In the triaxial test we can measure the pore water pressure and volume changes of the soil specimen during shear.
TRUE/ FALSE
TRUE. In triaxial test there is a valve which can be opened or closed durign the shear stage. In UU ( unconsolidated undrained) test and CU ( consolidated undrained ) test the valve is kept closed in the shear stage. So the pore pressure can be measured. The cylindrical specimen used in the triaxial test has length two times its dia. The change in volume and length of specimen is noted.
