The Geotechnical laboratory was founded in 2001 for the purpose of civil engineering undergraduate students to carry out the experiments included in the content of their soil mechanics courses. It has a capacity to serve groups of 30 people in a 100 m2 area. In addition to this, it has the necessary equipment for the research studies of masters and doctorate degree students. These experiments can be carried out in a special section consisting of 60 m2 area. Another area of activity of the Geotechnical Laboratory is to meet the experiment and project design requests of the market. More than 1000 projects have been concluded until today. Most of the soil and rock mechanics experiments are performed in accordance with TS, BS, and ASTM in the Laboratory. Not only static but also dynamic and material experiments can be performed in the Laboratory. In addition, optional special experiments which are not in the current scope of the Laboratory can be implemented. There is a 50 m2 archive for the storage of remaining samples. A staff of 4 people including 2 doctorate academics is employed in the laboratory
