Testing Facilities
The testing facilities of the Geotechnical laboratory at NTUA, apart from research projects and applications are used for Diploma and Dissertation projects submitted on completion of undergraduate and postgraduate studies respectively. Advanced state of the art apparatuses are instrumented and fully controlled with data acquisition systems, controllers and transducers developed and/or adapted in-house to the standards and versatility required for high quality research. These include:
- The Hollow Cylinder torsional apparatus
- Triaxial Stress Path Cells
- Medium Pressure Triaxial Apparatus
- High Pressure Triaxial Apparatus
- High Pressure Oedometer
- Dynamic Triaxial Apparatus
- Bender element applications
- MEMS sensors’ applications
