Laboratory
STRENGTH OF MATERIALS LABORATORY
Strength of material laboratory provides the basic knowledge of strength of materials and the students can perform different tests on variety of materials. Experiments are performed to measure the properties of materials such as impact strength, tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness, etc.
SURVEYING LABORATORY
The students will possess knowledge about Survey field techniques. The Surveying Laboratory has a wide variety of modern surveying equipment, such as total stations, theodolite, and levels for basic instructional and research purposes. Undergraduate students use the laboratory as an integral part of their surveying coursework and obtain any topographic information that can help their capstone design projects, such as highway design and land development
SOIL MECHANICS
The knowledge of the Soil Mechanics Laboratory is necessary for all Civil Engineering works as the determination of the engineering properties of soils plays an important role in all types of construction. To determine the classification of soil into silt, sand and clay etc. To determine the Index and Engineering properties of soil like specific gravity, water content, shrinkage limit, plastic limit, permeability, consolidation, shear strength tests etc. The knowledge gained from this laboratory will be useful to understand the theoretical subjects like Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. This laboratory is also useful in the field of structural design of sub structures like footings, pile foundations and retaining walls.
FLUID MECHANICS LABORATORY
The Fluid Mechanics laboratory is designed to investigate fluid characteristics and conduct experiments on both incompressible and compressible flow. Facilities are available for researching the principles of fluid statics, as well as the kinematics and kinetics of fluid flow, to enhance our students’ hands-on experience. It is an introductory course that covers flow behaviour, fluid forces, and analytical tools. The experiments’ aims include determining the forces created when fluid flow occurs across a solid object, applying the control volume technique, flow measurements, major and minor losses in the flow, and determining the state of flow using the Reylods experiment.
CONCRETE & HIGHWAY ENGINEERING LABORATORY
- Concrete is one of the important construction materials. Study of its constituents and their properties is essential for preparing desired mix so as to develop required strength necessary for various types of Structures. The durability of the structures depends upon the care with which ingredients of concrete are selected, mixed, placed, compacted and cured. Concrete is used not only for construction of building, but also for concrete roads, gravity dams, retaining walls, water tanks, airport runway pavements, etc.
- Knowledge of the subject is essential for the Design of Concrete Structures. Strength, workability, durability are important characteristics of concrete. Compressive strength of concrete describes the load caring capacity, workability is the indicator of ease with which we work on concrete, whereas durability shows the resistance of concrete to environmental attack.
- All these properties of concrete are determined by performing the experiments in Concrete & Highway Engineering Laboratory. Also, the students will able to design various grades of concrete by DOE, ACI and Indian method of concrete mix design. In addition, the properties of construction materials used in highway engineering are also determined in this laboratory.
