Geotechnical / Geoenvironmental Engineering
Research Facilities
The recently completed Constructed Facilities Laboratory (CFL) of the
new NCSU Engineering Graduate Research Center (EGRC) contains over
12,000 sq. ft. and includes 30-ft. ceilings with overhead cranes, a
13-ft.-thick multi-cell-box strong floor, and two 24-ft. tall strong
walls. A state of the art geotechnical laboratory includes
prototype-scale and full-scale test pits and a grouting pit. Advanced
testing equipment includes a stress path triaxial testing system, a
calibration chamber, and a gas chromatograph and resonant column. In
situ testing equipment includes a pressure meter and a Marchetti
dilatometer.
