DEPARTMENT LIBRARY
Department has forum library in which the outgoing students of 8th Semester as well as M-Tech students will donate a book to the department. At present, it has about more than 1000 books. It will be given to the students and research scholars for 15days with renewal. For this issue process, ledger has been maintained in the department.
Laboratories in Civil Engineering Department
The survey laboratory has instruments for conducting chain, compass,
plane table and leveling survey. The laboratory also has theodalite, tachometers and other modem instruments like digital
leveling instruments and total station instrument along with software and plotter.
The Soil Mechanics Laboratory which is now being called as Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory is well equipped with all required apparatus and machineries for testing the soil strength and characteristics as per IS specifications. The Laboratory is equipped with digital Triaxial testing apparatus, Direct shear apparatus, UCC test apparatus, consolidation test apparatus, etc. Under MODROB Scheme of AICTE this laboratory has received nine lakks grants for acquiring various field testing equipments suck as Plate load test apparatus, Static cone penetrometer, etc. The laboratory is doing good consultancy services in the field of Geotechnical Engineering.
The laboratory has equipment for conducting the tests on cement, cement mortar and concrete. Equipment for can′ying out tests on highway materials are Attrition test, Abarsion test, Sieve analysis etc. This lab is also equipped with Ductility apparatus for testing the Bituminous material. The laboratory is equipped with 200 tonne compression loading frame for testing structural components.
The environmental Engineering Laboratory has facilities to conduct the experiments as per the syllabi such as water and waste water testing for its physical, chemical, Biological characteristics. Advanced equipments such as Dual Ion analyser, Atomic Absorption Spectrophometer(AAS), Flame photometer, water analysis Kit, UV Spectrophotometer, Conductivity meter, Digital Photometer, DO Analyser meter and Gas Chromotograph etc.
Facilities such as Beggs Daformometer, Load Cells for conducting experiments on the behavior of structures, frames, trusses, beams and arches are available. Wire models are also available for model studies.
The laboratory has facilities for conducting experiments on flow measurement devices such as notches, weirs, sluices, siphons, orifices, mouth piece venturi meters, friction through pipes, Bernanllis, apparatus, Reynolds apparatus. The laboratory is also equipped with tilting flume with testing section 330x60 cm.

The Civil flgineerng department has good consultancy centre and actively involved in undertaking various types of workspertaining to soil and foundations, cement and concrete tests, steel and building materials, water quality tests and irrigation projects. The services of the consultancy centre are being catering to Private and Government departments.
The Engineering Geology is offered to Civil Engineering course in 111 and IV Semester. Geology has very wide application in the field of Civil Engineering. It contributes substantially towards the economy and stability of different Civil Engineering projects. Therefore, their stability and safety dpends on the competence of the situ rocks of the sites concerned. This subjects deals with the geotechnical study of the sites and location of major Engineering projects such as Dams, reservoirs, tunnels, roads, and bridges which are indispensable for achieving prosperity and seifreliance.
The Geology museum is well equipped with Minerals, Rocks and other different models related to Civil Engineering to teach laboratory classes.
