Rock Shear Box Apparatus

Product Code : TVT-ARTE-10328

The Rock Shear Box Apparatus from Tvet Equipments determines the direct shear strength of rock joints and discontinuities, accepting irregularly shaped samples or cores.

How It Works

Manually operated hydraulic pumps drive horizontal and vertical actuators; hydraulic rams connected to the box's lower half generate shearing force while the upper half applies a normal load at right angles to the failure surface. Normal and shear stress are read on independent calibrated dial gauges, with an optional gauge for shear deformation.
