Triaxial Test

A triaxial test is an engineering procedure used to assess how a soil or rock sample behaves under different stress conditions. The sample is placed in a sealed chamber, where pressure is applied from all sides, and then additional force is exerted to simulate real-world forces like those from buildings or earthquakes. This test helps determine important properties such as strength and stability, influencing the design of foundations and supports. It provides valuable insights into how ground materials will perform under various loads, ensuring safe and efficient construction.
