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

 

 

The following information and results are shown on this tab:

 

Fracture Information

 

Fracture Type: This is used to select the type of fracture from a predefined list of fracture types. When the button on the right is clicked on it can be selected from a list of fracture types and symbols.

 

Fracture Angle: This is used to specify the angle of fracture of the sample.

 

 

Results

 

Initial Water Content: This is the calculated initial water content.

 

Initial Saturation: This is the calculated initial saturation.

 

Initial Void Ratio: This is the calculated initial void ratio.

 

Initial Dry Density: This is the calculated initial dry density.

 

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

 

Failure Reading No.: This is the reading at which failure occurred. It is the reading when the maximum force was recorded.

 

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

 

Lateral Strain at Failure: This is the lateral strain at the failure reading.

 

Compressive Strength: This is the calculated compressive strength.

 

Young's Modulus: This is the calculated Young's modulus using the method selected on the Strength Information tab.

 

Poisson's Ratio: This is the calculated Poisson's ratio using the method selected on the Strength Information tab.
