Direct Shear Test Apparatus
Item code: ESTE-93

The Direct Shear test apparatus consist of a square or circular box divided into two halves. The specimen, contained in the box, is subjected to a constant normal load while an increasing horizontal force is applied to one of the sections of the shear box. This force causes a shear failure along the juncture between the box sections of this. The shear force and the normal load are measured directly. The rate of strain is adjusted by the speed of the horizontal force applied. The loading unit has V-strips on which the shear box housing rests. The load yoke in these direct shear test apparatus helps counter balance the loading system. The lead screw connected to the shear box housing helps application of shear stress. Direct Shear Test Apparatus comprises of Direct Shear Box assembly for 60mm x 60mm x 25mm thick specimen, Shear Box Housing, Specimen cutter, Loading Unit with a capacity of 8kg/cm2, set of weights to give normal stress of 3kg/cm2, Proving Ring duly calibrated by Nccbm (Govt) of 2.5kN (250kgf) capacity & 2 (Two) Dial Gauges 0.01mm x 25mm travel.

The load yoke with direct and through level system for applying normal load upto 8 kg/cm2 capacity, fixtures for proving ring, brackets for holding consolidation and strain dial gauges are also provided in these direct shear test apparatus.

Plate Bearing Test Apparatus
Item code: ESTE-100

We are engaged in manufacturing and supplying Plate Bearing Test Apparatus, which is used for estimating the bearing capacity of shallow foundations in situ and for the design of flexible pavement. This test is a standard technique fro determining bearing capacity of soils and is used in agriculture, defense, education, geophysical/ seismology, irrigation and mining industry.
Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) It is used for rapid in-situ measurement of the structural properties of existing road pavement constructed with unbound materials.The unit incorporates an 8 Kg weight having a drop of 575 mm, fitted to end of the shaft is a 20 mm diameter cone. With the standard DCP measurements can be made down to a depth of approximately 850 mm.Reading are taken after a set number of blows, changing the number according to the strength of layer being penetrated. For good granular bases,readings every 5-10 blows are satisfactory, but for weaker sub-base layers and sub grades, readings every 1-2 blows may be appropriate.

The DCP requires Three operators, one to hold the instrument in a vertical position, one to raise the hammer and let it fall and one to record the results. A typical test takes only a few minutes, providing a very efficient method of obtaining information, which would otherwise require the excavation of test pits. Where pavement layers have different strengths, boundaries can be identified and layer thickness determined.Supplied complete in a nice Wooden Carrying Case.

Marshall Stability and Compaction
Item code: EBTE-8

Originally developed by Bruce Marshall, a highway engineer in U.S.A later on standardized by ASTM. Generally the test is applicable to hot mix designs using bitumen and aggregates upto a maximum size of 25 mm.

In this method the resistance to plastic deformation of cylindrical specimen of bituminous mixture is measured when the same is loaded atperiphery at 5 cm per min. This test procedure is used in designing and evaluating bituminous paving mixes. The test procedure is extensively used in routine test programmes for paving jobs There are two major features of the Marshall method of designing mixes namely.

• Density – voids analysis
• Stability – flow tests.

The marshall stability of mix is defined as a maximum load carried by a compacted specimen at a standard test temperature of 60 deg.C. The flow value is deformation the marshall test specimen under goes during the loading upto the maximum load, in 0.25 mm units. In this test and attempt is made to determine optimum binder content for the type of aggregate mix and traffic intensity.

The apparatus consists of: 1. A loading unit motorized, capacity 5000 kgf with two telescopic pillars and an adjustable cross head Limit switches are fitted inside to control upward or downward movement of the pillars. On – off reversing switch and indicator lamps are on the front side while a hand wheel to manulally move the pillars minute operated on 230 Volts A.C.
