GTC specializes in using research-level techniques and equipment, including data logging and computer-controlled testing.

 

Tests include:

• Triaxial stress path testing.

• Resonant Column testing.

• Cyclic Triaxial with local strain measurement.

• Constant Head Permeability tests in the Triaxial cell.

​

All the tests can be performed using extra equipment, as necessary:

• Local strain measurement.

• Mid-plane pore water measurement.

• Bender Element testing in three directions, Sv, Shh& Shv.

• High pressure control systems.

​

In addition, GTC also carry out selected conventional scope of geotechnical tests including:

• Unconfined compression tests.

• Consolidated Undrained/Drained Triaxial Compression/Extension tests with pore water pressure/volume change measurement using single stage or multistage techniques.

• Automated Consolidation (Oedometer) tests.

• 254mm diameter Rowe Cell Consolidation or Swelling tests.
