The laboratory is mainly used for education and research activities to determine the properties of natural materials and their properties in terms of geotechnical points of view for each construction site where the structures are built. The laboratory has modern test equipment in its inventory. Experiments can be carried out in the laboratory to determine the index, classification, permeability, strength, and deformation properties of soils.
