The Shearmatic 300 – Large Shear Testing Machine is designed to meet the rigorous demands of soil and geosynthetic testing, making it well-suited to complying with standards such as BS 1377:7 and EN ISO 12957. BS 1377:7, part of the British Standards for methods of test for soils for civil engineering purposes, focuses on shear strength tests (total stress) and (effective stress), and shear strength tests on soils under consolidated conditions. On the other hand, EN ISO 12957 specifies requirements for determining geosynthetic friction characteristics.

The Shearmatic 300’s advanced design and capabilities ensure that it can perform a wide range of shear testing protocols required by these standards, providing accurate and reliable results for soil and geosynthetic materials. Its compliance with such standards underscores its utility in civil engineering, geotechnical, and environmental projects, where understanding materials’ mechanical properties is crucial for design and safety considerations. By facilitating tests that adhere to BS 1377:7 and EN ISO 12957, the Shearmatic 300 supports the assessment and verification of material characteristics essential for the successful completion of construction projects.
