In soil mechanics and Geotechnology lab students gain hands-on experience in conducting soil laboratory tests to determine soil parameters needed for soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering design. Further the laboratory involves determination of moisture content, density, plastic limit, liquid limit, shrinkage limit, bearing capacity, grain size distribution and specific gravity of soil. The laboratory also has the facility to study the physical properties of soil. Facilities are available for determination of shear strength, water content, specific gravity of the soil by using direct shear test, pycnometer and core cutter method.
