The obsolete equipments and methods are periodically replaced with latest arrivals and methods, and the condemned equipments are used to explain the historical development. The spring type unconfined compression test was replaced with load frame technique .field density tests like sand replacement, core cutter method also enriched in this laboratory.
Concrete and Highway Lab
The various Equipment available in the laboratory are Aggregate Impact , Bitumen Penetration testing machine, Dorry’s Abrasion Testing, Marshall Stability Apparatus, Ring and Ball , Fire and flash point, Los Angles Abrasion testing machine, Deval’s Attrition and Ductility. The various materials test can be carried out to find the properties of aggregate and bitumen.
Advanced Structural Engineering Lab
This lab is unique of its kind, because, it houses testing facilities for structural members. Dynamic studies can be done with the help of Electro dynamic vibration system (100 Kgf) with PC based controller.
The loading frames with 100T capacity are provided in the laboratory for conducting model study on Structural elements. The digital displacement indicator, proving rings, data logger, dial gauges , electrical strain gauges and linear variable displacement transducers are available to study failure characteristics of models.
CADD Lab
The computer laboratory has an area of 70.17 sq.m to provide knowledge on the computer based analysis, design & drafting to the students and to carry out research. The computational laboratory well equipped with all advanced facilities including 50+ (1 server) computers and latest software like AUTOCAD 2010, STAADPRO V8i. We have the following softwares which are beyond to syllabus PRIMAVERA Ver-5, STRAP Ver-12.5, Revit 16” etc.
