The Soil Mechanics Laboratory occupies an area of about 275 square meters. The lab houses various equipment that are necessary for performing the basic geotechnical tests and more advanced tests such as triaxial compression tests, direct shear tests, slope stability, and soil bearing capacity experiments. Recent lab acquisitions also included Direct Shear and Triaxial Testing Machines with Data Acquisition Systems, and an X-Ray Diffraction system.
