Civil Engineering Department

The Engineering Mechanics Laboratory is designed to provide hands-on experience and practical understanding of fundamental principles in mechanics. It allowsconducting experiments to analyse forces, moments, and equilibrium conditions on structures and mechanicalsystems.

The Material & Structures Laboratory focuses on experimentation and analysis of materials’ mechanical properties and behaviour under different loading conditions. Its basic functions include: Conducting experiments to determine material properties such as tensile strength, compressive strength, shear strength, and torsional strength.

A Concrete Technology Laboratory has a facility equipped for testing the properties of concrete, the raw materials used to make concrete. The primary purpose of this lab is to study the properties, behaviour, and performance of concrete, which is a fundamental material used in construction worldwide.

The laboratory is equipped with a variety of surveying instruments and tools essential for accurate measurement and mapping of land features. This includes theodolites, total stations, levels and other ancillary equipment like tripods, rods and staff.

A Soil Mechanics Laboratory is a facility equipped for testing the properties of soil, which is essential for the safe design of foundations, slopes, retaining walls, and other civil engineering structures.

The Hydraulics laboratory is equipped with various experimental setups including venturi meter, channels, pipes, pumps, and measuring devices such as flow meters and pressure gauges.

The Public Health Engineering laboratoryis equipped with various experimental setups for testing water quality.
