Laboratory investigations

If required, please contact Mrs Göta Bürkner

  • Soil mechanics standard tests, for example classification tests, permeability tests,  oedometer tests, direct shear tests, uniaxial compression test, CD, CU and UU triaxial tests, abrasivity testing, laboratory vane shear test, suspension testing
  • Soil mechanics special tests, for example cyclic oedometer, direct shear and triaxial tests, Bender Element Test, Resonant Column Test, simple shear tests with monotonic and cyclic loading, softoedometer, testing of rheology and viscosity, tempered triaxial tests, ring shear tests
  • Model tests under the effect of simple gravitational acceleration (1g model tests)
  • Field measurements, for example inclinometer measurements, measurement of strain, earth pressure, pore water pressure, velocitiy (geophone), and acceleration
