the guide. The pressing plate is located between the upper plate and the lower plate. A space of a sector shape is formed on the inner cross section of lateral plates.
