Surveying Lab

Surveying Laboratory

Surveying is the means of determining the relative position of points and the relative distances. It is an integral part of Civil Engineering education and training. Surveying of an area is essential for the design of all civil engineering projects such as highways, bridges, railways, water supply, sewage disposal, reservoirs and dams, building constructions, transmission tower, irrigation canal etc. The objectives of surveying may vary depending on the type of projects and requirements. The economic feasibility of the engineering projects cannot be properly ascertained without undertaking a survey work.

Lab Objectives

To determine the relative position of any objects or points of the earth.
To determine the distance and angle between different objects.
To prepare a map or plan to represent an area on a horizontal plan.
To develop methods through the knowledge of modern science and the technology and use them in the field.
To solve measurement problems in an optimal way.

The Surveying Laboratory is equipped with the following instruments/equipment

Total Station
Auto/Digital level
Vernier Theodolite
Prismatic Compass
Plane Table
Telescopic staff
Tripod, Alidade, Plumbing Fork, Spirit level, Trough Compass, U -Frame
Line Ranger, Optical square/Cross staff

Geotechnical Engg. Lab

Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory

The Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory intends to train the students in the field of testing of soils to determine their physical, index and engineering properties. The main objectives of the Geotechnical Engineering laboratory is to carry out all soil mechanics fundamental experiments according to standards, analyse them and interpret experimental data. This lab helps the students to understand the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practices. Moreover this lab will empower the students in the planning and execution of infrastructural and developmental activities.

List of experiments:

Determination of water content of given soil sample by oven drying method as per IS code
Determination of bulk unit weight dry unit weight of soil in field core cutter method as per IS Code
Determination of bulk unit weight dry unit weight of soil field by sand replacement method as per IS Code
Determination of Liquid limit & Plastic limit of given soil sample as per IS Code
Determination of grain size distribution of given soil sample by mechanical sieve analysis as per IS Code
Determination of coefficient of permeability by constant head test
Determination of MDD & OMC by standard proctor test on given soil sample as per IS Code.

Building Materials Lab

Building Materials Laboratory

This laboratory is meant to supplement the students’ understanding of the basic properties of building materials. The laboratory is well equipped to cater the academic and research requirements. It offers facilities for testing building materials, their strength, behavior and suitability for various applications in construction work. This lab helps students to be familiar with various test procedures and its significance on building materials such as coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, bricks, cement, steel etc. It facilitates learning of various properties of building material such as toughness, hardness, compressive strength, tensile strength, etc. Students will have exposure to practical applications including writing of a technical report related to each experiment. Thus, a hands-on exposure to these tests helps the students with better confidence and assessment skills.
