GEOTECHNICAL LAB

Geotechnical engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering that analyzes the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of “earth materials” (i.e. Soil, sub-soils, and rock). Based on this analysis, geotechnical engineers determine the safest, longest-lasting, and, hopefully, most environmentally equitable foundational designs. In the Civil Engineering department, Geotechnical engineering Laboratory was established in the year of 2014. The laboratory is equipped with all modern machinery. Here the student’s theoretical knowledge is reinforced with practical problems. By performing all the experiments students will able to get the knowledge regarding Summary of all subsurface exploration data, including subsurface soil profile, exploration logs, laboratory or in situ test results, and groundwater information and Interpretation and analysis of the subsurface data and Specific engineering recommendations for design, Discussion of conditions for the solution of anticipated problems; and Recommended geotechnical special provisions.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING LAB

Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to protect and utilize natural resources, control environmental pollution, improve environmental quality to enable healthy ecosystems and comfortable habitation of humans. It is based on multiple disciplines including geology, hydrology, biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, engineering, management, economics, law, etc. Environmental engineering involves water supply, pollution control, recycling, waste (solid and liquid) disposal, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, environmental sustainability, and public health. The lab mainly deals with the determination of physio-chemical and bacteriological properties of water. This will also aid to determine optimum dosing for common physiochemical treatments. The lab contains relevant fundamental chemistry and biology concepts/theories and their applications in environmental engineering. The key tests include Physical, chemical, and bacteriological tests of water and wastewater. Sampling and laboratory analysis of air and solid waste are also discussed in this lab.

FUILD MECHANICS LABORATORY

This lab helps to carry out the Laboratory tests on the different properties of Fluid in static and as well as the dynamic conditions and also investigate the flows through pipes and various channels, Losses of flow, Efficiency of Turbine, etc. The laboratories cater to the needs of students in the subject of fluid mechanics and fluid machines. It strengthens and broadens the students' knowledge of incompressible fluid mechanics.

To provide hands-on experience with flows that are more complex, nonlinear, or unsteady than are typically studied in a lecture course. The laboratory is equipped with a large number of equipment and experimental setups to study the fundamentals and applied aspects of fluid mechanics and fluid machines.

ENGINEERING GEOLOGY LAB

Engineering geology studies may be performed during the planning, environmental impact analysis, civil or structural engineering design, value engineering and construction phases of public and private works projects, and during post-construction and forensic phases of projects. Works completed by engineering geologists include; geological hazard assessments, geotechnical, material properties, landslide and slope stability, erosion, flooding, dewatering, and seismic investigations, etc.

Engineering geology studies are performed by a geologist or engineering geologist that is educated, trained and has obtained experience related to the recognition and interpretation of natural processes, the understanding of how these processes impact human-made structures (and vice versa), and knowledge of methods by which to mitigate against hazards resulting from adverse natural or human-made conditions. The principal objective of the engineering geologist is the protection of life and property against damage caused by various geological conditions.

CAD LAB

CAD Lab of this department was established for the concept to study the detailed working drawings of structures. This lab is to primarily facilitate students to evolve concepts and convert it into a complete product. The department covers CAD and STAAD-PRO (Structure analysis and design software) which benefits the students to study the design and detailing of structures and their components.

The lab is well equipped with computers and the required software. Students study scale factors, sections of drawing, planning of residential buildings and it’s detailing of structural components such as staircase, beams, columns, slab, retaining walls, water tank, etc. which make our students well versed to prepare detailed working drawings and also inculcate managerial skills also.

SURVEY LAB

The main objective of this study is to help students in gaining practical experience by exposing them to various techniques of field surveying. The students will have an understanding of the concepts involved in the preparation of layouts, plans, maps, etc. At this juncture, the present course on Surveying Lab -plays a vital role in enhancing the knowledge of an aspiring civil engineer. This lab course comprises several experiments that are intended to make the students understand and gain familiarity with the latest surveying techniques.

The study consists of Principles of Survey, Theodolite Survey, Tacheometric Survey, Setting Out Works, and Total Station Survey. At the end of this course, a student should be able to appreciate the role of the surveyor in the civil engineering industry: to plan and execute a topographical survey for engineering development; plan, design and set out engineering works; manage, organize and execute a given task to meet specifications within a strict deadline; work in groups.

CONCRETE & HIGHWAY MATERIALS LABORATORY

The objective of a concrete laboratory is to determine the physical properties of building construction materials like cement, fine, and coarse aggregate. The tests include determination of specific gravity, fineness, normal consistency, setting times, workability and soundness of cement, fineness modulus of fine and coarse aggregate, the strength of cement mortar, cement concrete. Students can design the mix, make the specimens and test the same for their respective strengths and will also be able to infer the suitability of bitumen materials for construction of the road.

SURVEY CAMP

Department of Civil Engineering conducts Survey Camp every year for the students of Civil Engineering. And every year student participates successfully as it is the compulsory part of the University academic curriculum for 4th semester.

This camp was aimed to groom civil engineering students with essential knowledge and exposure to real work, and to encourage leadership and teamwork skills. This survey camp resulted in encouraging and supporting students, emerging as leaders in several areas of academic provision. Students were divided into groups and monitored by the faculty coordinator. In the camp, all the students learn all the technical aspect which is required in Surveying.

In this study, the performance of two soils viz., Black Cotton Soil (BCS) and Red Soil (RS) in retaining the heavy metals such as Pb(II),Ni(II) and Cd(II) have been projected. Nano Calcium Silicate (NCS) was synthesized via solution combustion method by combining Ca(NO₃)₂ with fused SiO₂ using citric acid as fuel the resulting in bright white crystalline powdered was characterized by using EDEX, FTIR, SEM, TEM and XRD techniques. Further the NCS X-ray diffraction patterns of Nano particle were indexed to and gave monoclinic structure. SEM images show that the particles are agglomerated to form sponge like structure and the average crystallite sizes were found to be ~10–20 nm. Batch adsorption Equilibrium test and kinetic studies were conducted. The experimental data obtained were applied to empirical adsorption models like Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms and the sorption capacity was calculated. The time dependent kinetic studies were also conducted and sorption kinetics was modelled by the pseudo 1^st-order, pseudo 2^nd-order rate equation, Elovich and intra-particle diffusion equations. It was concluded that the ranking of sorption for the given heavy metals were of the order Pb > Ni> Cd in both stabilized as well as stabilized with NCS soils and further it was concluded that the stabilized soils showed appropriate higher retaining capacity than virgin soils and further it was concluded that the ranking of adsorption capacity of both the stabilized and virgin soils were of the order BCS> RS.NCS can be used as a prospective soil amendment.
