- A new geotechnical centrifuge has recently been installed in the Department of Civil Engineering. There are many planned research projects in the areas of earthquake mitigation, environmental hazards mitigation and advanced infrastructure geotechnology that will utilize this...
Graduate Geotechnical Research Laboratory
- Over the years, special cells and special transducers have been designed and built to conduct static and dynamic tests on hollow cylinders. The testing and data acquisition systems are fully automated and are properly interfaced to allow microcomputer controlled testing. The Soil Dynamics...
Undergraduate Geotechnical Teaching Laboratory
- The Department of Civil Engineering operates an undergraduate geotechnical testing laboratory to conduct most routine ASTM and AASHTO tests, following their standardized procedures. The laboratory is used as part of the instruction included in the course ECIV330 (Soil Mechanics)...
