    \n
  • Macroscopic soil analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Analysis of basic physical characteristics of soil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Testing the grain size of non-cohesive soil samples (sieve analysis)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Testing the grain size of cohesive soil samples (areometric, pipette, microaggregate analysis)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Soil compaction test by vibrating fork method<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Testing the consistency of cohesive soil samples using various methods (Casagrande\u2019s apparatus, Cone Penetrometer, Vasiliev cone)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Soil swelling test<\/li>\n\n\n\n
