The Civil Engineering Department features world-class laboratories supporting advanced research in areas such as structural engineering, geotechnical analysis, and environmental sustainability. Equipped with cutting-edge tools, these facilities empower students and researchers to engage in precise, hands-on experimentation. Our labs are integral to fostering innovation and excellence and ensuring a globally competitive educational experience.
The Surveying Laboratory offers students practical, hands-on experience to complement their coursework in surveying. Through a series of experiments, students will learn to determine distances using chain and tape, measure reduced levels and contours with leveling instruments, assess bearings with a compass, and calculate horizontal and vertical angles using a theodolite, along with graphical methods employing a plane table. Additionally, students will be introduced to modern equipment such as total stations.
The Larsen & Toubro CADD Laboratory, named in honor of the founders of the renowned construction giant L&T, provides students with cutting-edge training in the latest civil engineering software. The lab features industry-standard tools such as AutoCAD, Staad.Pro, Revit Architecture, and Revit Structure. Students learn to create detailed architectural drawings and structural plans using AutoCAD 2D, while AutoCAD 3D enhances their skills in producing three-dimensional, rendered views. Staad.Pro enables the analysis of multistoried structures under various load conditions, allowing for design and detailing in accordance with different codes. Additionally, Revit Architecture and Revit Structure offer advanced capabilities in 3D modeling and walkthroughs of architectural and structural elements. Value-added programs in these software tools are also conducted regularly.
The Strength of Materials Laboratory demonstrates the fundamental principles of material strength, mechanics, and structural analysis. It offers comprehensive insights into material properties such as strength, stress, hardness, and modulus of rigidity. The laboratory is outfitted with essential equipment, including a Universal Testing Machine, Torsion Testing Machine, and Brinell Hardness Tester, providing students with hands-on experience in evaluating and analyzing material performance.
The Fluid Mechanics and Machinery Laboratory is designed to analyze various parameters related to fluid flow in pipes and open channels, as well as to study the performance characteristics of pumps and turbines. Experiments in the lab include determining friction factors, minor loss coefficients, and discharge coefficients for constriction meters, orifices, mouthpieces, notches, and weirs. Additionally, students investigate flow profiles, hydraulic jumps, and the characteristics of pumps and turbines, along with the verification of the momentum theorem. This laboratory course bridges theoretical concepts from fluid mechanics, open channel flow, and hydraulic machinery with practical, hands-on experience, enhancing students’ understanding of these key topics.
The Soil Mechanics Laboratory supports advanced research and development in geotechnics and soil mechanics, with a focus on both sophisticated laboratory and field testing techniques. It provides in-depth analysis of soil’s physical properties, such as specific gravity, moisture content, density, and consistency limits including liquid, plastic, and shrinkage limits. Engineering properties tested include permeability, consolidation, compressibility, shear strength, and bearing capacity. This hands-on experience enhances students’ ability to conduct soil tests under field conditions and interpret the results with precision.
The Concrete Highway Laboratory is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in testing various construction materials. The lab covers the assessment of materials such as cement, coarse aggregates, and bitumen. Students conduct tests to determine properties including specific gravity, fineness, normal consistency, setting times, workability, and soundness of cement; fineness modulus of aggregates; and strength of cement mortar, concrete, and bricks. Additional tests include tensile strength of steel rods, bending and flexural strength of concrete, bending tests on wood, and non-destructive testing of concrete. Bitumen properties are evaluated through tests for penetration, ductility, viscosity, softening point, and flash and fire points. These comprehensive testing procedures enable students to evaluate the suitability of materials for construction purposes.
The Environmental Engineering Lab is equipped with advanced instruments for characterizing water and wastewater quality. It features state-of-the-art equipment, including Gas Chromatography, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry, and Flame Photometry. The lab allows for the analysis of physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water and wastewater, including the detection of heavy metals and volatile organic compounds. Students also gain practical experience in implementing unit processes such as sedimentation, filtration, flocculation/coagulation, and disinfection for designing effective water and wastewater treatment systems.
