GROUP OF TESTING LABORATORIES<br />

BUILDING SOIL TESTING LABORATORY<br />

Carries out the tests of:<br />

all kinds of granular and cohesive soils<br />

geosynthetics<br />

and determines:<br />

physical properties (particle size distribution, water content, consistency limits, linear shrinkage, specific area,<br />

maximum buffering capacity, density of solid particles and bulk density)<br />

maximum and minimum bulk density<br />

organic matter content<br />

optimum water content and maximum dry density (Proctor apparatus)<br />

parameters of consolidation and compressibility<br />

swelling pressure and swelling index<br />

permeability*<br />

strength tests (shear strength, cohesion and angle of internal friction in a direct shear apparatus and a triaxial<br />

compression apparatus using the UU method, without consolidation and drainage, and the CU and CD<br />

methods, with saturation and consolidation, residual strength, determination of the shear modulus Gmax by<br />

measuring the speed of acoustic waves – bender element)*<br />

water permeability in vertical direction to the product surface*<br />

water flow capacity in the product plane*<br />

index flux*<br />

characteristic pore size*<br />

long-term protective efficacy of geotextiles in contact with geosynthetic barriers*<br />

* beyond the scope of accreditation<br />
