This course covers many soils tests that can be done in Excel Liquid Limit; Plastic Limit; Sieve Analysis; Specific Gravit; Proctor.
Each test includes a description of the equipment used, the procedure used along with how the calculations and graphs look in Excel. Many engineers used to use a slide rule to calculate and graph paper to plot up the results. Excel can be used to do the calculations and plot the results. A little prior knowledge of how to use Excel is needed. This course should be of interest to Civil Engineers who might be involved with different kinds of soil testing, even if you work in the field, lab or design.
