    Abstract

    The paper presents the first series of true triaxial tests carried out on air-pluviated unfrozen and frozen specimens of Aalborg University Sand No O. The specimens have been tested in the newly improved version of the Danish rigid boundary true triaxial apparatus to optimise the preparation and installation techniques for testing sand in the apparatus. The tests have also formed the basis for implementing, testing and modifying a quite complex data collection and control software package. Moreover, some of tests were designed to investigate the anisotropy of the specimens. The optimised techniques used for preparing the unfrozen and frozen sand specimens are together with the installation of the specimens into the apparatus outlined in terms of a photo gallery. Furthermore, the gallery includes photos showing how to install frozen specimens into a conventional triaxial apparatus.
