Geotechnical Laboratory

Investigation of soil properties for safe and stable civil engineering construction

Laboratory Overview

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.

Soil Classification

Atterberg limits, moisture content, and specific gravity tests.

Particle Size

Sieve analysis and hydrometer analysis of soil samples.

Strength

Shear strength, UCS, and triaxial testing of soils.

Consolidation

Settlement behavior and compressibility analysis.

Fundamental Soil Tests

Moisture Content

Determines water content present in soil samples.

Atterberg Limits

Defines plastic, liquid, and shrinkage limits of soil.

Specific Gravity

Measures density ratio of soil solids.

Strength & Stability Tests

Direct Shear Test

Determines shear strength of soil under loading.

Triaxial Test

Advanced testing for shear strength under pressure conditions.

UCS Test

Unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soils.

Compaction & Permeability

Proctor Test

Determines optimum moisture content for compaction.

Permeability Test

Measures water flow through soil (constant/falling head).

Consolidation Test

Evaluates settlement behavior under load.
