GEOTECHNICAL LABORATORY SERVICES Laboratory testing is a fundamental element of a geotechnical investigation. The ultimate purpose of laboratory testing is to utilize repeatable procedures to refine the visual observations and field.

This Lab manual was prepared with the help of ASTM and ―Engineering Properties of Soil based on Laboratory Testing‖ by Prof. Krishna Reddy, UIC and some online materials. Mr Shafiqul Islam, Assistant Professor, Dept. of CE helped a lot for preparing the manual. Last. In many engineering problems such as design of foundation, retaining walls, slab bridges, pipes, sheet piling, the value of the angle of internal friction and cohesion of the soil involved are required for the design. Direct shear test is used to predict these parameters quickly. tion of why. It is my experience that little learning occurs in the cookbook lab. This manual uses several techniques to avoid the pitfalls of the cookbook lab. The first is to have a good story. In the context of geotechnical lab testing, a good story is a practical engineering proj-ect requiring geotechnical data and analysis.
