Laboratories

Engineering Geology

The identification of different types of rocks and minerals and understanding their behavior are the major objectives of Engineering Geology Lab. Further to identify the problems associated with different geological features on Civil Engineering Structures and suggest alternatives.

Environmental Engineering

The Environmental laboratory supports the environmental protection functions of by performing chemical, bacteriological and radiological analyses of environmental samples including drinking water, surface water and waste water. Different kinds of tests are performed on water and waste water in order to determine the physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters to check whether the water is useful for drinking and construction purposes.

Geo-Technical Engineering

The Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory intends to train the students in the field of testing of soils to determine their physical, index and engineering properties. The Geotechnical engineering Laboratory is equipped with facilities to carry out many types of tests on soils. These include testing of a large range of sample sizes for compressibility, shear strength and drainage properties. A typical geotechnical engineering laboratory helps in identifying the engineering behavior of geo-materials and byproducts such as fly ash etc. This information is used by geotechnical engineer for designing the type of foundations, earthworks such as dams, embankments, tunnels, reservoirs, pavement subgrades, and specialized applications like waste containment systems. The preciseness of such design is entirely based on the experimental information obtained from a geotechnical laboratory. Therefore, geotechnical engineering laboratory has a great role to play in rendering the subsurface a safe and stable load bearing medium.

Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machines

The purpose of this laboratory is not only to introduce practical knowledge to the student but also improve the technical way of writing report, communication skills and network. To achieve the basic objectives of a laboratory course work, active participation of students and teachers are vital. Before performing actually an experiment in the laboratory, students should acquire background knowledge of the experiment, method of analysis, interpretation of experimental results and practical significance of results. In addition students must aware of preparing a standard laboratory report for the given experiment. In engineering education, laboratory classes especially for under graduate students play a significant role in concreting their theoretical knowledge of fluid mechanics and machinery.

Geosynthetics and Rock Mechanics

Geo synthetics and Rock Mechanics laboratory offered to the students pursuing postgraduate courses in Geotechnical Engineering. Geo synthetics testing laboratory focus on testing of geo synthetics to ascertain their physical, mechanical and hydraulic properties for their suitability in various civil engineering applications. Further, knowledge about the mechanical properties of rocks is very important for all construction work in rock mass. The rock mechanics laboratory provides Knowledge on evaluation of Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) Brazilian Tensile Strength Point Load Strength Index of rock specimens.

Concrete

The laboratory serves a wide spectrum of activities covering those related to teaching, research, development and consultancy. The primary activities include experimental studies on different types of materials which are using in concrete and testing of concrete specimens in various exposure conditions. This lab also offers technical services for testing and research on the structural behavior and properties of materials. The laboratory major equipment includes Compression Testing Machine, an Accelerated Curing Tank, a Workability measuring equipment, a Humidity Chamber, a vibrating table, a Muffle Furnace, a Cement Autoclave, Concrete Mixer etc. Other sophisticated equipment to perform Non-destructive are also available and used extensively in various activities.

Surveying

Surveying plays a vital role in every construction project. Every project commences and accomplish with surveying. Surveying laboratory is offered for undergraduate students to obtain practical knowledge on boundary, topographical surveys and setting out of works by hands-on training with wide variety of modern surveying equipment, such as UAV, DGPS, Total stations, Vernier theodolites and Automatic levels. Students can utilize the topographical information attained for capstone projects, such as highway design and land development. Student use of the lab is preceded by appropriate safety training and instruction on the use and care for the equipment.

Mechanics of Materials

The Mechanics of Materials Laboratory is used for demonstrating phenomena related to stress, strain, buckling, and fatigue. The student workstations are complete with equipments like UTM, CTM, Torsion testing Machine, Hardness testing machines and many other testing equipment for the hands on practice. The 40T UTM installed in the lab provides static tension-compression testing, for traditional wear testing, material classification and characterization which is connected to a data acquisition system. Various consultancy services are provided in the lab by testing different material for many government and private organizations.
