Construction and Building Engineering laboratories offer an environment for physical demonstrations, hands-on work and research, as well as a classroom format for workshops and tutorials.
Construction Materials LAB (A001)
The Construction Materials Laboratory provides an appropriate environment for students to examine some basic properties of different construction materials such as aggregates, cement, concrete, masonry, wood, and steel reinforcement. Through various experiments, the physical and mechanical properties of different construction materials are examined thoroughly.
Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic LAB (A002)
The Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Laboratory provides an environment for students to examine fundamental concepts of hydraulic engineering. It provides undergraduate students with the necessary skills for performing appropriate laboratory experiments to determine the physical and engineering properties using modern tools. In addition, students get hands-on experience in analyzing tests results and preparing a technical hydraulics report.
Soil Mechanics LAB (A003)
The experimental tests of soil mechanics are a part of the Construction and Building Engineering program. The experimental work provides undergraduate students with the necessary skills for performing appropriate laboratory experiments on the soil samples to determine their physical and engineering properties using modern tools. Students also get hands-on experience analyzing test results and preparing a technical soil report.
Light Structural Mechanics LAB (A109)
Experimental tests taking place in the Light Structure Laboratory provide students with the necessary information to understand the theory of structure basics and the behavior of the structural elements using modern tools. The laboratory includes various devices for applying the required experimental tests such as shearing force and bending of beams, torsion of circular rods, buckling of columns, deflection of beams and lateral deformations of frames. Students are supplied with booklets showing the different experiment steps and the procedure for obtaining results.
