Laboratory tests

The laboratory of Department of the Geotechnical Engineering Department offers all standard soil mechanical tests.

For example:

  • Water content determination 
  • Grain distribution (sieving and sedimentation)
  • State limits
  • Density determinations
  • Compression tests
  • Shear tests (frame shear tests and triaxial tests)
  • a.o.  

The laboratory is equipped with the latest measurement technology.
Due to this, the measurement data acquisition is done electronically. 

In addition, in the laboratory can be carried out:

  • Cyclic triaxial tests
  • Shear strength determination in the large-frame shear tester
  • Large-scale tests under high static and cyclic loads
  • Permeability tests at high pressure heads
