About Soil Mechanics Laboratory – II

This laboratory provides an idea about soil classification and verities based on the Index Properties like Specific gravity, water content, Consistency limits and in-situ densities. These are very essential to know as an engineer for the construction of roads & bridges, buildings, irrigation structures like dams, canals etc.,
