EL 105 – Soil Mechanics Laboratory

This laboratory conducts soil mechanics tests such as consolidation, direct shear, and unconfined compressive strength (UCS). It also performs fundamental geotechnical experiments—including soil characterization, particle size distribution, moisture content determination, and compaction curve analysis—providing critical data for civil engineering applications.

The experiments conducted in this laboratory are as follows:

  1. Consolidation Test
  2. Direct Shear Test
  3. UCS
  4. Moisture Content
  5. Sieve analysis
  6. Hydrometer analysis
  7. Liquid Limit and Plastic Limit
  8. Soil Compaction Curve
  9. Consolidation Test
