This page is used for data entry of Unconfined Compression Test and to view / print the test results. This page can be accessed from the Soil Mechanics Lab. menu. After entering the sample information and moisture data, please enter data for force reading and axial displacement. Please note that data should be entered in the white cells. The red cells are automatically calculated by the program. You can also specify a picture of the sample (typically taken after the test).

 

 

  • Please enter zero for both force reading and axial displacement for the first reading.
  • In order to delete a row of data, select the row and press Shift+Delete buttons. Please note deleted data cannot be recovered.
  • In order to insert a new row in between existing rows, press Shift+Insert.

 

After data entry, click on calculate button from the tests toolbar. Test results including unconfined shear strength (Qu) will be shown in the table on the bottom of the screen. You can print the unconfined compression test report by using the tests toolbar.
