The Department and Institute's facilities are as following: The Structural and Material Laboratory, Soil Mechanics Laboratory, Dynamic Soil Testing Laboratory, Rock Mechanics Laboratory, Retaining Wall Modeling System, Concrete Chemical Analysis Laboratory, Concrete Structures and Components Durability Laboratory, Concrete Mechanics Laboratory, Fireproof Material Laboratory, Fluid Machanics Laboratory, Ocean and Hydraulic Engineering Laboratory, Sediment Transport Laboratory, River Engineering Laboratory, Surveying Laboratory, Construction Automation Laboratory, Computer Room and Departmental Library.

To meet the research needs, the Building of Civil and Structural Engineering Laboratories was established in 1996. The five story reinforced concrete structure has a full one-level basement. The bearing walls of the strong floor, hydraulic pumps associated with testing machines and other electro-mechanical facilities are stored in the basement. The ground floor houses a large scale Structural Testing Laboratory, a Foundation Modeling Laboratory and Meterial Testing Laboratories. The large scale Structural Testing Laboratory is located in a five story high bay area 20m long and 15m wide, equipped with a 1m thick strong floor and a 13m wide, 12.5m high reaction wall. This experimental facility is capable of handling large scale structural model testing. The strong floor and the reaction wall are equipped with 50 ton capacity threaded bores to fasten testing equipment and specimens. A crane capable of handling 20 ton load is available in the large scale Structural Testing Laboratory. Various types of other research and teaching laboratories are located in the rest of the building from the second to the fifth floor. These include Geotechnical Engineering and Fluid Mechanics Loboratories.

Numerous research projects sponsored by government agencies and private industries are carried out in these laboratories.
