A simple axial displacement gauge for use in the triaxial apparatus

摘要: The use of electrolytic liquid levels as horizontal inclinometers is described for the measurement local displacements and strains on laboratory soil samples. simplicity, accuracy low-cost are said to make such units useful in transducer applications. level consists an electrolyte sealed a glass capsule with three co-planar electrodes partially immersed electrolyte. Resistance between vary tilted. Inclinometer apparatus uses electrolevel torsional it shown how vertical deflection gauge can be used triaxial test application routine testing. (Author/TRRL)
