Explanation, demonstration and execution of standard tests in soil mechanics:

• particle size distribution
• state limits
• water content
• density evaluation: limit densities, specific density, proctor test
• oedometer (compressibility)
• simple shear
• triaxial tests (drained, undrained)
• permeability

Students of the courses Civil Engineering MSc (particularly with Study Focus V) and Engineering Structures MSc (particularly with Profile 4)

The students can conduct the standard experiments common in soil mechanics by themselves, define appropriate experimental conditions, analyze and control the experiments purposefully and derive conclusions for the construction. They conducted experiments exemplarily by themselves.
