Department of Civil Engineering at SORT Bhopal| Best CE College in Bhopal | Construction, Infrastructure & Design Training

Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Equipped with well- facilitated laboratories and qualified faculty the course offers an excellent academic understanding to the students. The students have to undergo a training during their vacations and prepare a project towards the completion of the project.

The department was established in 2012 keeping in mind the need of talented and skilled civil engineers. The academic activities of the Department emphasize deep understanding of fundamental principles, development of positive ability to handle the practical problems of Civil Engineering. The department also encourages its students to engage in extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, essential for development, nurturing of team spirit, and developing skills.

The department of Civil engineering with its experienced faculty continues to maintain and cultivate its strong links with the outside industry. The Department has fully equipped labs with latest testing machines of Construction materials, Fluid mechanics, Surveying, Engineering Geology, Engineering Mechanics, Strength of Materials etc.

The laboratories are specifically designed with excellent facilities to meet the requirements of A.I.C.T.E. and University.

SURVEYING & ADVANCE SURVEYING LAB:

Objective: It includes essential measurements to determine the relative position of points or physical and cultural details above, on, or beneath the surface of the Earth, and to depict them in a usable form, or to establish the position of points or details.

Equipment’s used: Theodolite, level, compass, Total Station, GPS, Digital Plannimeter with all accessories.

MATERIAL TESTING LAB / TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING LAB:

Material testing laboratory helps for selecting and verifying materials and to evaluate material quality, performance, troubleshooting, research and many other applications.

Equipments used: Le-chatteliers apparatus, vicat’s apparatus, SIEVE SHAKER, aggregate crushing value apparatus, UTM.

GEO-TECHNICAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY:

Objectives: The student will gain hands-on experience in conducting soil laboratory tests to determine soil parameters needed for geotechnical engineering design, and to communicate this information with others. Further the laboratory involves determination of moisture content, density, plastic limit, and liquid limit, shrinkage limit, bearing capacity, grain size distribution and specific gravity of soil.

Equipments used: oven, consolidometer, shear box, CBR, compaction testing machine, core-cutter, casagrande apparatus, test kit for atterberg limits.

GEOLOGY LABORATORY :

Objective Of Engineering Geology Lab

  • To understand the role of geology in the design and construction process of underground openings in rock.
  • To apply geologic concepts and approaches on rock engineering projects.
  • To identify and classify rock using basic geologic classification systems.
  • To use the geologic literature to establish the geotechnical framework needed to properly design and construct heavy civil works rock projects. To identify and characterize intact rock/rock mass properties.

FLUID MECHANICS LABORATORY:

The objective of this laboratory is to determine the various parameters related to fluid flow in pipes and in open channels.
