FYP Students Completing Their Experiments

Three teams of FYP students are working hard to complete their experiments before start writing final FYP reports. Three teams, namely Standard Triaxial Team, Shaking Table Team and Cyclic Triaxial Test Teams, are nearly completing their experiments as shown below. They have a common task of finding out the deformation and strength properties of residual soil. Although they have taken undisturbed samples from field, due to the time constrain only the tests on compacted soil with the same densities in the field are to be completed.

1) Standard Triaxial Team; Examining the effective stress paths during undrained shear
2) Shaking Table Test Team; Examining the shear modulus through shaking table test
3) Cyclic Triaxial Test Team; Examining the small strain behavior of compacted residual soil
