Civil engineering is a branch
dealing with a wide range of construction and development of buildings,
roadways, structures, pavements, highways, etc. The construction of
these infrastructures require different materials like cement, asphalt,
concrete, aggregates, etc. The durability and strength of these
structures largely depends on the quality of the materials used. These
materials are tested by using various testing Equipment and machines,
which works on various principles to check the properties of the
materials.
Following are the different categories of testing equipment used in
civil engineering projects and surveys :
