Construction Materials Laboratory
The Construction Materials Laboratory is established to train students to carry out tests on common construction materials such as concrete, steel, wood, and masonry. The tests are conducted to determine the engineering properties in terms of strength, strain, fatigue, creep, elasticity, stiffness durability, and workability. Pre/Co-requisite: CIVE 221.
Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory
The lab is meant to consolidate the course CIVE 230. Experiments will include: water content, organic content, specific gravity, grain size analysis, hydraulic conductivity (permeability), consolidation, direct shear, unconfined compression, triaxial shear. Pre/Co-requisite: CIVE 230.
Fluid Mechanics Laboratory
This laboratory covers different experiments that may include: measurement of flow rate, Bernoulli’s theorem, center of pressure, floatation characteristics, centrifugal pumps, cavitations in centrifugal pumps, characteristics of two pumps in series, pipe friction losses, friction in bends and fittings, momentum of flow, Pelton turbine, hydraulic Ram Pump, free and forced vortices. Pre/Co-requisite: CIVE 241.
Structural Analysis Laboratory
This computer laboratory is designed to enhance student understanding of theoretical structural analysis concepts by the use of computer simulations and commercially available software packages. This laboratory covers modeling structures with geometric and material properties, application of the loads, interpretation of analysis results, internal forces and deformations, load combinations and design forces. Pre/Co-requisite: CIVE 250.
Surveying and GPS Laboratory
In the Surveying Laboratory, students learn how to conduct distance measurements, transits and theodolites, vertical control, directions, angular measurement, topographic surveys, area and volume of earthworks, curve setting out, planimetric adjustment, GPS observable; basic principles of GPS operations; GPS error analysis; field procedures; data collection, processing; applications. Pre/Co-requisite: CIVE 265.
Transportation Engineering Laboratory
Highway Engineering Laboratory
