Because of limitations of deformation measurement method。 it was difficult to research the in influences of soil specimen deformation caused by end restraint and end contact in triaxial test before. By digital image processing technique
the axial deformation and radial deformation of triaxial specimen are measured directly. Making a comparison between the results with traditional method and digital image processing technique
these influences are determined quantitatively. Finally
it is concluded that using the digital image processing method measure the local deformation directly can avoid the influence of the end restraint arid end contact to the deformation of soil specimen.
