Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a ring shear tester, in particular to a ring shear tester suitable for vertical shear surfaces, and belongs to the technical field of geotechnical test devices. Background technique
[0002] Direct shear instrument and simple shear instrument are geotechnical test instruments that were earlier used in the study of soil shear properties. However, the limitations of these two instruments are that they can neither realize large displacement soil shear tests nor keep the shear area constant during the test. It was not until the advent of the ring shear instrument that the above two difficulties were solved, and at the same time it was ensured that the sample could be sheared under continuous displacement conditions.
[0003] The development of the ring shear instrument began in the 1920s. The design concept of the early ring shear instrument is relatively simple, and the function is relatively single. It is generally used to stud...
