About this test
Enter specimen size, shortening and failure load to get qu, cu and the consistency of the clay.
How it's calculated
- A = A0/(1 − ε)
- qu = P/A, cu = qu/2
Results are calculated from the values you enter using standard formulas. Download the PDF to keep a record. For certified testing, design or construction, talk to our engineers.
