Marine Geotechnics Lab

Ring Shear Apparatus

 

Ring shear apparatus (25MPa normal stress) to determine frictional behaviour, peak and residual shear strength and pore-pressure changes of marine sediments

 (more...)

Dynamic Triaxial Testing

 

Hydraulic load apparatus to simulate fluctuating three-dimensional stress conditions

(more...)

 

Heated Direct Shear

 

Sim­u­lates fric­tional slid­ing of fault rocks down to PT re­gimes equi­val­ent to the seis­mo­genic zone

(more...)

Direct Shear Apparatus

 

The Marine Geotechnics laboratory at MARUM is equipped with three Giesa single-direct shear apparatuses.

Vane Shear

Applicable during research cruises and in the lab, the vane shear apparatus  is a fast and easy way to determine a first approximation of the undrained shear strength of sediments

Fall Cone Penetrometer

 

First-order estimate of sediment's stiffness

(more...)

Consolidation

 

We use a number of Oedometers to investigate the soil's consolidation in a geotechnical sense.

More information is available via Prof. Tobias Mörz (more)

 

Heated Uniaxial Apparatus

 

The al­ter­a­tion of mech­an­ical prop­er­ties such as per­meab­il­ity, void ra­tio and poros­ity can be de­term­ined by the change of de­form­a­tion and pore wa­ter pres­sure throughout the tests.

Permeameter

 

Several backpressured permeameter systems, spanning from 800 kPa to 3.5 MPa confining pressure, are available for hydraulic testing in the MARUM geotechnical laboratory.

Helium Gas Pycnometer

 

A gas pycnometer is a laboratory device used for measuring the density or, more accurately, the volume of solids
