Hence, the Material Testing Lab gives practical knowledge to student for improving their skill, research. This lab is also used for consultancy of materials testing.
Engineering Geology Laboratory
Engineering geology is the application of the geology to engineering study for the purpose of assuring that the geological factors regarding the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering works are recognized and accounted for. Engineering geologists provide geological and geotechnical recommendations, analysis, and design associated with human development and various types of structures. The realm of the engineering geologist is essentially in the area of earth-structure interactions, or investigation of how the earth or earth processes impact human made structures and human activities.
Works completed by engineering geologists include; geological hazard assessments, geotechnical, material properties, landslide and slope stability, erosion, flooding, dewatering, and seismic investigations, etc. The principal objective of the engineering geologist is the protection of life and property against damage caused by various geological conditions. The practice of engineering geology is also very closely related to the practice of geological engineering and geotechnical engineering.

The laboratory provide societal services by conducting technical studies and laboratories analyses acquired by both private and public sectors in the fields of water, wastewater, air.
The laboratory composes modern and technically advanced instruments needed for water, wastewater and air quality. The laboratory has also many in-situ devices and equipment’s to perform different types of measurements and to take grab and composite water, wastewater, air samples.
Structural Dynamics & Earthquake Engineering Laboratory
The study of structural dynamics in civil engineering curriculum is commonly perceived to be a difficult exercise, more so in India, especially at the postgraduate and undergraduate level even at the graduate level (Included in Final Semester of the course as per D. BATU Syllabus), because of the mathematical nature of the subject. This difficulty is felt, not only by the students, but also by the teachers, who may not have had formal advanced level training in the subjects of earthquake engineering and structural dynamics. Thus, there exists a need to develop suitable teaching and learning aids to augment the classroom teaching of these subjects. One of the most effective ways to achieve this would be to develop a suite of simple experimental setups which would enable the study of basic issues related to vibration behaviour, such as, damping, dynamic response magnification, resonance, structural vibration under support motions, normal modes, vibration isolation, vibration absorption, dynamics with soft and/or weak first/intermediate stories, role of structural ductility in resisting dynamic loads, liquefaction of soils under dynamic loads, seismic wave amplification through soil layer, and rocking and up throw of rigid objects under dynamic base motions. These setups would provide valuable physical insights into the basic vibration behaviour of structures in general, and, structural dynamic responses under base motions, in particular. The work reported in this document contains the work done at the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, as a part of a development project funded by the National Program on Earthquake Engineering Education, MHRD, and Government of India.
