I work in a soil lab and I run Consolidated Undrained triaxials quite often. But I use a computer program to generate the strength parameters automatically, but I am trying to generate results by doing hand calcs and this video helps me understand things better. Thanks!!
Hi Phil, for this test, can the sample be disturbed ? And if so, would you not like to test the same density in the lab as it was within the field? Thanks
Thanks for the comment Jurgens. The test can be carried out on remoulded samples but if your sample strength is sensitive to remoulding, this will not reflect the insitu strength. Yes, the density is important to know as this influences the angle of friction.
@@philrenforth9569 Thanks! But I feel it would have been clearer if you had explained the difference between "cell pressure" and the "pore pressure" and how they act and impact on the "Normal pressure".

people like you should be thanked for doing this however i wish you would have made a video on how to properly conduct the test
Thanks for your nice presentation. Do we need undisturbed sample or disturbed sample ?
Undisturbed
u make good videos. why stopped
How to ensure the specimen is saturated?
awesome thanks!

What abot true triaxial test .
Thank youuu so much

Has anyone ever said that you sound like Sir Brian Cox? :)
Has anyone noticed he's writing in reverse?
Wow
Hi Phil, please can we communicate by email. I would love to have you tutor me in Soil mechanics and engineering geology
really hard to hear.
