About the Laboratory
The hydraulic laboratory provides services for research and education with its developing infrastructure. In the laboratory, basic experiments in fluid mechanics, hydraulics and hydrology are done by undergraduate students. In this laboratory, an open channel mechanism with a 60 cm wide, 10 m long adjustable base of slope, a flow rate between 5 lt/sec and 50 lt/sec together with water circulation was manufactured. In this laboratory, there is an Ultrasonic Flow Meter that measures the flow rate in all penstocks with an error of ± 3 from 5 cm to 100 cm in diameter, and a digital muline that measures point velocity with an error of ± 1, purchased with the support of the Erciyes University Rectorate.

About the Laboratory
All engineering structures transfer their loads to the ground and cause the ground to carry them. Geotechnical department in civil engineering works on determining the geotechnical properties of soils and using them in design. The areas of applications such as roads, dams, retaining structures (retaining wall, palplans, anchorage, etc.), excavations, slopes, etc. including foundations of the buildings can come engineers’ way. In the soil mechanics laboratory of our department, there are classical test sets used to determine the physical and mechanical properties of soils and are constantly used in studies related to the subject. The following tests can be carried out: • Specific gravity test • Water content determination • Sieve analysis • Hydrometer analysis • Liquid limit test • Plastic limit test • Compaction test • California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test • Constant level and falling level permeability tests • Consolidation test • Free pressure test • Shear Box test • Field and Laboratory Vane test • Dynamic Probe test.
