The department
houses 9 laboratories to conduct practical work prescribed in the syllabus.
They also serve as testing centers to test various engineering materials used
by the construction industry. This facility is extended to outside agencies
for revenue generation. Details of various labs in department are given
below. |

1. Structural lab :
This Houses 40 T capacity Universal Testing machine of Heico make. It
Contains number of structural models for demonstration to students. A 50 T
capacity loading frame is being set up indigenously. Prof. S.K.Dubey is
incharge of the lab. |

2. Geotechnical
lab: It has equipments required for testing of soil; major ones are triaxial
test, direct shear test etc. Prof. S.V.Desale is incharge of lab. |
|
3. Applied
Mechanics lab: This is used for conducting experiments in the field of
Engineering Mechanics by all students of the institute in their first year as
part of syllabus. Prof. S.B.Sharma is lab incharge. |

4. Highway Material
Testing lab: In this lab various materials like cement, sand, timber, bitumen
etc required in construction of roads & buildings can be tested, using
machines like Abrasion testing, impact testing, tile testing, bitumen testing
machines. It also has concrete cube testing machine. Prof. S.S.Bachhav looks
after the lab as incharge. |
