Foundation Engineering- Field Test

The reliability of Laboratory results to represent the in-situ soil properties remain significant concern to the Geo-technical engineer. The change in the environment conditions (e.g. pressure, moisture) and the disturbance that the soil sample under goes during extraction and subsequent handling and testing may greatly influenced the test data. Following tests are done for field test -


  • Penetrometer Test
  • Van Shear Test
  • Load Test
  • Observation Wells
  • In-situ Permeability Test
  • Pile Load Test
