Abstract
The authors have designed equipment for the stress-strain behavior assessment in granular medium and soil in shearing. The shear test machine enables investigation of stresses and dilatancy in granular materials subjected to multiple cyclical shears (tens thousands). Special sensors are designed for long-term stress and dilatancy measurements in granular media in lab-scale modeling of geomechanical processes.
