Soil Mechanics Laboratory

Soil Mechanics laboratory helps to understand the basic mechanical principles underlying modern soil mechanics and creates an understanding of assumptions that are inherent to the solution of geotechnical problems.

In this laboratory course, students will learn how to test soils for their index and engineering properties and to characterise soils based on their properties by conducting Atterberg Limits test, Triaxial test, UCS test, Proctor compaction test etc.
