In the laboratory, which was established for education and research activities, experiments are carried out to investigate the macro and microstructural properties of building materials (steel, concrete, composites and their ingredients), examine their behavior under various loads, determine the durability performances against different environmental exposure conditions, determine similarities and differences, and develop new material technologies.
