Could you recommend the best equipment for geotechnical testing? 1. Conducting tests on soil-stone mixtures: What equipment is best to use? Can those results be measured? 2. In terms of geodynamics: Which manufacturers produce better equipment? 3. Which units’ equipment can measure the dynamic properties of rocks?
There are also many aspects to geotechnical testing; refer to the \"Standard for Geotechnical Testing Methods\" GB/T 50123-1999. Different methods and instruments are required for various geotechnical parameters. It’s hard to say what is the best – the most suitable method is the best one. Well, then the most expensive one must be the best. True triaxial apparatuses are extremely costly and not something that can be purchased easily. Geotechnical dynamic parameters can be determined through laboratory tests (dynamic triaxial testing, resonance column testing) as well as in-situ tests (excitation methods, forced vibration, free vibration, etc.). Refer to the \"Engineering Geology Handbook\"; generally, large-scale, first-class survey and design firms should be capable of carrying out such tests
