Civil Engineering Lab

SURVEY LAB

Our surveying lab offers supplemental experience in fundamental land surveying measurement methods for surveying courses, including precision steel taping methods to perform horizontal measurements, traditional transits and digital theodolites to perform angular measurements, and traditional and automatic levels for elevation measurements. In addition, students have opportunity to use total station equipment, which enables horizontal, vertical, and angular measurements to be made in one operation.

  • Digital level
  • Global Positioning System (GPS) for performing differential GPS surveys
  • Total stations
  • Autolevels

GEOTECHNICAL LAB

The geotechnical.   lab is equipped with testing systems for learning principles of strength of soil observing physical behaviors of common engineering soil under various loading conditions, and becoming familiar with modern sensors.

The soil lab provides academic and research services through performing all lab tests needed for analysis and study of soil characteristics and its properties. Various equipment consist of

  • Tensile strength test system
  • Torsion machine
  • Digital direct shear test machine
  • Unconfined compression machine
  • 1-D consolidometer

STRUCTURE LAB

The Structural Analysis Lab facilitates in the determination of the effects of loads on physical structures and their components. Results of the analysis are used to verify a structure’s fitness for use.and the geology lab consists of various materials such as rocks, minerals etc. major instrument used in this lab are as under-

  • Three hinged arch application
  • Elastic properties of beam
  • Deflection of truss
  • Redundant truss

BUILDING MATERIAL LAB

Concrete is the most widely used construction material. The concrete laboratory tests every component in the concrete mix design as well as the concrete mix itself. The lab provides evaluation of the plastic properties of the mix as well as the hardened properties. Various instruments in this lab includes

  • Universal testing machine
  • Vicat apparatus
  • Compressive testing machine
  • Slump cone test
  • Non destructive testing
  • Mix design

  • Brick testing

ENVIRONMENT LAB

The Civil Engineering environmental lab gives you hands- on access to both conventional and state-of-art equipment for the study of the physical, chemical, and biological analysis of water and soil. The lab is used extensively for environmental courses where water and wastewater experiments are performed, including coagulation, solids analysis, metals and ion analysis, adsorption, titrations, oxygen demand, and bacterial culturing.

  • Atomic adsorption spectrometer
  • High performance liquid chromatographer
  • Ion chromatographer
  • Particle size analyzer
  • Scanning spectrophotometer
  • Microscopes, autoclave, centrifuges, water baths, and incubators for microbiological analysis

TRANSPORTATION LAB

Transportation lab consists of equipment used in the testing of bituminous materials such as viscosity, ductility and plasticity and other devices for super-pave testing of bitumen and aggregates. There are other devices for mix design by both Superpave and Marshall Methods. Other instrument used in this lab are
