PREFACE

This is a compilation of laboratory report in partial fulfillment of the requirements in

construction materials and testing academic year 2021-2022

These laboratory reports encompassed different information discussed during the

lecture and conducted during the whole first semester survey Gathered data and
information were later organized which was followed by an evaluation and
generalization This laboratory report served to inform the potential readers and future
surveyors regarding the smallest up to the biggest concern. From the basic equipment,
principles, to errors and mistakes that existed in the said laboratory.

In addition, this compilation was not limited in giving a primary source of information. It
also came with an actual involvement in the laboratory survey itself. Along with it, you
should be able to indulge yourself with the procedures given. Recognized mistakes and
came up with an alternative

At the end of this compilation, I hope you would be able to gain an empirical knowledge
regarding un construction and amplify it for future references to be used on the actual
Construction Field
