ShearTrac II-DSS CY

The ShearTrac II-DSS CY system is a universal shear system capable of performing the consolidation, static and cyclic direct simple shear phases under full automatic control. This system is of the type developed at NGI in the mid 1960's. The DSS test generates a fairly homogeneous state of shear stress throughout the specimen, which provides initial stress condition, stress path, and deformation configuration that models numerous field loading conditions more closely than any other strength tests such as triaxial. The system consists of a computer controlled unit that utilizes micro-stepper motors to apply the vertical and horizontal loads to the soil specimen.

The system is capable of running a consolidation phase for up to 32 increments automatically. Stress controlled cyclic can be applied up to a frequency of 1 Hz that can be followed by simple shearing at a specified rate of deformation or force. The constant volume condition is maintained through a closed loop computer control with the vertical displacement sensor as the feed back. The system is capable of displaying the current status of a test and graphically portraying the progress of the test in real time. The system includes the capability for the operator to alter the test process and conditions at any stage of the test.

The system comes complete with hardware and software for recording all test input data and settings of selected test parameters, performing standard engineering calculations on the data, and producing graphically plotted and printed output.
