Computer-controlled Simple Cyclic Cutting Tool that simulates many different loading conditions and allows to examine soil behavior in the most realistic way.
Example Usage Areas
Application of both components of strong ground motion to the sample in the form of Cyclic Stress Ratio (CSR) or strain rate-time histories.
Simulating 3D cyclic loadings and displacements for floors.
Evaluation of liquefaction trigger and sensitivity considering 3D loads and displacements.
