Triaxial tests has been routinely used to measure the stress–strain relationship for geomaterials. During triaxial testing, many sources of errors that cannot be completely avoided but are often ignored or approximated using empirical equations. This paper presents a systematic investigation of soil volume change, volume strain nonuniformity, and cross-sectional calculation along the specimen during triaxial testing using a photogrammetry-based method. Consolidated drained triaxial tests were performed in which two parallel measurements were taken: (1) relative volume using the conventional triaxial testing and (2) absolute volume using the photogrammetry-based method. The difference in the observed volume and void ratio measurements between the two methods highlighted the importance of absolute soil volume over the relative volume method. The results revealed the effect of soil volume change in the interpretation of triaxial testing findings. Various preparation steps and procedures during triaxial testing have influenced the initial measured volume and thus caused deviation of the subsequent associated measurements. This method would present a quality control approach for different aspects of triaxial testing to improve the test simulations to accurately measure the soil behavior. The proposed method is important for more refined simulations and identification of setup-induced errors. Additional applications of the current research would allow correct determination of the stress path followed during triaxial testing, the critical-state soil mechanics parameters, and the stress–strain relationship, including deformation and strength parameters.
