Construction Materials Laboratory
Objectives
To facilitate the understanding of the behavior of construction materials.
Outcomes
The students will have the required knowledge in the area of testing of construction materials and components of construction elements experimentally.
Strength of materials laboratory
Objectives
To expose the students to the testing of different materials under the action of various forces and determination of their characteristics experimentally
Outcomes
The students will have the required knowledge in the area of testing of materials and components of structural elements experimentally. Strength of Materials Laboratory: is well equipped with destructive testing machineries. This lab course is offered in the second year for the students from various departments in the school of Civil Engineering. Students will be able to understand the theoretical concepts of solid mechanics course and enable them to apply it practically in this laboratory.
Survey Lab
Objectives
At the end of the course the student will posses knowledge about Survey field techniques
Outcomes
Students completing this course would have acquired practical knowledge on handling basic survey instruments including Theodolite, Tacheometry, Total Station and GPS and have adequate knowledge to carryout Triangulation and Astronomical surveying including general field marking for various engineering projects and Location of site etc.
Soil Mechanics Laboratory
Objectives
To develop skills to test the soils for their index and engineering properties and to characterise the soil based on their properties.
Outcomes
Students are able to conduct tests to determine both the index and engineering properties of soils and to characterize the soil based on their properties This Laboratory is designed to obtain the basic knowledge about the soil under loading and unloading conditions occurred during the construction of structure at site. This laboratory helps the students to understand the basic and engineering properties of soils such as Specific gravity, Atterberg’s limit, Compaction, Consolidation, Permeability and Shear strength of soils.
Concrete & Highway Materials Laboratory
Objectives
To learn the principles and procedures of testing of highway materials
Outcomes
Student knows the techniques to characterize various pavement materials through relevant tests.
Computer Aided Drafting of Buildings Laboratory
Objectives
To introduce the students to draft the plan, elevation and sectional views of buildings in accordance with development and control rules satisfying orientation and functional requirements as per National Building Code.
Outcomes
The students will be able to draft the plan, elevation and sectional views of the buildings, industrial structures, and framed buildings using computer softwares. AutoCAD is a 2-D and 3-D computer-aided drafting software application used in architecture, construction, and manufacturing to assist in the preparation of blueprints and other engineering plans. Students can draw up plans for residential and commercial buildings and also draw up plans for use in the design and building of roadways, bridges, sewer systems, and other major projects.
Water and Waste water Laboratory
Objectives
Outcomes
On the completion of the course, the students will be able to Quantify the pollutant concentration in water and wastewater Suggest the type of treatment required and amount of dosage required for the treatment
Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Machinery Laboratory
Objectives
Students should be able to verify the principles studied in theory by performing the experiments in lab.
Outcomes
It is an introductory course where flow behaviour, fluid forces and analysis tools are introduced. The goals of the experiments include demonstration of the continuity and energy equations. The lab experiments utilize U-tube manometer data acquisition where students will learn the working principle and laws guiding the fluid in the manometer. The other important part of the lab is learning about hydraulic machines where students will practically see the importance of hydraulic machinery. The lab runs closely with the lectures in such a way that experiments support the text covered in the class room.
