14. Hybrid True Triaxial Testing Facility

  • The True Triaxial Testing system can apply 21 MPa stress in three orthogonal directions on 200 mm cubic specimens, or 320 MPa on smaller cubes of 50mm in dimension.
  • Equipped with temperature (up to 100 oC) and relative humidity control
  • Can test under saturated and unsaturated conditions, and will have state-of-the-art monitoring equipment including acoustic emission (AE) and ultrasonic for the assessment of progressive damage processes
  • The rock true Triaxial testing device can also perform rock permeability testing at up to 10 Mpa pressure and hydraulic fracking at up to 52 MPa on 200 mm, 100 mm and 50 mm cubic rock specimens in three directions under coupled thermo-mechanical stress conditions
