There are many different types of lab equipment used in civil engineering , including: Triaxial cell: used to measure the strength and deformation characteristics of soil samples Consolidation apparatus: used to measure the compression and deformation characteristics of soil samples Direct shear apparatus: used to measure the shear strength of soil and rock samples California bearing ratio apparatus: used to measure the bearing capacity of soil samples Unconfined compression apparatus: used to measure the compression strength of soil samples Torsion testing machine: used to measure the torsional strength of materials Flexure testing machine: used to measure the flexural strength of materials Cement testing equipment: used to measure the properties of cement such as setting time and compressive strength These are just a few examples of the many different types of lab equipment used in civil engineering. The specific equipment used will depend on the type of testing being done and the pr...
