Facilities

The laboratory is in 95 square meters space including special equipments for measuring two dimensions & three dimension stresses, strain and load carrying capacity for the RCC, Steel  and Composite structures/Components with the help of in-house fabrication and  setup of loading frame  and electrical strain gauges. This laboratory can be used for U.G, P.G and Research/Consultancy purpose and also for various outsourcing services including private and public sectors. The laboratory is managed by a full time laboratory in-charge.

The laboratory is in 95 square meters space which includes the equipments for measuring & verifying the basic concepts, important theorems available in the Structural analysis and Structural mechanics theory subjects. This is useful for U.G students for better understanding the concepts about the behaviour of members/materials when subjected to the external loading by the suitable models and apparatus available in the laboratory. Assessing the concrete quality is also a vital part in the laboratory experiments.

The Fluid Mechanics Laboratory course is an indispensable supplement to the theory. It covers measuring devices and techniques, error analysis in experimental works and analysis of assumptions in the theory of fluid mechanics.

The objective of Construction materials laboratory is to determine the physical properties of building construction materials like cement, fine and coarse aggregate, steel, wood, and strength characteristics of cement mortar. The tests include determination of specific gravity, fineness, normal consistency, setting times, workability and soundness of cement, fineness modulus of fine and coarse aggregate, strength of cement mortar, and bricks. The students will be able to infer the suitability of these materials for construction.

Laboratory testing is the common element which all participants in the construction process utilize to provide assurance that their part of the process is correct. In this context, Concrete lab provides facilities for testing concrete in fresh and hardened state. Consultancy work for various construction firms are done extensively in the lab. It includes test for compressive strength, flexural strength, fineness and mix design of concrete etc. Thus a hands on exposure to these tests helps the students to craft themselves to be a civil engineer with better confidence and assessment skills.

This laboratory contains different equipments used to categorize soil and bitumen binders in terms of their properties and quality control and provides an additional exposure to the testing of Highway Construction materials for the Civil Engineering students.

Students will be involved in sampling, testing and evaluating soils in order to build a comprehensive knowledge about soil characteristics and their physical properties. Properties include soil strength and settlement under weights, and soil response to compaction.  The student is introduced to field investigation and testing. He/ She is also familiarized with the relative compaction and consolidation procedures.

The primary objective of this lab is to demonstrate environmental engineering testing procedures.

The Surveying laboratory undertakes works related to site survey, levelling and preparation of layouts, Contour mapping using Total station.

COMPUTER AIDED STRUCTURES LABORATORY is a well equipped lab offering a different dimension of Civil Engineering. It allows the students to use different softwares and its applications.

To cater the students need in the field of research and to work on the research projects, a separate research lab has been setup in the Civil Department.
