AwardsCooper Technology is proud winner of The ICE East Midlands Merit Awards (EMMAs) 2012 for testing equipment in ‘Studies and Research Category’. The ICE EMM Awards are the region’s annual celebration of civil engineering excellence. The awards took place during the annual ICE East Midlands Gala Dinner held on Friday, 7 June 2012 at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel.

Cooper Technology strikes again; after winning the EEF’s Future Manufacturing Business Growth Award 2010, is conferred with International Business of the year for Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Cooper was declared regional winner at the Roundhouse in Derby on the 26th of February 2010.

Corporate Social ResponsibilityOrganisations, like individuals, depend for their survival, sustenance and growth on the support and goodwill of the communities of which they are an integral part, and must pay back this generosity in every way they can…We strongly believe that our primary obligation or duty as corporate entity is to our stakeholders – we are just as mindful of the fact that this imperative does not exist in isolation; it is part of a much larger compact which we have with our entire body of stakeholders- from employees, customers, business partners, eco-system, local communities, and to society at large.For us, being socially responsible is not an occasional act of charity or that one-time token financial contribution to the local school, hospital or environmental NGO. It is an ongoing year-round commitment, which is integrated into the very core of our business objectives and strategy.Because we believe that there is no contradiction between doing well and doing right. Indeed, doing right is a necessary condition for doing well.

Cooper engages with ‘Colts to Africa’to help underpriviliged childrenMANUFACTURE ECO-FRIENDLY EQUIPMENT

Although it is very challenging to manufacture eco-friendly testing equipment for asphaltic and unbound materials, however our engineers endeavour to work on more energy efficient designs and manufacture energy efficient testing equipment.As part of our overall commitment to corporate social responsibility, Cooper Technology developed it’s first eco-friendly testing equipment called Auto Lift Arm ECO Wheel Tracker in 2010. It is small and compact machine for maximum energy efficiency.

AUTO LIFT ARM ECO WHEEL TRACKER IS 28% MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT THAN ITS PEER WHEEL TRACKING MACHINES.

RESPECT FOR ENVIRONMENT

We understand the importance of environment. At Cooper Technology we try to minimise waste and take every single and even simple steps like switching off the lights and equipment when not needed, switching off computer monitors during the night, avoid printing unnecessary emails and recycling paper. We have cut-down hardcopy catalogue printing by 85% and prefer to promote our product digitally.

Remote Support ServiceCooper Technology provides an easy access, cost effective remote service support program that allows us to fix many issues on your computer, and Cooper testing equipment, from the comfort of your laboratory or business. All you need to do is download our custom remote support program and we will do the rest. Once work is completed all traces of the program are removed and we are unable to access your computer again until you initiate the connection. All connections from our office to your system are encrypted so you can rest easily knowing that your information is completely safe.

We can fix a large range of problems remotely including, but not limited to:

• Software problems• Installation of programs• Software patches• Software upgrades• Maintenance• Program configuration• Tests and PC optimisation

This is just a small list of what can be accomplished remotely and, best of all, you don’t even have to be at the system once you run the program.

Calibration ServicesBritish scientist Lord Kelvin is quoted from his lecture to the Institution of Civil Engineers, 3 May 1883 as saying:

“I often say that if you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers you know something about it; but when you cannot express it in numbers your knowledge is a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge but you have

scarcely, in your thoughts, advanced to the stage of science, whatever the matter may be.”

This famous quote emphasises the importance that measurement has in science, industry and commerce. Prior to dispatch, where appropriate, each piece of our test equipment is calibrated by qualified engineers using procedures and equipment which is scrutinised annually by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). The International Laboratory Cooperation (ILAC) links UKAS with accreditation bodies worldwide. All equipment needs to be UKAS calibrated and traceable to national standards in order to satisfy typed testing as described in the EN13108. Although equipment from Cooper Technology normally continues to perform correctly and produce accurate results for many years, over time and through application there could be some component wear and the output from electronic components may drift. A highways material laboratory is not an ideal environment for instruments that must, in some cases, measure displacements within accuracies in excess of one millionth of a metre.

The Benefits of CalibrationTo comply with your internal quality assurance policy and to demonstrate a disciplined commitment to sound laboratory management.

• To have the confidence that your test equipment continues to function correctly and to ensure that it maintains the required level of measurement accuracy you would expect.

