Director: Prof. Dr. Magdy Kassem<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Concrete Research Laboratory of the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University is one of the main piers that revolutionized structural engineering in Egypt. The lab utilizes its available resources to conduct experimental tests concerning scientific research in the field of reinforced concrete for more than seventy years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Concrete Research Lab is considered one of the largest and well established Labs in the Middle East. The Lab was first established in 1931 as part of the Royal School of Engineering (now the Faculty of Engineering) of the Egyptian University (now Cairo University) located at a building next to the Heat Lab of the Mechanical Engineering Department. The lab was transferred to its permanent location in the Faculty Annex in 1939. The lab was under joint management with the \u201cFoundation Lab\u201d till their separation in the early fifties.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 1990, the Concrete Lab was renovated to occupy an area three times the size of its previous one. The Lab new equipment is considered to be the state-of-the art in machinery. It allows the conduction of highly sophisticated tests and research. It includes a test base for investigating long span structural elements under loads with different directions. Also, a special section was constructed to test small-scale models.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Research activities<\/strong><\/p>\n Beam Sample after Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Facilities<\/strong><\/p>\n Facilities include;<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Strong Floor and Rigid Frame for Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Industrial Interaction<\/strong><\/p>\n Concrete research laboratory, Cairo University is aiming at enhancing the scientific and industrial interaction and cooperation between the university and society through services for institutions, enterprises and engineering firms all over the country through :<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Consulting Services<\/strong><\/p>\n Field Tests<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Quality Control<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Technical Reports<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Structural Design<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a06th October Bridge loading test<\/strong><\/p>\n Pedestrian Bridge loading test Railway beam loading test Framework loading test Wooden beam loading test Design and supervision of repair works of Parliament Building Design and supervision of repair works of Shura Building<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Address<\/strong><\/p>\n Cairo University<\/p>\n Structural Engineering Department<\/p>\n Concrete Research Laboratory<\/p>\n Jamaa Street, Giza, Egypt<\/p>\n Tel +2-02-35732655<\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0Fax +2-02-35721042<\/p>\n\n
