Mechanics of Solid Lab
The objective of the laboratory is to demonstrate the basic principles in the area of engineering mechanics and strength of materials to the undergraduate students through a series of experiments. In this lab the experiments are performed based on basic engineering and to measure the properties of the materials such as impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness, ductility etc.
Concrete Technology Lab
The testing and inspection of concrete and concrete making materials like cement and aggregates are important elements in obtaining quality construction. The laboratory allows the students to perform tests on the materials and also to assess the properties of various fresh and hardened concrete properties that may affect the performance of concrete members. The apparatus and machines available at the concrete technology laboratory are Sieve Shaker, Compressive testing machine, Flexural Testing Machine, Apparatus for workability measurement, etc.
Geotechnical Engineering Lab
Soil Testing is an integral part of soil mechanics and foundation engineering. A proper evaluation of soil samples and analysis of test results are essential of students and practicing civil Engineers. Tri-axial Testing machine, Direct Shear testing machine, Unconfined compression testing machine, consistency limit testing machines available in the laboratory.
Earthquake Engineering Lab
Several major facilities have been developed in the Department to conduct experiments related to earthquake engineering. Some of the major facilities include: a low cost shake table for dynamic testing of structural models like pounding effect, mode shapes, spring mass system, re-entrant corners, building model with active and passive damper devices.
