Educational Trip to UP Diliman and PHILVOCS
Educational Trip to UP Diliman and PHILVOCS
On February 20, 2014 we, the 4th year students of BS Civil Engineering students of Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University (DHVTSU) had an educational trip on Laboratory of Civil Engineering department of UP Diliman and PHILVOCS. The purpose of this trip is to gain useful and helpful informations about our course, to learn how to use and operate laboratory equipment used in the field of Civil Engineering. The first part of the trip was on UP Diliman Engineering Laboratory, the first equipment introduce to us was the hydraulic bench, it is used to investigate channel flow, hydraulic jump, determining the coefficient of discharge flow of the system. The second equipment was air pipe assembly and oil pipe assembly, for the air pipe it is used to determine friction losses in pipe and discharge, oil pipe it is used to determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent, velocity distribution in pipes. The other equipment were the closed circuit wind tunnel, it determines the pressure distribution and velocity distribution around various bodies, Portable Wind tunnel, it determines the lift and drag around various bodies.The other equipments are the different types of Universal Testing Machines, which determines the strength of the material being tested. For the testing of steel reinforcement they are determining the yield point and breakage point of the steel, while on the concrete cylinder testing they are only to determine the ultimate strength of concrete because concrete doesn’t have yield point. The last equipment they show us was the rainfall simulator which determines the discharge flow of water on the drainage system. The second part of the trip was on PHILVOLCS, here they discuss us the recently earthquake that happened on Bohol which is 7.2 magnitude. The presentation they show us tells us how devastating the earthquake was, it has destroy a lot of establishments and churches that are centuries old, the
