AGGREGATE CRUSHING VALUE APPARATUS
Aggregate crushing value test on coarse aggregates gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate crushing under gradually applied compressive load. Crushing value of aggregates indicates its strength. Lower crushing value is recommended for roads and pavements as it indicates a lower crushed fraction under load and would give a longer service life and a more economical performance.
The aggregates used in roads and pavement construction must be strong enough to withstand crushing under roller and traffic.

DIRECT SHEAR TEST APPARATUS ELECTRONIC
The Direct Shear test is carried out with an apparatus consisting of a square 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 junction between the box sections. 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.
Suitable for specimens of size 60x60x25mm.
The pre-calibrated load yoke helps counter balance the loading system. The load yoke with direct and through lever system for applying normal load upto 3 kg/cm2 capacity, fixtures for proving ring, brackets for holding consolidation and strain dial gauges are provided. The lead screw connected to the shear box housing helps application of shear stress.

PROVING RING TYPE UNCONFINED COMPRESSION TEST APPARATUS
Determination of soil shear strength is essential for designing the foundation of structures, soil and soil retaining structures, soil slopes, etc., Shear strength of soil depends on various factors and insitu soil conditions. Therefore, when laboratory tests in soil are performed to evaluate shear strength of soil, the insitu soil conditions and other factors should be simulated for obtaining meaningful results.
For example, the Unconsolidated Undrained test on soil will yield the undrained strength, which can be used for finding the immediate stability of an excavation,
whereas a consolidated undrained test with measurement of pore pressure can be used to evaluate the effective strength parameters of soil for designing the long term stability of an earth fill dam. It is well known that the engineering behaviour of soil depends on the effective stress
and not the total stress.
The effective stress can be calculated by measuring the total stress and substracting the pore water pressure from it.
To cater to the needs of shear strength determination of soil we have various range of equipments
