Direct Simple Shear Testing, ASTM D6528
(OP)
I am trying to decide between various pieces of equipment to purchase for our soil mechanics laboratory. One piece of equipment we are looking at is a direct simple shear. I am curious as to what kind of demand is there for this test. I haven't been able to find too many labs offering this test in the US. Any insight as to the effectiveness, demand, and pricing of this test, would be greatly appreciated.
