Cyclic TriaxLab – Automated Cyclic Triaxial System

Matest Cyclic TriaxLab Automated System is an advanced solution for modern laboratories investigating vibration and dynamic loading effects on soil and unbound granular materials.

Typical applications include:

• Civil engineering, including seismic and blasting analysis
• Environmental engineering
• Construction and architectural design
• Advanced research on soils

Based on the 4-axis control, 16-channel control and Data Acquisition CDAS2, Matest Cyclic TriaxLab has provisions for:

• Vertical load tension/compression up to 9 kN
• Vertical displacement up to 50 mm
• Cell pressure up to 2200 KPa
• Back pressure up to 2200 KPa

The Cyclic TriaxLab automated system is subdivided into 3 major groups similar to the TriaxLab Automated System:

• Fully digitally controlled load frame and fit-for-purpose Triaxial cell with accessories
• Control system based on the CDAS2
• Data Acquisition System comprising:
  
  • 1 submersible load cell for axial force
  • 3 pressure transducers for cell pressure, back pressure and pore pressure
  • 2 Pressurematic for pressure/volume change

To suit the specific customer’s requirements, the MATEST Cyclic TriaxLab Automated System's basic configuration can be modified by adding or removing hardware elements that are controlled and monitored under a closed-loop, integrated system with the CDAS2 and TestLab Software.

Pre-programmed “Method files” offer the operator the unique opportunity to run a range of tests without the need for specific computer programming. The possibility to customize the Method files is also given to the operator, granting ultimate flexibility and versatility.
