Huder-Amberg swelling test 127 experimental

The Huder-Amberg test is a swelling test performed in oedometric cell. The test procedure includes three steps :1.reconfinement of the sample under a stress equivalent to the in stu stress, 2.wetting the sample and observe its swelling until stabilisation, 3.decremental unloading. The effect of load reduction is to allow swelling. The change in sample height is recorded until stabilisation, and unloading step, is repeated several times .

fr L'essai Huder-Amberg est un essai de gonflement réalisé à l'oedomètre. Le mode opératoire comprend trois étapes :1.le reconfinement de l'échantillon sous une contrainte équivalente à la contrainte effective verticale, 2.la mise en eau de l'échantillon et l'observation de son gonflement jusqu'à stabilisation, 3.le déchargement par paliers successifs de l'échantillon. L'effet de la réduction de la charge est de permettre le gonflement. La vairation de hauteur de l'échantillon est mesurée jusqu'à stabilisation, puis un nouveau palier de déchargement est réalisé.