• To enhance your customers’ confidence in a reliable and accurate testing service.

• To gain national and international recognition of your testing and to • help you to access foreign markets where laboratory accreditation is

compulsory.

The equipment needs checking and calibrating at least annually by one of our fully trained, UKAS approved engineers from Cooper Technology Calibration Division. On completion of the calibration, our engineer will provide you with an update on the condition of the equipment, together with a traceable calibration certificate.

If you have any comments or suggestions please feel free to write to us: [email protected].

I would like to comment on how impressed we are with the new Wheel Tracker ECO Small Device since we purchased the machine beginning this year. It has been in constant use. The benefit that we have seen in that this version is fully automated from start to finish, compared to the standard 1 arm wheel tracker, which is quite a bit labour intensive where you have to physically place the arm/wheel on the specimen, wait until test temp is achieved before starting the test, and lifting the wheel off the specimen at the end of the test. Our technicians also find our software a lot more user friendly.

DATA ACQUISITION AND SOFTWARE

4 or 8 channel static uniloggers (TG-0320 or TG-0325 ) are used for recording displacement data over time.

• High resolution : 260.000 points• Serial port for PC and printer connection• CPU card by microprocessor 32 bit ARM risk architecture• 4 or 8 analogical channels for displacement transducers

The consolidation software is developed according to ASTM D2435, D3877, D4546, BS 1377:5 and AASHTO T216 standards to use with static unilogger systems. The displacement transducers are connected to unilogger and unilogger is connected to PC by RS232 serial output. The software is capable monitoring the chance of displacement data over times. The user can start recording of vertical displacement and stop current recording proses. The user can enter time intervals (or select fixed time intervals) and stress for calculation consolidation test data.

The consolidation software have 8 different columns which can be set to different normal load values. The user can also manually enter the vertical displacement to these columns. The time displacement pairs are drawn to square root time and logaritmic time graphs. The software can calculate engineering terms like as square root t90, t50, t100, mv, Cv. These calculations are done in respect to the standarts requirements by using best line algorithms.Since these parameters require an engineering perspective while making comments, all test data and graphs are exported to Microsoft ExcelTM for further investigations.

• Foreign Language Support and Customisable User Interface• Graphical outputs and reports can be saved as a

MS Excel TM worksheet• Maximum flexibility to edit report and graph templates

DATA ACQUISITION AND SOFTWARE

The Direct and Residual shear software is developed according to ASTM D3080, BS 1377:7 and AASHTO T 236 standards to use with TS-2060 Machine. Direct residual and shear software consist of two sections. First section is used for the consolidation of the sample prior to shear.

The software is capable of making three different types of test. The first type of the test is to move the machine till a load failure happens. On the second type of test the user can set a horizontal displacement and the test will continue until the machine reaches set value. On the last type of test, the machine can be configured as going to a set horizontal displacement value and return to home position. And also the number of cycles, forward/reverse speeds and displacement for the measurement of residual shear may also be programmed. The software supports 5 different normal load values in order to calculate cohesion values. Prior to the test normal load value must be entered to the software. The normal stress value would be calculated in respect to normal load and sample size automatically. The software supports both square type and round type samples. For both samplesthe area might be calculated by directly or by using the netarea caused by horizontal displacement. The net area method is especially important for critical samples on academic literature. When the test is completed max and resilient stress values are recorded.The normal load versus max stress pair is used for calculating the cohesion value and angle. At least 3 loading with differentnormal loads are required for this property. One can set test speed, axis values etc through the setup of the software. The results can be submitted as a report or can be exported to Microsoft ExcelTM for advanced re-analyse procedures.

DESCRIPTION

The test covers the determination of consolidated drained shear strength of a soil material in direct shear. The machines are ideal for determining shear resistance of soil-geosynthetic / geomembrans by direct shear. TS-2160 and TS-2165 Automatic Direct / Residual Shear Test Machines are motorised and floor mounted. The total vertical load on the specimen can reach up to 100 kN.TS-2160 accepts up to 300 mm square shear box assembly.TS-2065 accepts from 450 mm to 650 mm square shear box assemblies. All shear box assemblies are designed to containwater that surrounds the specimen. The Assemblies consist of a shear box with a rigid wall square or round hole complete with a vertical loading pad two retaining plates ( one is smooth, the other is peforated. The shear machines are driven by high resolution servo-motor and gear box assembly. Speed range is fully stepless variable over the range 0.00001 to 9.99999 mm/min for both direction (forward and reverse). After test the reverse speed is 10 mm/min.). 100 kN load cell is used for load measurement. 200 x 0.01 mm sensitivity linear potentiometric transducers are used for vertical and horizontal displacement measurements. Horizontal Displacement limits are controlled by limit switches.

