Civil Engineering students' laboratory exercises at the Faculty of Civil Engineering (FGPA)

Within the course Geotechnology, taught by Dr Jakob Likar, Civil Engineering students carried out laboratory exercises designed to introduce them to basic geomechanical investigations. The exercises ran in two groups and were led by Tamara Bračko at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering and Architecture (FGPA).

Students first toured the geomechanical laboratory and learned about the course of geotechnical investigations and the importance of laboratory results in the design of structures – from sample preparation to the interpretation of results.

In the practical part they carried out tests of grain-size distribution and compressive strength of soils and learned the procedures for determining natural moisture, bulk density, specific gravity, shear strength, compressibility and permeability, as well as the CBR method and the determination of maximum soil density.
