ASTM D7181 Standard Test Method for Consolidated Drained Triaxial Compression Test for Soils - eLearning Course
About this Course
This course covers the determination of strength and stress-strain relationships of a cylindrical specimen of either intact or reconstituted soil. Specimens are consolidated and sheared in compression with drainage at a constant rate of axial deformation (strain controlled). This course does not replace the ASTM standard.
This course includes downloadable resources including a procedural outline and a pdf of the standard, instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. The course can be completed in about one hour.
