6.3 Laboratory Experience

I am familiar with almost all laboratory tests in the geotechnical and roads areas. I worked in in Brazil with highly advanced computer controlled load track system for soil testing (from Geocomp Corporation). The system can handle all types of triaxial tests (UU, CU, CD), stress path tests, consolidation and CRC and flexible membrane permeability equipment.
