Civil Engineering Lab
Material Testing Lab
The Material Testing Lab is essential in Civil Engineering for understanding the behavior, strength, durability, and properties of various construction materials under different loading conditions. This helps ensure safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in construction projects.
Commonly Tested Materials
- Concrete
- Steel
- Bricks
- Cement
- Aggregates (Coarse and Fine)
- Bitumen
- Wood
- Soil (sometimes overlaps with Geotechnical Lab)
Highway Engineering Lab
The Highway Engineering Lab is designed to study and analyze the materials used in road construction and evaluate their properties to ensure the safety, quality, and durability of pavements. The lab plays a crucial role in testing bituminous materials, aggregates, and soil used in highway construction.
Commonly Tested Materials
- Bitumen and Bituminous Mixes
- Aggregates (Coarse & Fine)
- Soil (for subgrade analysis)
- Sub-base and Base Course Materials
Hydraulics Engineering Lab
The Hydraulics Engineering Lab is designed to help students understand the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering through hands-on experiments. This includes the behavior of fluids (especially water), flow measurement, energy losses, and hydraulic machines used in civil infrastructure like dams, canals, and pipelines.
Purpose of Lab
- Flow behavior in open channels and pipes
- Energy and head loss in fluid flow
- Measurement of discharge and velocity
- Calibration of hydraulic instruments
- Working of pumps and turbines
- Fluid forces on surfaces and objects
Surveying and Leveling Lab
The Surveying and Leveling Lab is designed to give students hands-on experience in measuring land, angles, distances, and elevations. These skills are essential for the planning, designing, and execution of civil engineering projects such as roads, bridges, buildings, dams, and boundary demarcations.
Cadd drawing Lab
The CADD Drawing Lab equips students with the skills to create precise, professional engineering drawings and designs using computer-aided design software. It plays a vital role in modern civil engineering for the planning, drafting, modeling, and visualization of structures and infrastructure.
