Shear Test

Category	Laboratory testing (soil)
Publisher	GEOSYSTEM Software
Platform	WinXP
Status	Commercial
Description	Shear Test is for Triaxial and Direct Shear and Unconfined Compression tests. The program calculates the specimen parameters and strength results and drafts the test report. Calculates UU, CU, CU with pore pressures, and CD triaxial tests. 3 triaxial test report formats. Adjustable strength tangent envelope. Plots pore pressure versus strain and the stress path diagram for Triaxial tests. Compatible with Corps of Engineers and ASTM procedures. Calculates moisture, density, saturation and void ratio for initial, saturation, and consolidation phases. Staged load ring constants are permitted, as well as separate constants for each specimen. Direct and Triaxial test may have up to four specimens. Four separate Unconfined tests may be combined in a single report. A data and results summary may be printed for each specimen. Units of measurement supported are cm, inches, lbs, gms, kN, psf, psi, ksf, tsf, ksi, kPa and MPa. A setup file saves the user's choices of units, formats and hardware options.
