Abstract: A double-layer concentric loading frame structure suitable for a true triaxial testing machine includes an inner-layer frame, an outer-layer frame and a base. A square slot hole is formed in a middle part of the inner-layer frame. The inner-layer frame is mounted on the base through a support platform. Actuators are mounted at a top end and a bottom end of the inner-layer frame. The outer-layer frame sleeves the inner-layer frame concentrically. Four actuators are distributed on an outer periphery of the outer-layer frame. A support plate is mounted at the top end of the inner-layer frame, and two lifting driving cylinders are mounted on the support plate. Piston rods of the lifting driving cylinders extend below the support plate and are connected to an upper surface of the outer-layer frame. A guide post is mounted on the upper surface of the outer-layer frame and extends above the support plate.
