Concrete and Soils Mechanics Laboratory

The Concrete and Soils Mechanics Laboratory has two main areas. The concrete laboratory area is equipped to undertake concrete mix designs and to test and anlayze the strength and behaviour of concrete under a variety of conditions, such as concrete compressive strengths. The soils mechanics laboratory area facilitates the investigation of soil properties, soil classification and the behaviour of soils under a variety of loading conditions, which is essential to the design of foundations and other civil engineering structures.
