INFRASTRUCTURE & LAB FACILITIES
1. STRENGTH OF MATERIALS LAB
The quality of building materials is tested under environment as per Bureau of Indian Standard. The students are trained to apply loads to various construction materials under different equilibrium conditions. Tests on materials in compression, tension, torsion, bending, and buckling are performed. These conditions and/or constraints are designed to reinforce classroom theory by having the student perform required tests, analyze subsequent data, and present the results in a professionally prepared report.
2. CIVIL CAD LAB
Computer Aided Design Lab has forty computer systems exclusively installed with Civil Engineering Software. Autodesk Computer Aided Design and Drawing (AutoCAD) Software is used to draw 3D model with landscaping. Structural Analysis and Design for Professionals(STAAD.Pro) software facilitates the three dimensional analysis and design of structures under various loading conditions such as dead load, imposed load, wind load, seismic load and temperature effect as per IS Code. STAAD.Pro Foundation software supports features for analysis of foundation under various types of soil and environment.
3. ENVIRONMENT ENGINEERING LAB
Environment Engineering Lab is meant to analyze the quality of potable water and sewage water. Specialized instrument includes digital pH meter, digital turbidity meter, Calorimeter, muffle furnace, hot air oven, water bath, magnetic stirrer with hot plates, jar test apparatus, kjeldane apparatus, BOD analyzer, COD analyzer & refrigerator for sample storage.
4. SURVEY LAB
Surveying is the primary work done in any construction projects. This lab possesses traditional and modern instruments such as pocket stereoscope, total station and global positioning system (GPS). The students are trained in the field for measuring and recording details of an area of land.
5. SOIL MECHANICS LAB
Soil Mechanics Lab classifies and tests the mechanical properties of soil. The report from this lab is mandatory for the design of relevant foundation or structure. The properties of soil are studied by the student using both field and laboratory test methods according to the standards. The behavior of soil under different loading conditions is necessary for the safe design of soil structure.
6. DRAWING HALL
Drawing is the communication of the civil engineer. In this hall students are trained to draw various structures related to irrigation engineering such as dam, canal, aqueduct, channel etc., and environment engineering such as waste water treatment plant, potable water treatment plant, and sewage treatment plant.
7. CONCRETE AND HIGHWAY ENGINEERING LAB
Concrete lab is used to test concrete and its ingredients such as cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate for achieving the proper mix design. The concrete lab has BIS instruments to test concrete grade M125. Students learn the quality control to be maintained and the quality assurance to be given for concrete as per IS Code. Highway engineering lab facilitates the student to study the properties of asphaltic materials and then designing the flexible pavements.
8. ADVANCED CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY LAB
The department has world class research laboratory to enhance the practical knowledge of students to compete with the growing challenges of the construction industry and in the field of concrete technology. We are carrying out research on post cracking behavior of structural members and corrosion studies by using imported equipments like MCC8 for beam and slab, water permeability testing apparatus, RCPT testing apparatus and SCC from abroad.
