Faculty of Planning
Geotechnical Investigation
The Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory provides opportunity to acquire necessary skills for performing appropriate laboratory experiments on the soil samples to determine the physical and engineering properties of the samples using modern tools available in the lab. Students also get hand-on experience with the way of testing procedures, analyzing the tests results and using the results in preparing a technical soil report. It also encourages the practical research activities in geotechnical engineering for students.
