About

You will be able to

  • Test cement for consistency, setting time, soundness and strength
  • Test aggregates for grading, impact, crushing and abrasion values
  • Measure workability of fresh concrete
  • Test hardened concrete in compression and by non-destructive methods
  • Perform tension test on steel bars and tests on bricks
  • Record observations and compare results with IS limits

Who it is for

  • B.Tech Civil Engineering students of Semester 4 (AKTU)
  • Students of other universities studying the same subject who want unit-wise coaching
  • Students who want to revise experiments and viva questions before the practical exam

What you need

  • Materials, Testing and Evaluation theory of the same semester
  • Lab coat, safety shoes and lab record

Questions

Which syllabus does the Materials Testing Lab course follow?

It follows the AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) B.Tech syllabus for Materials Testing Lab. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus.

Will this help in the practical exam and viva?

Yes. Each experiment is explained with its aim, procedure, calculations and result, followed by viva questions and a mock practical.

Are all IS tests shown?

The centre demonstrates key tests and explains the remaining ones with procedure, observation tables and viva questions as per the AKTU lab list.
