Multi-directional dynamic simple shear device for soils
This device is capable of applying simple pure shear in two horizontal directions under both static and dynamic loading conditions. The vertical actuator enables us to apply cyclic normal stress. The allowed back pressure is as high as 1 MPa. Both harmonic and random loading capability. The shaking frequnecy is up to 10 Hz. Specimen diameters are 50, 100 and 150 mm.
