The School of Civil Engineering and Surveying
Structures and Hydraulics Laboratory |
|
Structures facilities include a range of modern model structures which are used in teaching to demonstrate the principles of structural engineering. We also have a number of testing machines used in both teaching and research in civil engineering materials and structures:
Our hydraulics facilities enable students to investigate all aspects of open channel flow such as flow over weirs and hydraulic jumps using a 7 metre long tilting channel. There are also a number of smaller mobile hydraulics benches that can be used for experiments including pipe friction, fitting losses, flow in a venturi and impact of a water jet. In addition, flow nets can be modelled in soils by means of a drainage/seepage flow rate experimental set. |
