Abstract :
A dynamic triaxial testing apparatus for conducting geotechnical engineering laboratory tests was upgraded. An 80386-microcomputer-based data acquisition and control system was developed and incorporated into the input and output systems of the apparatus. This automated geotechnical dynamic triaxial testing system (AGDTTS) can be used to conduct geotechnical engineering laboratory tests with high speed, better performance, automated data acquisition, and improved control capability
