🌍🔬 Discover the Power of the Hydrometer in Geotechnics! 🔬🌍 Today in our geotechnical laboratory, we want to share the importance of the hydrometer test, a fundamental technique for analyzing the fine fraction of soil. 🏺✨ The hydrometer helps us determine the particle size distribution in soils with a high proportion of fines, which is crucial for understanding their mechanical and compaction properties. 💧🔍 Why is it so important? Soil Classification: Knowing the composition of the fine fraction allows us to classify soils more accurately. Soil Behavior: The fine fraction influences the soil's plasticity, cohesion, and permeability. Foundation Design: Proper analysis aids in designing safer and more efficient structures. 🏗️ ✨ In our laboratory, we use precise and modern techniques to ensure reliable results. The science of soil is fascinating! 🌱 Do you have questions about the hydrometer test? Leave them in the comments! 👇
