Geotechnical Engineering
Description: Geotechnical Engineering laboratory is used to study the properties of the soil conducted on different types of soils. These tests are done to find out the suitability of soil for the construction projects. Some soil properties are intrinsic to the composition of the soil matrix and are not affected by sample disturbance, while other properties depend on the structure of the soil as well as its composition, and can only be effectively tested on relatively undisturbed samples. Some soil tests measure direct properties of the soil, while others measure “index properties” which provide useful information about the soil without directly measuring the property desired. Each experiment of soil testing is presented with brief introduction covering the important details of the experiment, the theory and the purpose for which it is to be performed, followed by the detailed explanation of apparatus required, procedure and specimen calculations. These should enable students to perform the experiment and compute the results of experiments very easily.
