Foundation Lab
This testing facility is revived recently in the year 2016 for carrying out advanced research in the area of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. Model foundation tank with loading frame and servo-hydraulic shaking table are two important facilities of the laboratory, which enable testing of small-to-large scale foundation models under static and dynamic loading conditions. Laminar box is another important facility, which enables study of dynamic response of level grounds including effects of wave propagation and liquefaction. The laboratory is also equipped with large size cyclic triaxial, which has capability to determine the dynamic properties of any all type of soils including aggregates

Quasi-Static Airbag Test Facility
Welcome to the Quasi-Static Airbag Test Facility, Department of Earthquake Engineering, IIT Roorkee. This test facility has been established for testing the unreinforced and strengthened masonry walls in reversed cyclic loading with realistic boundary conditions. The sole purpose of this facility is to test the walls under uniformly distributed load under one-way or two-way out-of-plane flexural action and to develop load-displacement hysteretic curves. With state-of-the-art test facility, the lab is equipped to conduct quasi-static tests in full-scale level. This facility has been developed to improve ‘Research and Development’ and continuously being modernized to accomplish research need

Seismological Observatory
The seismological observatory was founded in early 1970s to cater for the recording of earthquake signals in the Ganga foredeep. The basement depth here is approximately 3000 m below the seismological observatory. The observatory is situated near the junction of north east rock sequence of the Himalayan orogenic belt and the area is covered with quaternary alluvial deposits of the Indo Gangetic plains and is about 25 km south of Himalayan Frontal Fault. Northeast direction of crustal shortening is reported in the nearby areas. North of the Roorkee Seismological observatory lies the Ganga Tear, a conspicuous transverse fault along which nontectonic activity is evident.

Shake Table Test Facility
The Department of Earthquake Engineering, IIT Roorkee has a biaxial, servo-controlled shake table for testing a payload of upto 20 Tonnes against earthquake motions. The facility can reproduce past recorded earthquake time histories, artificial time histories generated to be compatible with the design spectra, sine sweep, or any other regular waveforms in one vertical plane. The facility is housed in a 12 m high test hall equipped with a 15 Tonnes electrically operated overhead travelling crane. An electric substation of 425 KVA provides 3 phase, 440 VAC, 50 Hz power supply to the facility with a provision for 200 Amps, 440 VAC supply for On-Load testing of equipment.
