The GDS Quasi Dynamic Triaxial Automated System is based exclusively on the static GDSTAS triaxial system as used in commercial laboratories and research institutes. The GDS 50kN load frame has the unique capability that it can run dynamically at frequencies up to 0.1Hz inherently, when combined with a dynamic logging system instead of the static logging system supplied with a GDSTAS as standard. The system is capable of cyclic displacement and cyclic load tests up to a frequency of 0.1Hz. The Quasi Dynamic System uniquely fills a gap in the market for medium speed cyclic testing, for half the cost of a typical, full capability, dynamic system.
