First Successful Applied Load Test

This week in lab we were able to get results from our applied load testing. After 30 minutes, there was no visible change but the calculations prove shifting took place. Initially, the angle was calculated to be 35.8 degrees. The calculated angle after applying the bricks was 32.5 degrees. A decrease in angle is consistent with soil degradation because the slope becomes gradually flatter.

Week 7 Lab

For today's lab, we are testing the rain simulator again to get a slower rate and to make a slope that will collapse under the pressure of the weight
