Materials Lab
The Civil Engineering Department at the University of New Mexico has three well-equipped laboratories in which the physical and mechanical properties of Civil Engineering Materials are evaluated.
These three laboratories include:
* The mechanics of materials laboratory where students test the behavior of metals (steel & aluminum) and timber.
* The concrete laboratory where students evaluate concrete aggregates, portland cement and portland cement concrete (PCC).
* The bituminous laboratory where students test asphalt binders and hot mix asphalt (HMA).
