Construction Material Laboratory



A Civil engineering graduate has to deal with various materials useful for the construction of buildings, bridges, roads etc. Those materials are bricks, cement, wood, aggregates, concrete, bitumen etc. A civil engineer must have knowledge of physical properties of these materials. So, in Construction Material Laboratory, we are giving the knowledge of density, specific gravity, strength, ductility of various construction materials.

Further, it is very much important to have some idea of strength of concrete structures already constructed. The strength of concrete structures can be determined by various Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). In the construction material lab, various NDTs are included for the determination of strength of concrete, cracks, no and diameter of reinforcing bars.

The lab is in developing stage and following equipments/instruments/machines have been procured so far.
