The LMC headquartered at this institution of higher education aims to enable the realization of several tests, teachers and students Wed to attend. For the execution of those tests, is available a wide range of equipment.
To achieve the necessary credibility, each test has a standard that underlying the results obtained in each experiment corresponds to those established by the standard. For a better understanding of the work carried out in the LMC will be presented, then the equipment just as plausible to perform tests every one of them. 
 
 
 
  
Tests and standards held at LMC:

There are four major categories of test performed, namely: Aggregates, cement, concrete and Soil. Within these categories there are several tests and respective standards.
