CIVIL ENGINEERING

Laboratories

The laboratories at the Civil Engineering department are designed to provide students with all facilities for carrying out the practical oriented studies and research projects of students.

The main objective of Material testing lab is to
  •  To test several properties of material like ductility, surface roughness, malleability, hardenability etc.
  •  To carry out Torsion, Hardness & Impact tests and determine various moduli, hardness numbers and impact energy.

The main objective of Concrete & Structural Engineering Laboratory is to
  •  To conduct all quality control tests on cement, aggregates and concrete (Fresh and hardened). Students learn the standard procedure to test the quality of building materials in line with the corresponding IS codes.
  •  To know the practical behavior of the physical structures like beams.
Equipments
Vicat Apparatus with All Accessories, Compaction Factor Apparatus, Compression Testing Machine, Concrete Mixture Machine, Vibrating table, Flextural Strength Test Machine
The Surveying Laboratory enables students
  •  To understand and practice the basic principles of surveying by conducting field exercises using a wide spectrum of surveying equipment
  •  To give solid understanding of data collection methods including surveying, profile leveling, contouring, compass traversing, laying out of curves, base line measurement and triangulation.
Equipments
Measuring Chain, Dumpy level, leveling staff, Surveying chain, Transit theodolite, magnetic compass, Auto level
The Geotechnical Engineering laboratory's goal is to
  •  To train the students in the field of testing of soils to determine their physical, index and engineering properties
  •  To Experience with the measurement of geotechnical laboratory parameters
  •  Ability to design and conduct experiments as well as analyze and interpret data
Equipments
Hydrometer, standard and modified proctor test apparatus, sieve analysis, mechanical sieve shakers, Casagrande liquid limit device, Un-Confined Compression Testing Apparatus, Direct shear test apparatus, CBR Testing Machine, Consolidation Test Apparatus
The aim of the Transportation Engineering laboratory's is
  •  To know and classify the pavement material into different group depending upon their physical and strength or stability characteristics. The various tests conducted on bitumen to find the properties and results can help in designing the pavements.
  •  Help students comprehend the technical skills regarding the mix design through marshal stability test.
Equipments
Softening Point Test Apparatus, Ductility test apparatus, Auto Compacter For Bitumen, Marshall Stability Test Apparatus, Los-Angeles Abrassion Testing Machine, Stripping Value Of Aggregates, Impact Testing Machine
The main objective of environmental engineering lab is
  •  Enhance the knowledge of the students about the physical, chemical, and bacteriological parameters of drinking water and wastewater as per standards
  •  Gain knowledge in various parameters of water and quality control.
Equipments
PH meter, B.O.D Incubator, Jar Test apparatus etc.
