The environmental Engineering laboratories in the department of civil engineering at Sree Buddha College of Engineering provides excellent research facilities with well equipped with the latest analytical and specialised experimental equipment
Civil engineering students need vast training in surveying. The Surveying laboratory is fully equipped with modern surveying instruments and traditional instruments. This lab offers supplemental experience in fundamental land surveying to civil engineering students.
Materials testing laboratory is a well-established technique used to determine the physical and mechanical properties of raw materials such a steel, timber, brass, aluminium, mild steel rods etc., Civil engineering testing equipment is used in the quality control processes associated with the analysis of these materials. When it comes to quality control, manufacturers often use material testing to find the cause of stains, contaminations or product failures that can lead to quality and safety issues
The lab mainly caters to the needs of the undergraduate students AND post graduate students to conduct the experiments related to concrete and other construction materials such as tiles, cement, aggregates. The quality of construction materials including raw materials for making concrete and testing and evaluation of finished building materials such as concrete blocks, flooring tiles, paving blocks are undertaken by the lab for external agencies.
The Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory is spearheaded by a highly competent, dedicated, well qualified and experienced faculty. The laboratory has facilities for conducting practical classes for undergraduate programmes. The lab is well-equipped with testing equipment for evaluating all engineering properties of soils and rocks, including index properties, compaction characteristics of soils, permeability, compressibility, rate of consolidation and shear strength. The equipment ranges from the most fundamental to the most sophisticated
CIVIL ENGINEERING SOFTWARE LABORATORY
AutoCAD lab provides the following facilities – Exposure to different categories of building, Functional requirements of buildings, Preparation of 2D drawing, Preparation of 3D drawings, Application of CAD to Civil Engineering Drawing. Major equipment used are – 30 systems (8GB RAM) supporting AutoCAD, Primavera, Etabs, Staad.Pro, Ansys.
CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKSHOP
Civil engineering workshop empower the students to get practical knowledge of various concepts introduced in first year engineering studies. The course includes experiments like area & volume calculation of building and other component parts of building, brick masonry works and basic surveying using levelling instruments.
