Durability lab is being used for undergraduate laboratory practicals and for postgraduate research purposes, and doctoral programmes. The testing facilities include concrete durability tests like; carbonation test, half-cell potential test, absorption test, chloride concentration, etc. as per the standards. The testing facility for determining the water quality is also available using pH and TDS tests as per standard.
