LABSConcrete Technology Lab
The objective of concrete laboratory is to determine the physical properties of building construction materials like cement, fine and coarse aggregate, steel, wood, and strength characteristics of cement mortar, plain cement concrete and reinforced cement concrete. The tests include determination of specific gravity, fineness, normal consistency, setting times, workability and soundness of cement, fineness modulus of fine and coarse aggregate, strength of cement mortar, cement concrete and bricks, tensile test on steel rods, bending and flexural strength on concrete, bending test on wood, and non destructive test on concrete. The students infer the suitability of these materials for construction. They can design the mix, make the specimens and test the same for strength for comparison with design strength. This laboratory course helps the students understand the theoretical concepts learned in the course building materials.
Transportation Engineering LabThe objective of Transportation Engg. laboratory is to determine some of the properties of coarse aggregates and bitumen. Experiments include tests for impact, abrasion, attrition test and crushing strength for coarse aggregate and tests for penetration, ductility, viscosity, softening point and flash and fire point for bitumen. The students infer the suitability of these materials for construction of road. This laboratory course helps the students to understand the theoretical concepts learned in the course transportation engineering.
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering LabThe objective of Soil mechanics and Geotechnology laboratory is to determine the physical and engineering properties of soil which are required for suitable design of foundations for any structure. Physical properties include specific gravity, moisture content, density and consistency limits namely, liquid, plastic and shrinkage limits of soil. The engineering properties include permeability, consolidation, compressibility, shear strength and bearing capacity of soil. By evaluating the properties of soil in the laboratory, students relate the concepts studied in the relevant theory course. Also students utilize the knowledge of both theory and practical in the field application to real problems. In this laboratory both laboratory and in-situ experiments can be conducted. This laboratory course helps the students understand the theoretical concepts learned in the course Geotechnical Engineering.
Surveying LabThe objective of this laboratory is to learn about measurement of distances, angles, reduced levels and setting out works. The experiments include determination of distances using chain and tape, reduced levels and contours using level, bearing of lines using compass, horizontal and vertical angles using theodolite and graphical method using plane table. Use of modern equipment like total station is demonstrated. This laboratory course helps students understand the theoretical concepts learned in the course surveying.
Water and Waste Water Engineering LabThe objective of this laboratory is to determine the qualities of water and waste water, quality of air and noise characteristics. The experiments include the determination of pH, turbidity, conductivity, and impurities in water and BOD, DO and COD of waste water and pollution level of air and noise. The highlight of this laboratory is the spectrophotometer and high volume sampler. This laboratory course helps students understand the theoretical concepts learned in the course environmental engineering.
Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machines LabThe objective of this laboratory is to determine the various parameters related to fluid flow in pipes and in open channels and to study the characteristics of pumps and turbines. The experiments include determination of friction factor, minor loss coefficients, coefficient of discharge of constriction meters, orifices, mouth pieces, notches and weirs, characteristics of flow profiles and hydraulic jump, characteristics of pumps and turbines, and verification of momentum theorem. This laboratory course helps students understand the theoretical concepts learned in the courses fluid mechanics and open channel flow and hydraulic machinery.
Structure Mechanics LabThe objective of structural analysis laboratory is to determine the forces, stresses, deflections and behavior of various structural members like beams, columns, arches, trusses and frames when subjected to different types of loadings. This laboratory course helps students understand the theoretical concepts learned in the courses solid mechanics and structural Mechanics.
