Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory
About the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory
The CEPT Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory works towards encouraging students towards practical research activities in the field of geotechnical engineering. It helps students in identifying the engineering behavior of geo-materials (soils and rocks) and by-products such as fly ash by determining different physical, chemical and geotechnical properties. The various tests conducted in the laboratory help in solving problems related to the sub-surface, comprising of different types of soils and rocks, which is the ultimate load bearing stratum. The soil tests which can be performed as per Indian Standards in the laboratory are listed below:
