The Complete job (1997-2002) includes:
Advanced Soil Mechanics Laboratory
An advanced soil mechanics laboratory is established mainly for graduate students and for static and dynamic testing on saturated and unsaturated soils and soft rocks. Also a constant temperature and humidity chamber is made to do especially unsaturated soil tests in this chamber.
Many of the apparatuses present in the lab are built or modified by us to accommodate our needs. The main apparatuses that are active in our laboratory are as follows:
All above apparatuses have the capability for unsaturated soil testing as well.
