Laboratory report:

Each student is required to write a professional laboratory report on practical activities completed/demonstrated. This includes calculations and discussion on the results and the description of the test procedure.

Test reports must be short and precise to point out calculations/results/graphs and discussion. The limit for explaining the procedure, results and conclusions is a maximum of 3-5 pages.

Please also note that the practical report is an individual submission and each student should do their own analysis and explanations.

A similarity check will be always done before marking the submitted assignments for all students. Upon detection of any plagiarism including:
Similarity between submitted reports within the same cohort or with the previous cohorts or submitted works to other institutes or using the material provided by cheating websites will result in failing that assignment without marking and the student will be reported to the CQU Academic Misconduct team for further actions.

Submission hints:

Use report template of Assessment Item#1

Make separate chapters for two tests (1) direct shear test and (2) UU tri-axial test

Tentative contents for each chapter: objective, method, procedure, analysis of results and conclusion

Example graphs for direct shear test: shear stress vs shear displacement, settlement vs shear displacement, shear stress vs normal stress (for shear strength parameters)

Example graphs for UU test: radial stress vs axial strain, deviotric stress vs axial strain, Mohr-circles (for shear strength parameters).
