Abstract
Method and apparatus for testing soil samples in which two similar samples of soil to be cyclic simple shear tested are positioned on opposite sides of a loading plate and subjected to a load normal to the plate. Simultaneously, the plate is moved transversely to apply a dynamic load to the samples. Soil response is studied by monitoring both loads and the transverse movement of the plate.
