ShearTrac III

Large Shear Frame

The ShearTrac III system can perform the consolidation and shearing phases (static or cyclic) on large size samples under fully automatic control. It is an intelligent shear and load frame combination allowing both vertical and horizontal load and displacement applications. The system incorporates high load capacity motor systems (micro-stepper or servo) that offer superior precision and repeatability.

With its high load capacity, broad range of testing flexibility, and overall ease of use the ShearTrac III is the preferred large shear machine on the market.

Description

The ShearTrac III has two main configurations:

Dual micro-stepper motors (H/V) to perform static/monotonic shear testing in a 305 x 305 x 205 mm (12 x 12 x 8 in) shear box for soils/aggregate, rock, and geosynthetics (geomembrane, geotextile, GCL, geogrid, etc.). It can also be used for determining the interface frictional properties of soil and geosynthetics and internal friction of GCLs. With additional hardware added direct simple shear is performed on 305 mm (12 in) diameter samples using a Teflon-coated ring stack.

Servo motor (H) and micro-stepper motor (V) to perform static and cyclic shear testing on 305 mm (12 in) diameter samples using a Teflon-coated ring stack. With additional hardware added shear box testing can be performed.
