SOIL MECHANICS LABORATORY TEST PROCEDURES

Publisher: NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Pages: 107
Date: APRIL 2007

PREFACE
The purpose of this manual is to present the geotechnical test methods used by the Soil Mechanics Laboratory of the New York State Department of Transportation's Geotechnical Engineering Bureau . The intent is to present the mechanics of performing each test, not the theory behind the test.
The triaxial test procedures have been developed from those which are described in Soil Testing for Engineers by T. W. Lambe and The Measurement of Soil Properties in the Triaxial Test by A. VV. Bishop and D. J. Henkel. The consolidation test procedures have been developed from those in Lambe's book.
Other methods. such as those related to geotextiles, block permeability, and membrane fabrication, are relatively new areas in the geotechnical field. The methods and procedures included have essentially been developed, along with the equipment, by the Geotechnical Engineering Bureau .
In some cases it has been necessary to make modifications to existing methods in order to accommodate the conditions and equipment in the Soil Mechanics Laboratory, along with the properties of New York State soils.
