6Permeability testAbhisekh

7Direct shear test, Unconfined compression testSudheer

8Triaxial test (Saturation and UU test)Chandra

9Consolidation/ swelling test

10Demo on tensiometer measurements and volumetric water content sensors

11Demo on Guelph permeameter

12Demo on Tension and minidisc infiltrometer

Note:1) Samples for unconfined compression test need to be prepared one day prior to experiment 2) Final lab report evaluation and lab exam 12-11-15 3) Consolidation requires loading, unloading and again re-loading (To start tentatively by 3-9-15)4) All lab copies need to be submitted the next week for evaluation. You need to take back the corrected copies and submit all experiments in a file at the end of lab sessions. Getting it evaluated and taking it back is your responsibility. Lab dates
