The Geotechnical Engineering Laboratories in the Department of Civil Engineering at LU provides the hands on training in determination of Engineering and index properties of soils, applied in field problems. The students will have acquired knowledge on various field tests of soil and will have acquired knowledge on strength, density and improvement properties of soil. The laboratory and related courses develop an understanding of the behavior of foundations for engineering structures and to gain knowledge of the design methods that can be applied to practical problems. The course will also demonstrate the analysis of footings, rafts, piles, slope stability and retaining walls.
We study the interface between the natural and built environments with emphasis on ensuring the sustainability and resilience of the world’s infrastructure.
