| Heavy Structures Lab | The DST Sponsored Laboratory under the Department of Applied Mechanics is a state-of-the-art research facility established through funding support from the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The lab supports cutting-edge research in structural health monitoring, earthquake engineering, and advanced structural materials. It plays a key role in promoting interdisciplinary research and fostering collaborations between academia, industry, and government organizations. The laboratory provides opportunities for M.Tech. and Ph.D. students to conduct experimental investigations using modern instruments and sophisticated data acquisition systems. The Servo-Hydraulic Loading Frame (200 T capacity) is a high-precision system used to apply controlled static or dynamic loads to structural components and materials. It operates through a servo-controlled hydraulic actuator, which ensures accurate application of force or displacement based on test requirements. This advanced loading frame is essential for testing large-scale specimens such as beams, columns, slabs, and composite elements under various loading conditions — including monotonic, cyclic, fatigue, and dynamic loads. The system allows researchers to simulate real-world stress environments and study material behavior, structural performance, and failure mechanisms, thereby contributing to safer and more efficient structural designs. |
