KNTU Civil Engneering Faculty comprises six groups: water engineering-soil engineering-structural engineering-transportation engineering-environmental engineering. The library contains about 7,000 books in Persian, 6,000 books in English and other foreign languages, 130 journals in different languages, and 150 thesis and research reports. The university's bookshop is located on this campus. There
is also a housing facility and some sport facilities. The faculty has several fully equipped labs used for research or teaching. The laboratories are as follows:
Structural Engineering Laboratories: Concrete, Structures, Mechanics of Materials, Materials of Construction. Water Engineering Laboratories: Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Hydraulic Models. Road and Transportation Engineering Laboratories: Pavement Properties
Soil and Foundation Engineering Laboratories: Soil Mechanics Laboratory
Earthquake Engineering Laboratories: Structural Dynamics Laboratory, including ambient and forced vibration testing devices for the evaluation and measurement of the dynamic characteristics of the existing structures, as well as an earthquake computer site. Environmental Engineering Laboratories: Water and Waste Water Chemistry, Redundant Solid Materials, and Microbiology. This faculty is expert in concrete engineering and has won national and international awards for its achievements in this field. These include first place in 2002 and 2003, second place in 2001 and third place in 2004 in the cement competitions of the American Concrete Institute(ACI). They have also been awarded third place in the bridge design and construction with Balsa wood competition in 2003.The faculty has 28 full-time faculty members. It is located at Valiasr St., opposite the Eskan towers.
