APPLIED MECHANICS

Laboratories

Soil Mechanics & Foundation Engineering Lab

  • The Soil Mechanics Laboratory enables students to study the physical properties of soil by preparing the samples and performing Atterberg's Limits, compaction, consolidation, permeability, unconfined compression, and direct shear tests. This experience helps them to appreciate the complexity of soil as a material. They also learn about the precautions to be observed and the limitations of the results associated with various types of soils and with different tests. The testing procedures conform to IS standards. This laboratory is also used by the graduate students to perform basic soil tests.
  • The Foundation Engineering Laboratory is concern with the application of soil mechanics to the analysis, design, and construction of foundations for structures. The instrument is used for Soil exploration, sampling, and in-situ testing techniques, Stress distribution and settlement of structures and bearing capacities of shallow foundations. 


Computer Lab

  • Computer lab is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of residential, commercial & industrial structure planning and layout. Civil Engineering  software is used to increase the productivity of the designer, improve the quality of design, improve communications through documentation, and to create a database for manufacturing or Detail study about the building drawing and survey work like designing Highway, Canal And structure.


Engineering Mechanics Lab

  • This lab deals with basic application and verification of various laws of forces like Law of Parallelogram of Forces, Polygon Law of Forces, Support Reactions of a Simply Supported Beam, laws of friction. Overall aim is to provide an opportunity to students for verification of theoretical concepts of statics and Engineering Mechanics for in depth understanding of fundamentals about the subject matter.


Earthquake Engineering Lab

  • Earthquake is identified as one of the manmade disaster not environmental disaster. Earthquake engineering is that field of civil engineering which deals into the design of earthquake resistance design and structure. For Civil Engineering Student, understanding of earthquake is mandatory to construct modern infrastructure with best earthquake resistance features.


Concrete Technology Lab

  • The objective of concrete laboratory is to determine the physical properties of building construction resources like cement, fine and coarse aggregate, steel, and strength characteristics of cement mortar, plain cement concrete and reinforced cement concrete. The tests contain 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, bending strength on concrete, and non destructive test on concrete. The students will be able to suppose the fitness of these materials for construction. They can design the mix, make the specimens and experiment the same for the strength for comparison with design strength. This laboratory course will help the students to understand the theoretical concepts educated in the course building materials. 


Strength of Materials Lab

  • The objective of the strength of materials laboratory is to demonstrate the basic principles in the area of strength and mechanics of materials to the undergraduate students through a series of experiments. In materials science, the strength of a material is its ability to withstand an applied load without failure. The field of strength of materials deals with forces and deformations that result from their acting on a material. Strength of material is a subject which deals with the behavior of solid objects subject to stresses and strains. Basic Fundamentals of All the basic practices of Strength of materials are performed in this laboratory.
