New in-situ direct shear tests on rockfill materials at Yixing Pumped Storage Power Station Project
A new in-situ direct shear testing method for large-grained rockfill materials is introduced. The distinctive feature of this new in-situ direct shear testing method is to pull the shearing frame with a flexible chain, which causes the mutual movement of the shearing frame and the specimen during shear. Thus, the wall friction of the shearing frame has little influence …
