Earthquake engineering laboratory incorporates demonstration of major seismic testing methodologies and engages in basics and applied researches that resolve critical seismic engineering problems. The vision of the laboratory is to build interdisciplinary knowledge and expertise to develop innovative strategies for increasing the safety and reliability of civil engineering structures which are subjected to earthquake loading. The laboratory mainly focuses on structural dynamics, evaluation of seismic performance of civil engineering structures, earthquake resistant design strategies and vibration assessment of structures. With state-of-the-art testing equipment, computing and data acquisition facilities, the lab is equipped to conduct pseudo-static to dynamic scale model testing.
The material testing laboratory is designed to develop new and innovative construction materials indigenously. The laboratory has also been involved in testing of special structures and retrofitted structures. The laboratory is equipped to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of construction materials such as fresh and hardened concrete, Cement, Aggregates, Bricks, A.A.C. Blocks etc. It is involved in the research facilities for special concrete such as geopolymer concrete, self healing concrete, self compacting concrete, high performance concrete, marine concrete etc. The laboratory also provides the platform for consultancy assignments and testing related to different materials.
Engineering Geology Laboratory helps in determining the engineering behavior of geomaterials (soils and rocks). There are various physical, chemical and geotechnical properties defined in the Laboratory that are needed for identifying the geo-materials. It helps in predicting the behavior of Earth systems and the universe, finding adequate supplies of natural resources, such as ground water, petroleum, and metals and conserving soils and maintaining agricultural productivity. In addition, geotechnical engineer uses this knowledge for designing the type of foundations, earthworks such as dams, embankments, tunnels, reservoirs, pavement subgrades, and specialised applications like waste containment systems.