DIRECT / RESIDUAL SHEAR

DISPLAY UNIT AND CONTROLLER

The 240 x 320 TFT Graphic Display is used for monitoring horizontal and vertical load and displacement values. All testparameters such as speed, failure condition etc. can be defined through this interface. The test can be started up and stopped by touch buttons.

The controller has two indepent control axes, one for horizontal motion one for vertical motion. The displacement on horizontal motion is measured through external displacement sensor fitted to frame and also through the encoder behind the servo motor. All calibration of sensors can be done easily by entering new points respect to the error.

The software is capable of monitoring all measured values and drawing Shear stress vs Horizontal displacement. After threeruns with different normal loads, the software calculates the cohesion value ‘c’ and shear resistance angle ‘φ’ by using thebest straight line fit.

KEY FEATURES

User can select 3 different test types:• The machine run with the given speed to the direction of

Triaxial Test Systems, 220-240 V 50-60 Hz

DESCRIPTION

Determining the mechanical properties of soils is a very important step to design foundations, embankments and other soil structures. Building constructions, excavations, tunnelling and similar applications have several effects on the subsoil structures and these effects are successfully simulated with Triaxial Tests where the stress-strain relation of undisturbed soil specimen are investigated by subjecting the soil sample to different stress levels and drainage conditions.The Triaxial Test System provides automated triaxial compression tests on cylindrical undisturbed and remolded soil samples. Unconsolidated undrained (UU), consolidated drained (CD) and consolidated undrained (CU) compression tests can be automatically run, controlled and reported using this apparatus.

TRIAXIAL TESTS / UU-CU-CD TESTS

UU Only Triaxial Test Configuration

UNCONSOLIDATED UNDRAINED (UU) TEST

For the UU test , the specimens (assumed to be saturated prior to test) are subjected to a confining fluid pressure in a triaxial chamber. Once the specimen is inside the triaxial cell, the cell pressure is increased to a predetermined value by rotating the knob, and the specimen is brought to failure by increasing the vertical stress by applying a constant rate of axial strain. Saturation and consolidation are not permitted to keep the original structure and water content of sample untouched. Pore pressures are not measured during this test and therefore the results can only be interpreted in terms of total stress.

These tests are generally carried out on three specimens of the same sample subjected to different confining stresses.

Since all specimens are supposedly saturated the shear strength are similar for all tests. The results of the test are plotted as curves of principal stress difference against strain. For conditions of maximum principal stress difference (taken as failure) Mohr circles are plotted in terms of total stress. The average undrained shear strength should be noted, and the failure envelope drawn tangential to the Mohr circles in order to find the ‘undrained cohesion intercept’ and undrained ‘angle of shearing resistance’.

CONSOLIDATED UNDRAINED (CU) TEST AND CONSOLIDATED DRAINED (CD) TEST

Peak effective strength parameters (c’ and φ’) may be determined either from the results of consolidated undrained (CU) triaxial compression tests with pore pressure measurement, or from consolidated drained (CD) triaxial compression tests. The consolidated undrained/ drained triaxial compression tests are normally performed in several stages, involving the successive saturation, consolidation and shearing of each of three specimens.

Saturation is carried out in order to ensure that the pore fluid in the specimen does not contain free air. Saturation is normally carried out by leaving the specimens to swell against an elevated back pressure. Back pressure (which is simply an imposed pore pressure) is applied through a volume change gauge to the top of the specimen, while a cell pressure of slightly higher value is also applied. Both cell pressure and back pressure are normally increased in increments, allowing time for equalisation at each stage. The degree of saturation can be expressed in terms of Skempton’s pore pressure parameter (Skempton, 1954):

where Δu is equal to change in pore pressure for an applied cell pressure change of Δ σ3. For an ideally saturated soil B is equal to unity. It is recommended by several standard test methods that a value of B greater than, or equal to, 0.95 must be achieved before the specimen may be considered as fully saturated and the consolidation stage started. The consolidation stage of an effective stress triaxial test is carried out for two reasons.First, three specimens are tested and consolidated at three different effective pressures, in order to give specimens of different strengths which will produce widely spaced effectivestress Mohr circles.

