Concrete Technology Laboratory

About the Concrete Technology Laboratory

The CEPT Concrete Technology Laboratory offers top-notch testing capabilities for the materials used in construction. This laboratory is a platform facilitating teaching, research, and professional consultancy at CEPT University. The laboratory enables student to understand the relation between the theoretical design parameters and the actual performance of the designed mix concrete. The laboratory staff is well-trained to conduct the experiments. To maintain the integrity of the results, all instruments and equipment in the laboratory are periodically calibrated. The materials and tests which can be performed as per Indian Standards in the laboratory are listed below:
