This laboratory is employed for teaching in undergraduate and master's degrees and, recently, for research.

The main facilities and equipment of the laboratory are the following ones:

• Equipment for producing concrete and concrete specimens, and for constructing small structural elements of reinforced concrete.
• Equipment for concrete slump testing according to EN 12350-2.
• Concrete specimen curing installation (EN 12390-2).
• Computer-controlled multipurpose equipment for testing concrete specimens, with a capacity of 3,000 kN (300 t), for compression tests on cylindrical and cubic specimens (EN 12390-3 and EN 12390-4), indirect tensile tests (Brazilian test; EN 12390-6), and bending tests (UNE EN 12390-5).
• Multipurpose frame for structural testing of beams and small columns, of 300 kN (30 t) capacity.
• Multipurpose data acquisition system, with self-calibration and control software, for use with strain gages (with any type of assembly), transducers or load cells, and thermocouples.
• Water absorption measurement system for stone materials.
• Electrical equipment for accelerated corrosion tests of structural concrete reinforcement in aqueous medium.
• 10 metric ton overhead crane.
