Testing Services

The followings are the major tests that can be performed at Soil Mechanics Laboratory :

1. Compressive Strength of Concrete   Cubs and Cylinders
2. Bending and Shear Tests for Concrete and Steel Beams
3. Bending and Shear Tests for Concrete and Steel Columns and Frame
4. Tensile tests for Reinforced Steel Bars
5. Testing Masonry Walls

Technical Staff

All tests run by highly qualified engineers and technicians who constantly supervised by experienced faculties in order to assure the compliance of these tests with international standards. Accurateness of computer generated tests results are often verified and thus considered reliable by decision-makers. Quality assurance of material testing services maintained through periodic evaluation programs in term of checking the calibration of the equipment and upgrading them to meet the market demands.
