Civil Engineering Laboratories
: Objective
Laboratory plays an extremely important role in civil
engineering education. The undergraduate courses are supplemented with an
extensive laboratory work in order to furnish the student with a sufficient
experimental experience in various fields of civil engineering through the use
of the most modern techniques of measurements, instrumentations and analysis.
.The department has a number of laboratories in the fields of Civil Engineering
:These include
Plane Surveying Laboratory-
Materials Laboratory-
Fluid Mechanics Laboratory-
Concrete Laboratory-
Soil Mechanics Laboratory-
