Specially designed oedometer with coupled air-heat drying system for consolidating the sample under controlled temperature
Advanced triaxial testing system that can automatically perform UU, CU, CD and many other tests under high pressure up to 3500 kPa using hydromatic pressure/volume controllers.
This system extends traditional triaxial testing capabilities by allowing the characterization of unsaturated soils under stress and suction conditions representative of in-situ field states, particularly for soils located above the water table.
They are designed to perform conventional triaxial tests for saturated soils at the highest level of reliability and accuracy.
Large-scale laboratory loading system for applying static and cyclic loads to scaled soil models and geotechnical structures, enabling simulation of field loading conditions.
Advanced triaxial system for studying both static and dynamic behaviour of soils under controlled suction and saturation conditions.
A custom-built test system to simulate contaminant transport through soil under controlled hydraulic gradients, with systematic effluent collection
A custom-designed test setup to measure gas permeability and diffusion coefficient of cap barriers simultaneously at a required distortion level and settlement rate.
Laboratory system for preparing chemical solutions using controlled alkali neutralization titration, including Polynuclear-hydroxy Al (PHA) synthesis.
Custom-designed consolidation test setup to perform tests under K0 stress conditions using unit cell approach.
A simple but reliable custom-made PIV/DIC test setup to track the shrinkage and crack pattern of expansive soils under controlled environment to evaluate various unsaturated soil parameters.
