- Determined the plastic and liquid limits of fine-grained soils to classify them and assess their moisture-related behavior.
- Conducted laboratory compaction procedures to establish optimum moisture content and maximum dry density for soil used in construction.
- Measured the amount of organic matter in soil samples to evaluate their suitability for engineering works.
- Performed particle-size distribution analysis to verify grading and ensure compliance with project requirements.
- Assessed in situ soil density at field locations to confirm that compaction levels met specified standards.
- Evaluated the durability of aggregates by measuring their resistance to abrasion and impact for use in road and structural applications.
- Checked the workability and consistency of freshly mixed concrete during on-site quality control.
- Tested concrete specimens to determine their compressive strength, and confirm compliance with design specifications.
- Assessed the bending (tensile) performance of concrete to ensure it meets structural requirements for beams, slabs, and pavement elements.
