The objective of this
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 various experiments are performed based on basic
engineering to verify the laws of engineering mechanics and measure the
material properties such as tensile strength, compressive strength, impact
strength, hardness, shear strength etc.
Concrete
is most versatile material used in construction industry. The testing and
inspection of concrete and concrete making materials like cement, sand and coarse
aggregates to obtain quality construction are done in this laboratory. The
laboratory allows the students to perform tests on the concrete making materials
and also to assess the properties of various materials as well as fresh and
hardened concrete that may affect the performance of concrete structures. The
apparatus and equipments available at the concrete technology laboratory is
Compressive testing machine, Apparatus for workability measurement, Concrete
mixer, Sieve Shaker, Apparatus required for physical testing of cement like
vicat apparatus, Le chateliar apparatus etc. Apparatus for self compacting
concrete testing is also available in this laboratory.
Geotechnical Engineering laboratory is an integral part of basic
Geotechnics, soil mechanics and foundation engineering. In this laboratory
facilities are available to identify the soil type as well as various index
properties of particular soil. Students are allowed to perform various experiments
in the subject of Geotechnics and soil mechanics. Equipments are also available
in the laboratory to perform the field test in the subject of foundation
engineering.
A proper evaluation of soil samples and analysis of test results
is essential for practicing Civil Engineers. Direct Shear testing machine, Consistency
limit testing apparatus, Standard Proctor Test apparatus, California bearing
ratio Test apparatus, plate load test Apparatus, standard penetration Test apparatus,
apparatus for various index properties of soil etc. are available in this
laboratory.
