Abstract

An equipment is described that is capable of determining the complete triaxial deformation behavior of intact and jointed rock specimens in the laboratory, under a wide range of applied stress levels. The equipment is comprised of a high-pressure cell assembly, a volume change device, an axial loading device, and a digital display unit.
