Unconfined compression tests quickly provide approximate strength values of cohesive soils. This test can be performed on intact, remolded or reconstituted soil specimens using strain-controlled application of axial loads.
The device equipped to a 5kN with a resolution of 2.5 N Loading ring and there is a 30 mm stroke with 0.01 mm resolution. Gearmotor of unconfined compressive machine is Japan made. Loading system operate uniformly with the rate of 1.27 mm/min and without any vibration. The machine could measure specimen with diameter of 38 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm.
