ROCK-SOIL MECHANICS INVESTIGATIONS

A View From Rock And Soil Mechanics Laboratory

Rock and soil mechanics tests consist of in situ and the laboratory test that are for to obtain engineering parameters of projects which are at reconnaissance, master plan, feasibility and final design stages of the big construction investigations.

At this perspective, our administration performs main laboratory and field (in-situ) rock and soil mechanic tests which are listed below;
