Main activities in the laboratory
- In this lab, we test construction Materials usable in Civil Engineering like: Soil, Sand, Aggregates, Cement, Bitumen.
List of test that can be done in civil engineering Lab.
- Soil
- Complete identification: – Sieve analysis
– Atterbeg limit
– Proctor test
– CBR test
– Moisture content
– Bulk Density
– Specific Gravity
- DCP (Dynamic cone penetration test)
- Determination of Dry Density of Soil by Sand Replacement.
Sand:
- Sand Equivalent
