GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY & SOIL MECHANICS LABORATORY

The objective of geotechnical lab is to evaluate engineering properties and index properties of the samples using modern tools available in the lab. The lab is equipped with equipment’s like: casagrande apparatus, direct shear apparatus, tri-axial test apparatus, standard proctor test apparatus, grain size analysis test apparatus, permeability test apparatus, swell pressure and shrinkage limit test. It also includes field test apparatus like CBR test, SPT and plate load test etc.

SURVEYING LABORATORY

Surveying Laboratory provides students with hands-on experience to supplement instruction in surveying courses. The Surveying Laboratory has a wide variety of modern surveying equipment, such as total stations, Digital theodolites, and automatic levels for determination of distances, reduced levels and contours, bearing of lines, horizontal and vertical angles. The objective is to aware the students about latest technology and its use on the field.

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS LABORATORY

The objective of the lab is to perform experiments which are related to Mechanics of Solid subject in order to understand the practical’s related to theories of the subject.  The practical includes understanding of the properties of solid materials like tensile strength, compressive strength, hardness and impact value of different materials. This properties is understood by the equipment like hardness apparatus, Universal testing machine, izod impact apparatus, System of Pulleys, Co-Planner concurrent & Non Co-Planner concurrent of Force, Simply Supported Beam Apparatus and Sliding friction Apparatus.

HIGHWAY ENGINEERING LABORATORY

The Highway Engineering Laboratory is equipped to conduct standard tests for bitumen pavement design and paving materials to assess their engineering properties and behaviour. The objective of this laboratory is to make the students familiar with principles and procedures of testing of highway materials. Various experiments are conducted to evaluate and characterize the properties of aggregate, bitumen, and bituminous mixes. The lab is having equipment like California Bearing Ratio apparatus, crushing value test apparatus, Los Angles abrasion test apparatus, flash point fire point test apparatus, Bitumen Ductility Test apparatus, Bitumen Extractor, Ring & Ball apparatus, Standard Penetrometer, Marshal Stability Test Machine, Water Bath etc.
