Geotechnical Engineering Research Facilities:
The F.E. Richart Soil Dynamics Laboratory  The F.E. Richart Soil Dynamics Laboratory is a fully equipped geotechnical laboratory with specialized testing apparatus to determine the dynamic properties of soil, to include a CKC Cyclic Triaxial Machine and a Drnevich Quasi-Static Torsional Simple Shear/Resonant Column Apparatus. The CKC Cyclic Triaxial Machine allows isotropic and anisotropic cyclic triaxial tests to be performed, either stress or strain controlled. The Drnevich Quasi-Static Torsional Simple Shear/Resonant Column Apparatus allows a large amplitude quasi-static torsional strain to be imposed on soil specimen, while simultaneously, the soil sample can be subjected to a low amplitude variable frequency torsional cyclic stress.
