Geotechnical Engineering Lab
Geotechnical engineering is the branch of civil engineering that deals with the engineering behavior of subsurface materials. It includes Soil Mechanics, which is essential to identify, characterize and study the mechanics of soil/rock and Applied Soil Mechanics, which transfers the behavioral knowledge to practice. This includes investigating existing subsurface conditions and materials; determining their engineering behavior that are important to the project considered and designing the foundations.
A typical geotechnical engineering laboratory helps in identifying the engineering behavior of soil. Our Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory is well-equipped with equipments for evaluating all engineering properties of soils including index properties, compaction characteristics, consolidation characteristics and shear strength of soils.
Digital Geotechnical Systems are housed in a separate glass chamber. The triaxial testing machine with CPU is attached with an Electronics Instrumentation system in which the LVDT shows the display of pore pressure, deformations and load. The LVDT readings are interfaced with a Data Logger. This modernization has been extended to consolidation setup also with an introduction of LVDT.
