Laboratories of Civil Engineering

Department of Civil engineering offers a four-year degree course leading to the Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering.

JKLU also offers Ph.D programme with a specialisation in water and environmental engineering. The course curriculum is designed to enhance the capability of civil engineers to make them aware of cutting edge technologies along with providing the foundation of traditional concepts. A strong foundation is laid through courses on Construction Technology, Structural Engineering and Steel Structures, Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Water and Hydraulics Engineering and Computer Application. Besides, students are offered a variety of electives like Project Management, Geomatics, Computer Simulation, Construction equipment, and methods. The theoretical courses are supplemented by imparting practical experience through well-equipped laboratories.

The Department actively promotes curriculum development activity by updating existing courses, developing new courses and preparing resource material for teaching. The Department has several ongoing research projects and sponsored research schemes from public and private sector organizations. It undertakes industrial consultancy works as a part of its interaction with industry and also organizes seminars/symposia for professional interaction. The Department contributes to the interdisciplinary academic and research activity of the Institute

Our goals are to prepare all students with a technical background anchored in the fundamental of civil engineering together with the breath of related knowledge needed to follow a diverse career path in civil engineering and also:

  • To provide a firm education in Mathematics, Science, and Engineering which underline all technological development so that our students will be well equipped to adapt to changing technology.
  • To establish elaborated laboratories conforming to the codes and also the best for research.
  • To provide the broad and fundamental technical base needed by students who plan for advanced study in a specialised area with the help of proper training and the guest lectures by the field specialist.

Infrastructure

Department is equipped with state of art labs where the theoretical courses are supplemented by imparting practical experience. The department has 8 major laboratories:

Surveying Lab

The planning and design of all Civil Engineering projects such as the construction of highways, bridges, tunnels, dams, etc are based upon surveying measurements. Moreover, during execution, the project of any magnitude is constructed along the lines and points established by surveying. Thus, surveying is a basic requirement for all Civil Engineering projects.

Our Surveying Lab is equipped with following experimental setup:

  • Metallic Chain
  • Ranging Rod
  • Tilting level
  • Auto level

Transportation Engineering Lab
The laboratory of transportation engineering in the civil department is well equipped with all the required instruments and equipments that are helpful in the overall understanding and practical knowledge of a student. Institute has facilities such as CBR, Los angles abrasion instrument, Aggregate Impact test; Buoyancy balance Specific Gravity, Water Absorption test and Bulk density test for Aggregate; Flakiness Index and Elongation Index Test, Ring and ball apparatus, Flash and fire point, Tar viscosity, etc. We believe in the fact that only bookish knowledge is not enough for the overall understanding of our students. So our pedagogy includes every measure that impacts practical knowledge and carries out all the tests required for a complete understanding of the subject.
Engineering Geology Lab
The laboratory of Engineering Geology in the Civil Department is well equipped with all the required sample minerals, ores, metals, non-metals, and maps, etc that are helpful in the overall understanding and practical knowledge of subjects to the students. Actually, Engineering geology is the application of the geologic sciences to engineering practice for the purpose of assuring that the geologic factors affecting the location, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of engineering works are recognised and adequately provided for. Engineering geologists investigate and provide geologic and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design associated with human development. The realm of the engineering geologist is essentially in the area of earth-structure interactions, or investigation of how the earth or earth processes impact human-made structures and human activities.
