    LABORATORY

    Proper laboratory testing of soils to determine their physical properties is an integral part of the design and construction of structural foundations, the placement and improvement of soil properties, and the specification and quality control of soil compaction works. It needs to be kept in mind that natural soil deposits often exhibit a high degree of nonhomogeneity. The physical properties of a soil deposit can change to a great extent even within a few hundred meters. The fundamental theoretical and empirical equations that are developed in soil mechanics can be properly used in practice if, and only if, the physical parameters used in those equations are properly evaluated in the laboratory. So, learning to perform laboratory tests of soils plays an important role in the geotechnical engineering profession.
