Geotechnical investigation and testing - Laboratory testing of soil - Part 9: Consolidated triaxial compression tests on water saturated soils (ISO 17892-9:2018)

This document specifies a method for consolidated triaxial compression tests on water-saturated soils.
This document is applicable to the laboratory determination of triaxial shear strength under
compression loading within the scope of geotechnical investigations.
The cylindrical specimen, which can comprise undisturbed, re-compacted, remoulded or reconstituted
soil, is subjected to an isotropic or an anisotropic stress under drained conditions and thereafter is
sheared under undrained or drained conditions. The test allows the determination of shear strength,
stress-strain relationships and effective stress paths. All stresses and strains are denoted as positive
numerical values in compression.
NOTE 1 This document provides a test for a single specimen. A set of at least three relatable tests are required
to determine the shear strength parameters from these tests. Procedures for evaluating the results are included
in Annex B and, where required, the shear strength parameters are to be included in the report.
Special procedures such as:
a) tests with lubricated ends;
b) multi-stage tests;
c) tests with zero lateral strain (K0) consolidation;
d) tests with local measurement of strain or local measurement of pore pressure;
e) tests without rubber membranes;
f) extension tests;
g) shearing where cell pressure varies,
are not fully covered in this procedure. However, these specific tests can refer to general procedures
described in this document.
NOTE 2 This document fulfils the requirements of consolidated triaxial compression tests for geotechnical
investigation and testing in accordance with EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.

Geotehnično preiskovanje in preskušanje - Laboratorijsko preskušanje zemljin - 9. del: Konsolidiran triosni tlačni preskus na z vodo zasičenih zemljinah (ISO 17892-9:2018)

Ta dokument določa metodo za konsolidirane triosne tlačne preskuse na z vodo zasičenih zemljinah. Ta dokument se uporablja za laboratorijsko določevanje triosne strižne trdnosti pod tlačno obremenitvijo, ki spada na področje uporabe geotehničnega preiskovanja.
Valjast primerek, ki je lahko sestavljen iz neporušene, ponovno zgoščene, pregnetene ali obdelane zemljine, je izpostavljen izotropni ali anizotropni napetosti pod dreniranimi pogoji in se nato striže pod nedreniranimi ali dreniranimi pogoji. Preskus omogoča določevanje strižne trdnosti, razmerij napetost–deformacija in poti učinkovite napetosti. Vse napetosti in deformacije so pri stiskanju označene kot pozitivne
številske vrednosti.
OPOMBA 1: V tem dokumentu je podan preskus za en sam primerek. Za določevanje parametrov strižne trdnosti iz preskusov je potreben nabor najmanj treh sorodnih preskusov. Postopki za vrednotenje rezultatov so vključeni v dodatek B, poročilo pa mora po potrebi vključevati parametre strižne trdnosti.
Posebni postopki, kot so:
a) preskusi z mazanimi konci;
b) večstopenjski preskusi;
c) preskusi s konsolidacijo z ničelno lateralno deformacijo (K0);
d) preskusi z lokalnim merjenjem deformacij ali lokalnim merjenjem pornega tlaka;
e) preskusi brez gumijastih membran;
f) razširitveni preskusi;
g) striženje, kjer celični tlak variira,
v tem postopku niso zajeti v celoti. Vendar ti posebni preskusi se lahko nanašajo na splošne postopke, opisane v tem dokumentu.
OPOMBA 2: Ta dokument izpolnjuje zahteve za konsolidirane triosne tlačne preskuse za geotehnično preiskovanje in preskušanje v skladu s standardoma EN 1997-1 in EN 1997-2.
