This tab is used to specify the results of the test.

 

 

The following information and results are shown on this tab:

 

Properties

 

If the Calculate Saturation Results option is selected on the Strength Information tab, the Saturated properties will be calculated and displayed. And if the wet and dry soil masses after the test are entered, the final water content will be calculated and displayed.

 

Water Content: This is the calculated initial, saturated, and final gravimetric water content.

 

Saturation: This is the calculated initial and saturated saturation.

 

Void Ratio: This is the calculated initial and saturated void ratio.

 

Dry Density: This is the calculated initial and saturated dry density.

 

Dry Unit Weight: This is the calculated initial and saturated dry unit weight.

 

 

Strengths

 

Failure Reading No.: This is the reading at which failure occurred. It is the reading when the maximum deviator stress was calculated.

 

Axial Strain at Failure: This is the axial strain at the failure reading.

 

Peak Friction Angle: This is the calculated peak friction angle at failure.

 

Residual Friction Angle: This is the calculated residual friction angle at the end of the test.

 

Peak Compressive Strength: This is the calculated peak compressive strength at failure.

 

Residual Compressive Strength: This is the calculated residual compressive strength at the end of the test.

 

Peak Shear Strength: This is the calculated peak shear strength at failure.

 

Residual Shear Strength: This is the calculated residual shear strength at the end of the test.
