The laboratory perform a wide range of tests to determine varios engineering properties of soil
Tests
• Identification tests of soil: grain size distribution analysis, moisture content, organic matter,
content of calcium carbonate, liquid and plastic limits, relative density, unit weight determination
• Shear strength tests:
1. Direct shear test
2. Triaxial compresion tests (UU, CU, D)
• Consolidation (oedometer) test
• Permeability tests (constant head and falling head permeability test)
• Compaction tests (standard and modified Proctor test, CBR test)
