Soil triaxial resonant column tester
Core components
loading system
Axial loading: Using servo motors or hydraulic systems to achieve static loading (stress/strain control) and dynamic excitation (sine wave, random wave)
Confining system: Apply constant/variable confining pressure (0-2 MPa, adjustable) through air pressure or hydraulic pressure to simulate the stress state of soil at different depths.
Reverse pressure system (optional): used for B-value detection and pore water pressure control of saturated soil samples.

Resonant column system
Drive device: Electromagnetic or mechanical exciter that generates controllable frequency torsional vibration (usually 0.1-200 Hz).
Sensor group
Torque sensor: measures input torque.
Accelerometer/displacement sensor: monitors the vibration response at the top of the soil sample.
Pore water pressure sensor (for saturation testing).
Data acquisition and control unit
Dynamic signal analyzer: Real time acquisition of vibration frequency, amplitude, phase difference, calculation of G and λ.
Control software: Automatically adjust the excitation frequency to resonance state, generate G - γ (shear modulus shear strain) and λ - γ curves.
Product Feature
High precision strain measurement: The resolution of small strains can reach 10 ⁻⁶ , meeting the requirements of elastic zone testing.
Broadband excitation: supports continuous loading from low frequency (static) to high frequency (dynamic).
Multi functional integration: One device is compatible with resonance column, three-axis, and dynamic three-axis tests.
Intelligent analysis software:
Automatically identify resonance frequency and correct the influence of boundary conditions.
Output G - γ and λ - γ curves, fit Hardin Drnevich and other constitutive model parameters.
Application
Earthquake Engineering: Evaluating the dynamic characteristics of soil for site seismic response analysis.
Transportation Engineering: Study the stiffness degradation of roadbed soil under cyclic loading.
Marine rock and soil: dynamic response of seabed soft soil under wave loads.
Research and Education: Study on the Mechanism of Small Strain in Soil and Verification of constitutive Models.
