Soil Testing Methods for Civil Engineering

This document outlines 25 soil mechanics experiments to be performed by the Department of Civil Engineering at Maharaja Institute of Technology in Mysore, India. The experiments include determining the natural moisture content, specific gravity, grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, compaction properties, permeability, and shear strength of various soil samples. The objectives are to characterize the engineering properties of soils that would be used in applications like airfield runways, highways, swimming pools, embankments, and pavements.
