Embodiment Construction
[0028] The present invention relates to a unit 1 for performing geotechnical material tests on samples of rocks, soil or manufacturing materials in particular at the sampling site. It may involve a test unit that only allows simple compression tests or a triaxial test unit.
[0029] The unit 1 includes at least one piston 4, 5 for subjecting the cylindrical specimen 2 to a stress directed along the longitudinal axis of the specimen 2.
[0030] Furthermore, the unit 1 has a device 7 for shearing the sample, which device is capable of cracking the sample when the sample 2 is compressed by the at least one piston.
[0031] The advantage of the present invention is that cracks are formed when the piston 4, 5 compresses the sample.
[0032] Therefore, in the case of a triaxial test, after the formation of a crack, a permeability test can be followed, for example, under different confining pressures, in order to particularly study the healing (cicatrisation) of certain materials or the frac...
