Infrastructure & Facilities
The Department of Civil Engineering is supported by a strong infrastructure of well-equipped laboratories, modern classrooms with multimedia projectors, a department library and dedicated drawing and design halls. The facilities cover the full breadth of the Civil Engineering curriculum — from materials testing and surveying to environmental, transportation, geotechnical and structural studies — and support both academic instruction and student project work.
Concrete & Highway Materials Laboratory
Equipped to test the physical and mechanical properties of concrete, cement, aggregates and bituminous mixes. Major facilities include a Compression Testing Machine, Universal Testing Machine (UTM), Marshall stability apparatus, Los Angeles abrasion machine, Vicat & Le-Chatelier apparatus, slump cone, vibrating tables, and aggregate impact / crushing test rigs used in CBT and CBCS lab courses.
Strength of Materials & Structures Laboratory
Used for experimental study of stress, strain, deflection and torsion behaviour of structural members. Equipment includes Universal Testing Machine, Torsion testing machine, Brinell & Rockwell hardness testers, Izod / Charpy impact testers, spring testing machine and deflection beam apparatus.
Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory
Supports experimental investigation of soil properties for foundation and earthwork design. Equipment includes consolidation apparatus, direct shear and triaxial shear test setups, CBR test apparatus, permeameters, sieve shakers, hydrometers, standard & modified Proctor compaction setups and field density (core cutter / sand replacement) kits.
Environmental Engineering Laboratory
Facilitates physical, chemical and biological analysis of water and wastewater samples. Equipment includes turbidity meter, pH and conductivity meters, BOD incubator, COD digester, jar test apparatus, UV-Visible spectrophotometer, and Jackson turbidity tubes used in water-quality and wastewater-treatment experiments.
Surveying & GIS Laboratory
Equipped for plane and modern surveying practice — Total Stations, Auto Levels, Dumpy Levels, Theodolites, Plane Tables, prismatic compasses, chains, tapes and GPS receivers. Computer-aided drafting and GIS work is supported by licensed copies of AutoCAD Civil and open-source QGIS for digital mapping and terrain analysis.
Computer-Aided Analysis & Design Laboratory
A networked computer lab used for structural analysis, design and drafting courses. Workstations are loaded with AutoCAD, STAAD.Pro, ETABS, SAP2000, Revit Structure and Primavera P6 to support practical sessions on structural modelling, reinforced-concrete & steel design, building information modelling and construction project planning.
Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulics Laboratory
Houses apparatus for flow measurement and hydraulic experimentation, including Venturimeter and Orifice meter setups, hydraulic ram, Bernoulli's apparatus, notches & weirs, pipe friction test rigs, centrifugal & reciprocating pump test rigs, Pelton & Francis turbine test rigs and an open-channel flume.
Department Library
The department library houses a curated collection of textbooks, reference books, IS / IRC codes, conference proceedings, journals and project reports across structural, geotechnical, environmental, transportation and water-resources engineering. Final-year project reports and lab manuals are available for student reference.
