What’s on the Soil Testing poster
A 6-row table: Test · What it gives you.
In-situ tests keep the stress state; laboratory tests control drainage.
- SPT, in situ — N value, density, rough strength
- CPT, in situ — Continuous resistance profile
- Vane shear, in situ — Undrained strength of soft clay
- Plate load, in situ — Stiffness at shallow depth
- Triaxial, laboratory — c and φ, drained or undrained
- Oedometer, laboratory — Compressibility and rate
Educational reference. Test selection and interpretation are governed by standards and a qualified engineer.

- Who is the Soil Testing poster for?
- Soil Testing belongs to the Civil Engineering section rather than to a school year, because engineering is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning geotechnical can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Soil Testing poster?
- Choosing a testing schedule, or reading someone else's factual report. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Soil Testing belongs on the wall where that engineering work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Soil Testing?
- Atterberg Limits, Bearing Capacity and Compaction Control sit alongside Soil Testing in the Civil Engineering section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Atterberg LimitsBearing CapacityCompaction Control
- Is the Soil Testing poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Soil Testing downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Civil Engineering section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Soil Testing poster print at?
- Soil Testing is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Soil Testing loses nothing.Printing guide
