Research Institute «Construction Production»

Educational research laboratory “Geotechnics”

At the university, on the basis of the Department of “Construction”, there are laboratories of “Geotechnics”, “Soil Mechanics” and “Non-destructive testing methods in construction”. These laboratories contain educational, laboratory and research equipment.

The laboratories are equipped with the latest devices for conducting compression tests for triaxial compression, determining the strength of concrete, mortar, brick with digital counting, equipment that allows for almost a full range of tests of building materials and soil foundations according to the standards of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Compression testing device KPr-1M & KP-9

KPr-1M is designed to determine the parameters of the compressive properties of the soil.

The KP-9 compression device is designed for accelerated compression testing of soils.

Moisture meter–moisture meter for building materials

VIMS-2.21 is designed for operational humidity control of a wide range of solid and bulk materials.

Measuring the thickness of the protective layer of concrete and the location of the reinforcement

The IPA-MG4 devices are used for direct control of the thickness of the protective layer of concrete and the location of core reinforcement in reinforced concrete products by the magnetic method.

Working with the 5S profometer to determine the diameter and position of reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures

This device is designed to determine the presence, location, direction and diameter of the valve with an accuracy of ± 1 mm.

Laboratory stands for conducting model studies of promising foundation structures

Laboratory stands are designed to simulate the operation of foundations and obtain load–sediment dependencies.

Schmidt hammer is a non–destructive testing device for ensuring the strength of building concretes and mortars in industrial conditions by the elastic rebound method

The Schmidt hammer is used as a strength meter for concrete and rocks. The measurement method is based on the determination of the shock pulse that occurs after the application of a load.

The ITP-MG-4 device is designed to determine the thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of building materials

ITP-MG4 devices are designed to determine the thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of building materials, as well as materials intended for thermal insulation of industrial equipment and pipelines in stationary modea.
