The Robert A. W. Carleton Strength of Materials Laboratory is a large facility equipped for research into all types of engineering materials and structural elements. The laboratory also houses experimental facilities to conduct vibration research. Its Water Resource Laboratory is equipped for experimental studies of fluid and sediment transport.
200g Centrifuge Laboratory
The centrifuge facilities are housed in the basement of Carleton Laboratory. This centrifuge is among the largest in US institutions in terms of size and capacity. The centrifuge was donated by the Kajima Corporation, Japan.
Donald M. Burmister Soil Mechanics Laboratory
The soil mechanics laboratory is used for undergraduate and graduate teaching, as well as for conducting research. Several pieces of state-of-the-art soil testing equipment are available in the Soil Mechanics laboratory.
Heffner Laboratory for Hydrologic Research
The Heffner Laboratory is located in the basement of the Carlton Laboratory. Established by a donation from Edward Heffner ’68, the Laboratory provides facilities for environmental engineering and water resources and fluid mechanics. State-of-the-art instruments for soil moisture, fluid tension and flow visualization measurements are housed in the laboratory. Equipment for undergraduate laboratory courses in fluid mechanics is also available.
