Triaxial testing is conducted to measure the mechanical properties of soil, sand, clay, and other granular materials.
Typical triaxial tests involve confining a sealed cylindrical soil specimen, with a height-to-diameter ratio of 2:1, into a pressurised cell to simulate defined stress conditions. The specimen is then sheared until failure which leads to the
