A labelled triaxial testing apparatus shows force transducer, loading frame, triaxial cell, prepared sample, and displacement transducer.A force transducer is mounted at the top beneath the upper crosshead. The apparatus is supported by a rigid loading frame with two vertical columns. A cylindrical triaxial cell is positioned between the columns on a circular base platform. Inside the cell, a prepared cylindrical sample is enclosed within a membrane. A displacement transducer is attached near the lower section beside the cell.
