Working Principle:
The GCTS USTX-050 Pneumatic Cyclic Unsaturated Triaxial System is ideal for performing conventional triaxial tests, specifically, Strength (UU, CU and CD), Consolidation and Permeability tests on a sample (viz., soils), at high confining pressures (2 MPa). The setup is also equipped with a volume change measurement device, porous stones and flushing units, which can facilitate experimentation in unsaturated state of the soil.
The Unsaturated measurements work on the principle of Axis translation technique, i.e. elevating pore-air pressure while maintaining pore-water pressure at a reference value (or vice-versa) through the pores of a saturated high air-entry (HAE) material, thus affording direct control of matric suction. Drainage from the specimen is allowed to occur through the HAE pores until there is negligible volume change. Several increments of air pressure may be applied to generate required matric suction values.

Working Principle:
3D stereo PIV measurements are based on the same fundamental principles as human eyesight; i.e. stereovision. "When we look at given object, our left and right eyes see two similar but not identical images. The brain compares the two images and interpret the slight variations to re-build the 3-dimensional information of the object observed." Similarly, a Dantec Dynamics Stereo-PIV system measures particles displacements using two CCD- / CMOS- cameras:

1. Working Principle:
A Rheometer measures flow. More specifically, rheometers measure the forces (like shear) associated with a flowing substance. Typically, the flowing substance is much thicker than a liquid (like concrete). A rheometer does not simply measure flow, but also measures the effects of flow at different pressures-especially key characteristics of the flow like shear (how difficult it is to change the flow) or how the flow of a substance tends to drag surrounding materials. The output of a rheometer is typically a set of curves that depict these forces as the pressure on the flowing material changes. Rheometers are almost as varied as the substances and forces that they measure.

Working Principle:
The cyclic triaxial testing facility is a hydraulic oil based actuator system and the deviatoric loading on soil and bitumen samples are applied using hydraulic actuator, controlled through computer based software Geo-sys. Testing of samples can be done in stress and/or displacement controlled modes for both static and cyclic tests. Cell and back pressures are applied to samples by using air pressure control (APC: air/water interface). The in-situ stresses (both confining and deviatoric stresses), isotropic and anisotropic conditions on the specimen are simulated in the triaxial cell to study the behavior of soils under external loading. Conventional triaxial tests (UU, CU and CD) and cyclic tests on soil samples can be performed at confining pressures up to 1 MPa. The setup is also equipped with a volume change measurement device, B-value check and auto servo-valve, which will saturate the soil sample without user interference. A computer integrated measurement device is used to monitor the changes in the volume of sample during saturation, consolidation and testing of fully saturated soil samples.

Working Principle:
The wheel tracking test is used for determining the susceptibility of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) to deform under load by measuring the rut depth formed by repeated passes of a loaded wheel at a fixed temperature. The Hamburg Wheel Tracking Device (HWT) tracks a loaded steel and rubber wheel back and forth directly on a HMA sample. Most commonly, a dual wheel is tracked across 230 mm distance over a HMA sample for 20,000 cycles (or until 20 mm of deformation occurs) using a 705 N load. Rut depth is measured continuously with a series of LVDTs on the sample.
Technical Specifications:
Special Features:
Applications :
Laboratory Hamburg wheel-tracking (HWT) devices are used to run simulative tests that measure HMA qualities by rolling a small loaded wheel device repeatedly across a prepared HMA specimen.
Acquired test results of the test specimen is correlated to actual in-service pavement rutting, moisture damage, and stripping performance.

Working Principle:
Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP, Poremaster) is pore-size measurement technique, which is primarily based on the principle that a non-reactive and non-wetting liquid (mercury) would only penetrate the pores of a matrix (read a specimen) when sufficient pressure is applied. Thus, the pore-size measurement is based on the following relationship, known as Washburn equation, which describes the pressure, P, required to force liquid mercury into the pores of specific diameter, d:
d =- (4∙T∙cosθ)/P
where θ is the contact angle between the mercury and the pore wall and T is the surface tension of mercury.
The volume of mercury intruded into the specimen is monitored by change in the capacitance of the oil in a penetrometer. By measuring the volume of mercury that intrudes into the specimen, as a function of P, the pore-size and pore-volume distributions can be obtained.

*******Submission of Samples****************
1. Instructions for Users
The specimen should be dry and should contain non-deformable pores and the matrix should be strong enough to withstand the applied pressure. The specimen should be prepared as per the dimensional specifications mentioned earlier. As a prerequisite, the density of the specimen and its contact angle with mercury should be known.
The equipment operation will be allowed only for professionals with prior experience or those who have received enough training to work with this equipment. Prior permission has to be taken from the In-charge of the equipment. The number of specimens that can be submitted through each registration is restricted to three. The specimen will be run for a single trail (unless specified by the user).
Warning: As the mercury, or its vapour, has been designated by EPA, and many state agencies, as a hazardous material that could damage the central nervous system, kidney and liver, precaution should be taken while working performing the analysis.

The motion capture system provides solutions for tracking motion characteristics of objects in wave tanks. Interaction of models with different wave conditions can be studied in model scale in the wave tank set-up and the performance of the prototypes can be predicted. The wave tank facility at IIT Bombay is of dimension 50mx1mx1m. Qualisys motion capture system can accurately capture the displacement of scale model under wave action with high precision. This system consists of four Oqus cameras overlooking the markers. Active/passive markers are attached to the model and the motion characteristics of the model are tracked using infrared light strobes from the motion capture system. The motion of the object under study can be captured by cameras mounted on tripods along the side of the wave tank. The system has to be calibrated before every set of experiments. The calibration set includes a wand, L-shaped reference structure and a custom carrying case. This system is capable of recording 6DOF data accurately and is capable of handling harsh environment.
