The Civil Engineering Laboratory which consists of the Construction and Materials Laboratory, Hydraulics Laboratory, and Surveying Equipment provides almost all the laboratories required by CHED which recently purchased equipment that could perform laboratory activities for all Civil Engineering subjects such as Construction Materials, Hydraulics, Geotechnical Engineering, Engineering Drawing and Surveying.
The Construction and Materials Laboratory is a specialized facility where various construction materials, such as concrete, steel, asphalt, aggregates, soil, and other building materials, are tested and analyzed.
The highlight of the materials laboratory in RMMC is the Universal Testing Machine (UTM) which is used to test tensile strength (pulling) and compressive strength (pushing), flexural strength, bending, shear, hardness, and torsion testing, providing valuable data for designing and ensuring the quality of materials.
The hydraulics laboratory in a civil engineering department is a specialized facility where the behavior of fluids (primarily water) is studied in relation to civil engineering structures such as dams, channels, pipes, bridges, and coastal infrastructure.
The highlight of the hydraulics laboratory is the Hydraulic Tilting fume set-up, an experimental apparatus used in hydraulics laboratories to study open channel flow and simulate river, canal, or stream conditions.
