Concrete Technology

This Laboratory facilitates many tests on fresh as well as hardened concrete. The relation between the theoretical design expectations and actual performance of the designed mix concrete is a very effective learning exercise which is being carried out in this Laboratory. Series of non destructive Tests are also being performed for diagnosis of quality of existing concrete structures.