Secondly, the results of consolidation are used to determine the minimum time to failure in the shear stage. The effective consolidation pressures (i.e. cell pressure minus back pressure) will normally be increased by a factor of two between each specimen, with the middle pressure approximating to the vertical effective stress in the ground. When the consolidation cell pressure and back pressure are applied to the specimen, readings of volume change are made using a volume change device in the back pressure line. Pore pressure is measured at the specimen base, with drainage to the back pressure line taking place through a porous stone covering the top of the specimen. The coefficient of consolidation of the clay can be determined by plotting volume change as a function of the square root of time. Theoretical considerations indicate that the first 50% of volume loss during consolidation should show as a straight line on this plot. This straight line is extended down to cut the horizontal line representing 100% consolidation, and the time intercept at this point (termed “t100” by Bishop and Henkel) can be used to obtain the coefficient of consolidation.

CONSOLIDATED UNDRAINED (CU) TEST

Once consolidation is complete, the specimen is to be isolated from the back pressure and the rate of vertical movement of the compression machine platen set according to result of consolidation.. During the shear stage the vertical stress is increased by the loading ram, and measurements are made at regular intervals of deformation, ram load and pore pressure. These are converted to graphs of principal stress difference(σ1- σ3) and pore pressure as a function of strain, and failure is normally taken as the -

- point of maximum principal stress difference. The effective stress Mohr circles are plotted for the failure conditions of the three specimens which has been subjected to different consolidation level, and the gradient and intercept of a straight line drawn tangential to these circles defines the effective strength parameters ‘c’ and ‘φ’.

CONSOLIDATED DRAINED (CD) TEST

The consolidated drained triaxial compression test, with volume change measurement during shear is carried out in a similar sequence to the consolidated undrained test, but during shear the back pressure remains connected to the specimen which is loaded sufficiently slowly to avoid the development of excess pore pressures. The shear stage of a drained triaxial test can be expected to take between 7 and 15 times longer than that of an undrained test with pore pressure measurement. Once shearing is complete, the results are presented as graphs of principal stress difference and volume change as a function of strain, and the failure Mohr circles are plotted to give the drained failure envelope defined by the parameters cd’ and φd’. Triaxial CD-CU-UU equipment is computer controlled, test values can be transferred to computer and data processing can be made with Triaxial software on Windows operating system. All data can be used on ExcelTM programs. The load data and axial displacement data are transfered and recorded through BC 100 unit to the software. Three pressure data (cell pressure, back pressure and pore pressure) from triaxial cell and volume change data transfered and recorded through the unilogger to the software.

CRT-CIST-883 Clegg Impact Soil Tester, 4.5 Kg with readout unit clamped to guide tube

STANDARD

Approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials and a Standard, under Designation No D 5874 issued in 1995, entitled ‘Standard Test Method for Determination of the Impact Value (IV) of a Soil’

DESCRIPTION

The Clegg Impact Soil Tester provides a means for measuring and controlling soil strength and consolidation levels during trench re-instatement. It is also used to confirm uniform compaction over wide areas of ground, identifying poorly compacted areas and ineffective rolling of materials. A special lightweight version of the Tester is also available for checking sports turfs whilst a heavy duty version is supplied for testing harder materials and roadworks.

The Clegg Impact Soil Tester provides a compact and reliable instrument for monitoring and controlling the quality of reinstatements while the work is in progress, avoiding the need for re-excavation should later tests reveal poor workmanship.

The Clegg Impact Soil Tester consists of a 4.5 kg compaction hammer operating within a vertical guide tube. When the hammer is released from a fixed height, it falls through the tube and strikes the surface under test, decelerating at a rate determined by the stiffness of the material within the region of impact.

A precision accelerometer mounted on the hammer generates an electrical charge which is fed by a cable to a hand-held digital readout unit. The readout unit scans and filters the signal and registers the deceleration in units of Impact Value (IV). The Impact Value is an indication of soil strength and shows good correlation with results from CBR tests.

Data from the Clegg Impact Soil Tester can therefore be used in a similar manner to results from CBR tests performed in the laboratory and in the field.

We also manufacture versions that use heavier hammers. These instruments are supplied with a 10 Kg or a 20 Kg Hammer mounted within a metal guide tube on a pull along cart. Please enquire for more details.

DESCRIPTION

TS-0620 Automatic Soil Compactor is designed to compact specimens automatically and uniformly, assuring conformity with the above listed international standards.

The principle of the design is to allow the hammer to drop the required height into the soil in the mould which rotates circularly to distribute the blows uniformly over the surface of the specimen in the mould. The drop height is adjustable to 300 mm, 305 mm, 450 mm and 457 mm. The rammer is circular faced and interchangeable to 50 mm or 50.8 mm diameter. Rammer weight is adjustable to 2.5 kg or 4.5 kg according to reference standard.

When compacting 100 mm diameter specimens the unit operates on a single radius and when compacting 150 mm diameter specimens the unit operates on inner and outer radius to obtain even compaction.

The number of blows per layer can be set at the beginning ofthe test by the digital counter. This is important because the number of blows per layer have to be varied as necessary to prepare specimens having unit weights above and below the desired value. This automatic blow pattern ensures effective and equal compaction for each layer of soil by rotating the base table, so the mould, in equal steps and travelling the rammer across the mould. User defined blow number and in-out distribution is also available.

Compactor is equipped with programmable digital counter which allows the machine:

• To select reference standard (number of blows and mould size) by the operator at the beginning of the test

• To set desired compaction cycle (number of blows and count of the number of inner and outer drops) by the user

STANDARDS

AASHTO T190; ASTM D1561 - 92 (2005) E1

DESCRIPTION

The Kneading Compactor was designed as part of the Hveem mix design method to produce specimens which were more simulative of the compaction produced by rollers in the field. A tamping foot of 20cm² is pushed down onto mixture enclosed in a 4 inch diameter mould. The tamping foot is then retracted and the mould rotated through 60°. This kneading action is far more simulative of a field roller than the impact compaction used in the Marshall mix design method.

DATA ACQUISITION & PC SOFTWARE

CBR Test Software is developed for EN/ASTM/AASHTO/BS CBRTest. The software includes control of machine, acquisition ofload and displacement data, saving them and preparing reports.The software prepares a summary result for the user that will only need some specific loads such as at 0.625 mm, 1.25 mm, 2.5 mm and 5 mm. The software continuously updates load, stress and displacement till the end of test. When the test is completed, the sharpest slope of the graph is calculated. The point that this line crosses displacement axis is commented as an offset. The corrected stress values are then calculated respect to this offset.The CBR value at 2.5mm and 5.0mm are calculated by using the standard load values at those penetrations. On the general information tab, there is an easy usage dry density calculation. These results are used on generating 3 point CBR graph. The software supports metric, SI and Imperial unit system.

LIGHT WEIGHT DEFLECTOMETER

PRODUCT CODE

DESCRIPTION

Direct measuring of the E-modulus. PRIMA 100 is the only portable falling weight Deflectometer with a separate load cell. This allows measuring on all layers irrespective of strength, as the drop height is adjustable. The PRIMA 100 method is quicker than the isotope measuring method and requires no reference measurements. The equipment has no radioactive sources requiring safety courses and can be operated by one operator, allowing for the analysis of collected data and printing out of data files on site. PRIMA 100 can be supplied with GPS allowing storage of measuring positions and data in GIS databases.

DATA COLLECTION

Data collection with the new PRIMA 100 is done via cable/portable PC or wireless PDA/bluetooth. The latter option allows the operator to work freely on a measuring site. The operator controls the measuring work on the instrument itself. After each drop all data is displayed. Data is stored in the computer or PDA. When measuring large amounts of points, it may be an advantage to store data in more files.

DATA PRESENTATION/DOCUMENTATION

After the measuring campaign or any time during a campaign, data can be seen on the display. Either each individual drop or the entire series of measuring points is displayed. Data can be transferred to ExcelTM or WordTM. This allows printing of data for further interpretation or direct presentation in a report as documentation for e.g. a client. Extension to three geophones is possible.

EQUIPMENT

The equipment is delivered with a 100 mm and 300 mm diameter loading plate, a 10 kg weight, integrated load cell and electronic box and a centre-mounted geophone. Extension with a beam for two extra geophones is possible. A portable PC or a PDA with a data collection program installed is required.

EASY POWER SUPPLY

PRIMA 100 is a field instrument and thus the power supply must be handy. Four ordinary AA batteries supply power to electronics and display.
