Laboratory Soil Testing
Analyzes soil characteristics such as moisture, density, shear strength, and compressibility for engineering applications.
Purpose: Provide accurate soil parameters for engineering design.
Moisture Content Test – Determines water content in soil for compaction and strength analysis
Atterberg Limits – Identifies Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Shrinkage Limit for soil classification
Specific Gravity Test – Measures the density of soil particles relative to water
Sieve Analysis (Grain Size Distribution) – Classifies coarse soils based on particle size
Unit Weight / Density Test – Calculates soil mass per unit volume for load-bearing evaluations
Hydrometer Analysis – Determines fine particle distribution in silts and clays
Compaction Test (Standard & Modified Proctor) – Establishes optimal moisture and maximum dry density
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Test – Assesses subgrade strength for road and pavement design
Direct Shear Test – Measures soil shear strength under controlled stress
Unconfined Compression Test (UCT) – Evaluates compressive strength of cohesive soils
Triaxial Shear Test (UU, CU, CD) – Advanced shear strength testing under varied drainage conditions
Permeability Test – Measures water flow rate through soil for drainage and seepage analysis
Consolidation Test (Oedometer Test) – Assesses long-term settlement behavior under load
Swelling Pressure / Free Swell Test – Evaluates expansion potential of expansive clays
Chemical Tests – Includes pH, Sulfate, Chloride, and Organic Content for environmental and structural impact
