Surveying Lab

The objective of surveying laboratory is to make student familiar and competent enough to draw map in suitable scale by using different surveying instruments like total station, theodolite, auto level, global positioning system (GPS), geographical information system (GIS), electromagnetic distance measurement (EDM), plane table, compass, etc. Students learn to survey from conventional as well as contemporary methods and technology. Our Surveying labs provide students with hands-on experience using common surveying equipment.

Fluid Mechanics Lab

The objective of this laboratory is to determine the various parameters related to fluid flow in pipes and in open channels. At present it is equipped with hydraulic benches & various stand-alone equipment to carry out experiments like determination of metacentric height of a floating vessel, verification of the Bernoulli’s energy equation, study of transition from laminar to turbulent flow, determination of velocity profile for pipeline flow, determination of coefficient of discharge for obstruction flow meter(venturimeter/orifice meter), determination of discharge coefficient for various notches, determination of hydraulic coefficients for flow through an orifice.

Transportation Engineering Lab

The laboratory of transportation engineering in the civil department is well equipped with all the required instruments and equipment that are helpful in the overall understanding and practical knowledge of a student. We have all the instruments such as Marshall Stability, and we are proud that we are one of the very few colleges that provide this facility. Apart from this we also have enough other instruments such as CBR, Los angles abrasion instrument, 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 complete understanding of the subject.

Theory of Structures Lab

The Structural Engineering Laboratory at Oriental college of Technology, Bhopal serves a wide spectrum of activities covering those related to teaching, research, development, and consultancy. The primary activities include experimental studies on model/prototype of structural elements and assemblies under various static and dynamic loading conditions.

With the available test area, state-of-the-art load/displacement-controlled equipment for load application, precision instrumentation, , the laboratory represents a unique facility for large and full scale investigation of the load-deformation behaviour of structures including their post-peak strength and deformability up to the failure.
