Advanced tests such as Effective Stress have become commonplace but other advanced tests can also provide invaluable data during and after ground investigations.
This seminar will provide perspectives from the laboratory and engineer from specifying the tests to receiving the results.
Effective stress:
Sampling and sample disturbance
Advanced Triaxial Testing:
Overview of other advanced tests:
Quality Assurance
