3-Axial testing

Three axial testing is a mechanical testing method used to assess the mechanical properties and behavior of materials under controlled loading conditions. It involves subjecting a cylindrical sample of the material to simultaneous compressive, tensile, and shear forces along different axes. By applying different stresses and strains to the sample, triaxial testing provides valuable insights into the material's strength, stiffness, deformation characteristics, and failure mechanisms. This technique is widely used in geotechnical engineering, soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and materials science to study the behavior of soils, rocks, concrete, and other materials under complex loading conditions.
