ABOUT THE LABORATORY

Introduction

The geotechnical eng. lab was established in 2007 to provide service for the educational and research labs offered in BSc civil eng. and MSc Geotechnical eng. and also research projects supervised by the faculty members of the civil engineering department, university of Isfahan. The following is the list for some of the tests which may be conducted in the lab.

LABORATORY CAPABILITIES

Available Tests
