The main objective of this laboratory is to determine and measure the characteristics of materials which are used in Civil Engineering construction, starting from aggregates to steel, wood, bricks etc. This laboratory is well equipped with the equipment’s like compression testing machine, flexural testing machine, abrasion testing machine and sieve shakers. Along with the major equipment’s, few minor apparatus also well placed in laboratory to determine various types of tests on fine aggregates and coarse aggregates. This laboratory will fetch to conduct basic material testing as per the IS standards. The annual calibration and service of the laboratory equipment’s helps to get accurate results which can be used for the research purposes.

Environmental engineering laboratory in department of civil engineering has adequate facilities and equipment’s to conduct practical classes for students of civil engineering and to carry out research activities. Laboratory is well equipped with BOD Incubator, jar test apparatus, Nephelo Turbidity meter, flame photometer, COD apparatus and spectrophotometer to analyze water and domestic wastewater for different parameters of physical, chemical and biological characteristics.

The laboratory is used in testing of soils, its physical, index and engineering properties. The lab is used for both academic and research purposes. The lab is comprised of all the major equipments like Pycnometers, Hydrometer Analysis, Relative Density Apparatus, Indian Standard Light and Heavy Compaction Apparatus, Field Density Apparatus, Standard Penetration Test Kit, CBR Testing Machine, Permeability Test Setup, Unconfined Compression Test Equipment, Direst Sear Test Equipment, Triaxial Test Equipment, Vane Shear Test Equipment (Small), Free Swell Test Equipment, Consolidation Test Equipment( Single Cell) which can be used to determine the most of soil properties both in filed and laboratory.

Survey lab is equipped with conventional and sophisticated instruments for 2D and 3D mapping. This lab consists of instruments like Chain, Compass, plane tables, Theodolites, Dumpy levels for basic surveying and Total Station, Hand held GPS for advanced surveying. Survey lab is useful for UG students in their regular practical courses, projects, and extensive survey projects. Calibration and service of equipment is carried out annually for accuracy and precision in measurements.

This lab is equipped with standard equipments to perform tests on materials used for construction of flexible as well as rigid pavements. All the IS standard tests/MORTH standards required on the aggregates for construction of roads like abrasion, impact, crushing value, flakiness and elongation index can be conducted in this laboratory. Tests on the binder which includes softening point, viscosity, flash and fire point, penetration index and ductility can be conducted as per the standard methods. Finally, Hot mix asphalt mixing, compaction and testing as per the standards can be conducted. All these experiments can be conducted for both academic as well as research purposes.

The primary purpose of the Concrete Laboratory is to conduct research to develop a better, more durable, cost-effective and sustainable concrete infrastructure by Investigating and studying the behavior of concrete materials using loading frame and UTM used for Civil Engineering structures. Assessing and improving durability aspects of concrete. Developing and evaluating new test methods or enhance existing testing procedures as per the relevant IS codes. For potential Collaboration with academia and industry in advancing new emerging technologies.

The following software’s are available in CAD Laboratory: AutoCAD, NISA-CIVIL, ETABS, Autoplotter, STAAD PRO, ANSYS. Students of 5th semester practice building drawing using Auto CAD and analysis of structures using STAAD PRO. After survey camp 6th semester BTech Civil Engineering students prepare maps using Autoplotter. Final year BTech students perform analysis using ETABS and do projects based on it. The students also performs finite element analysis using ANSYS.

It is a state of the art facility capable of testing 2D and 3D scaled models for dynamic loading. The equipment has a shake table capable of producing vibrations in X, Y and Z axis one at a time.It also consists of an advanced digital logical unit and data acquisition system with high precision accelerometers. Electro dynamic shake tables are capable of producing vibration of very high frequency as compared to mechanical and servo shake tables. The data acquired are of very high precision.
