Geotechnical lab

The geotechnical engineering lab tests geotechnical characteristics of soil for geotechnicians, designers, builders and engineering-geologists.

The geotechnical lab does the following studies:

classification and composition of soil – particle size distribution, Attenberg limits, content of organic matter and carbonates;
soil condition – consistency, density;
physical characteristics – water content, bulk density, specific gravity;
water properties – permeability, swelling, soaking;
mechanical characteristics – compressibility, consolidation, shear strength, unconfied compressive strength;
soil corrosive activities on foundation and cables;
around water aggression on foundation;
consultation on soil testing.
