• How do I enter data for a certain lab test?

• gINT calculates the results for some fields.  What are the equations used? 

• How do I calibrate our tools for unconfined compression and hydrometers?

Lab Testing User Guide

The Lab Testing User Guide is a manual for using the gINT Lab Testing module.  It includes:

• Adding Lab Testing Support
• Using Defaults and Calibrations
• Defining a Lab Specimen
• Water Content / Density
• Atterberg Analysis 
• Sieve Analysis
• Hydrometer Analysis
• Fine Specific Gravity
• Compaction
• Unconfined Compression
• Consolidation
• Direct Shear
• Falling Head Permeability

It also shows 3 scenarios for Sieve Analysis:

• Wet specimen, no split, incremental weighing
• Wet specimen, split sieve
• Wet specimen, coarse fraction sieved wet

Lab Testing Equations

The Lab Testing Equations document explains how gINT calculates results for the following in our lab testing tables:

• Water Content / Density
• Void Ratio and Saturation
• Atterberg Analysis
• Sieve Analysis
• Hydrometer Analysis
• Fine Specific Gravity
• Compaction
• Optional Calculation of Maximum Dry Density and Optimum Moisture Content
• Unconfined Compression
• Consolidation
• Direct Shear
• Falling Head Permeability
