Triaxial Shear Extension
Triaxial Shear Extension
(OP)
Does Triaxial Shear Extension test imply that the deviatoric stress q =(Simga Vertical-Sigma Horizontal) is negative or the change in deviatoric stress q is negative..?Or both.?
I know that when the change in q is negative (q decreases) while q still positive means unloading.
When would you order it..?

When would I order it? See Ladd's SHANSEP papers, notably his Terzaghi lecture from 1986(?), which appeared in the ASCE JGE in 88 or 89.
