Geocomp is pleased to announce the addition of an exciting new product to our series of fully-automated soil testing systems – a Bidirectional Cyclic Direct Simple Shear (BDCDSS) machine.
This advanced, table-top unit allows simple shear testing to be performed in two orthogonal horizontal directions rather than the standard single horizontal direction. This system can mimic the stresses that occur to soil elements experiencing cycling in multiple directions. Potential research/testing includes:
- Dynamic earthquake modeling
- Liquefaction
- Offshore structures subjected to waves
- Foundations for wind towers
For testing needs related to the effects of cyclic loads on soils, this system is a must have with its more complete replication of field conditions.

Detailed specifications, product features, and example results.
The BDCDSS can automatically run consolidation, bidirectional cyclic, and post-cyclic undrained shear phases of a test. The device also can be used to perform direct simple shear and unidirectional cyclic direct simple shear tests. With its compact & modern design and broad range of testing capabilities, the BDCDSS continues Geocomp’s commitment to our customers to provide sophisticated, versatile systems that work reliably and are easy to use.
