USAGE OF LABORATORY Research work and Consultancy

Structural engineering laboratory has three bays for large scale structural testing, a casting

yard, and facilities for fabrication of specimens. The first bay has a structural testing strong

floor with loading frame capacity of 2000 kN. There are testing machines with capacities

up to 2000 kN in compression and flexural testing. The second bay has servo controlled

digital shake table, equipment’s for testing vibrations in beams and digital servo controlled

universal testing machine with 1000 kN capacity. Third bay consists of casting yard with

facilities for mixing, vibrating and curing. The department research and consultancy center

use the facility for research and extending the services to various government, semi

government and private agencies.

Project works

The students of both undergraduate and post graduate use the modern facility for their

project work and innovation.
