Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Guwahati
The Pavement Materials lab section is equipped with many state of the art equipment for testing pavement materials such as bitumen, aggregates and soil. Some of the major equipment available in the lab are Pneumatic Universal Testing Machine (UTM), Gyratory Compactor, Digital Marshall cum Indirect Tensile
Strength Tester, Automatic Vacuum Sealing Machine, set of equipment for production and design of Cold Mixes (Wet Track Abrasion, Cohesion Tester, Schulze Breuer and Loaded Wheel Tester), Multi Speed Compression Testing Loading Machine and Forced Ductility Testing Machine. Another lab section of Transportation Engineering Lab is Pavement Evaluation Section, where prominent equipment such as Dipstick Road Profiler and Plate Load test setup are available. On the other hand, the Traffic Engineering Laboratory is equipped with a wide array of facilities required for Traffic data collection and analysis. This lab is well equipped with many sophisticated equipment such as Video VBox, Speed Radar Guns and High Definition Video Cameras. In addition to this, many software such as MXRoad, HDM-4 and PTV VISSIM are also available in the computational section of this laboratory.
