Attention Section A - Lab internal examination

Lab internal examination for Section A (II year) students will be conducted next week (8-12 April) for the BMC and Soil Mechanics Lab. You must complete your laboratory file and get it checked this week as no checking will be done next week. You can get your lab file checked either from your lab instructor or lab assistant.

Lab internal is of 25 marks which is further sub-divided into marks for lab file (10), viva (10) and attendance (5). 

You will lose marks if the file is incomplete or not checked. Internal exam will be conducted in your respective lab class.

Following experiments should be completed in your lab file:

BMC Lab 

1) Determine fineness of cement
2)  Determine consistency of cement
3) Find the initial and final setting time of cement
4) Sieve analysis
5) Determination of dimension and tolerance of the brick
6)  Water absorption of bricks


Soil Mechanics Lab

1) Soil Moisture content 
2) Soil specific gravity
3) Particle size distribution (sieve analysis)
4) Soil Atterberg limits (liquid limit and plastic limit) 
5) Soil compaction
6) Soil in-situ density
