Investigation of soil properties for safe and stable civil engineering construction
The Geotechnical Laboratory specializes in testing soil and rock samples to determine their engineering properties. These tests ensure safety, stability, and suitability of soil for construction of foundations, dams, highways, and other infrastructure projects.
The laboratory supports design, analysis, and quality control in geotechnical and environmental engineering applications.
Atterberg limits, moisture content, and specific gravity tests.
Sieve analysis and hydrometer analysis of soil samples.
Shear strength, UCS, and triaxial testing of soils.
Settlement behavior and compressibility analysis.
Determines water content present in soil samples.
Defines plastic, liquid, and shrinkage limits of soil.
Measures density ratio of soil solids.
Determines shear strength of soil under loading.
Advanced testing for shear strength under pressure conditions.
Unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils.
Determines optimum moisture content for compaction.
Measures water flow through soil (constant/falling head).
Evaluates settlement behavior under load.
