Foundation engineering and soil mechanics
Fields of work
- determining parameters of soil mechanics
- determining characteristic values in earthworks/foundation engineering
Services
- density (grain density; most compact and loosest storage)
- proctor density
- lime content
- source testing
- compression (oedometer test)
- shear strength (picture frame shear test; triaxial testing)
- consistency (yield and roll-out limit)
- probing
- distribution of grain size through sifting and sedimentation
- organic components (annealing loss)
- water permeability
- plate-bearing test
- water content
