Abstract

A modified version of conventional Hoek cell (QRT Cell) has been designed and developed for advanced triaxial testing. QRT cell is capable of capturing radial deformation of the core samples through a new set of Linear Variable Differential Transducer (LVDT) designed to attach to core sample diametrically. The cell has significant advantage of minimal setup time, measuring permeability and controlling the temperature during the experiment with high accuracy. A number of triaxial experiments were performed on Gosford sandstone using the new cell to demonstrate its intrinsic advantages.
