Transportation Engineering Laboratory
Transportation Engineering Laboratory
Civil Engineering
Overview
The Transportation Engineering Laboratory is dedicated to testing materials used in the construction and maintenance of highways, airports, and railways. Students learn to evaluate the properties of aggregates and bitumens, ensuring they meet the required standards for safe and durable infrastructure. The lab provides hands-on practices for essential testing on road materials.
Expected Outcomes
- Ability to perform abrasion, impact, and crushing tests on aggregates.
- Proficiency in bitumen testing methods like penetration, ductility, and softening point.
- Knowledge of Marshall stability test for bituminous mixes.
- Understanding of technical specifications for highway construction materials.
