Direct Shear Test Apparatus

Operational Overview

The ARCL Direct Shear Test Apparatus is a precision laboratory testing equipment designed to determine the shear strength parameters of soil, including cohesion and angle of internal friction. The apparatus applies a controlled normal load and horizontal shear force to a soil specimen, enabling accurate evaluation of its resistance to shear failure. Manufactured with a robust and rigid construction, the apparatus provides stable specimen positioning and smooth application of shear load. It is suitable for routine geotechnical investigations, soil classification, foundation studies, pavement design and research applications. The ARCL Direct Shear Test Apparatus provides a reliable and practical solution for evaluating soil shear strength and generating essential parameters required for geotechnical and civil engineering design.
