13 Nov 2003: The experimental tests demonstrated that reinforced concrete beam-and-slab decks might be capable of carrying additional load beyond this point. ... Post-test NLFE analyses were also carried out using more rigorously defined tension stiffening curves as

30 Sep 2002: However, experiments and full-scale load tests confirm that bridges are often able to carry loads well in excess of the theoretical capacity calculated using this approach.

17 Apr 2001: The work carried out on this test specimen included the preliminary analysis, its construction and assembly, and a series of tests performed during both the non-composite and the composite stages. ... An advanced three-dimensional finite-element model of

27 Oct 2004: The test series. involved 4 saturated tests and their general configuration is presented in Table 1. ... Figure 6 shows. the post-test observations for tests BG-02 and BG-03.

10 Nov 2003: A series of tests on reinforced concrete continuous deep beams was performed to aid in the development of such models. ... Present codes of practice (ACI 318-89 and CIRIA Guide 2) for continuous deep beams showed little agreement when compared to test

7 Nov 2003: Modal tests are carried out on the mast to establish the variation of modal parameters with prestress levels, input force amplitudes, and gravity orientation. ... The dynamic model is validated against the experimental observations from the modal tests.

13 Nov 2003: Tests on the length and shape accuracy of the mast have also been performed and recorded. ... Collectively, these tests showed some important characteristics of the proposed mast.

27 Sep 2002: This involves looking at the effect of uncertainty in non-destructive test methods on the decisions made with relation tobridge safety and also on bridge maintenance and repair actions.

23 Sep 1998: To provide a basis against which such theoretical models could be validated, a series of tests on concrete prisms, with and without steel reinforcement, and strip-loaded through rigid plates, was ... The method was shown to be capable of predicting both

21 Jul 1998: Several tests were carried out on this one-way actuator, both in the one-disk and three disk configurations. ... Working torques used in the test varied from -0.2 Nm to 0.62 Nm.

10 Nov 2003: A series of full-scale tests has been carried out on three double-layer square-on-square space trusses including two non-composite and one composite truss. ... A series of tests was also carried out on CSF nodes and splices in order to develop a

10 Aug 2004: Gravity Compensation of Deployable Space Structures. Annette Fischer. Abstract:. Gravity compensation suspension systems are essential to support space structures during tests on Earth, but also impose constraints on the structures that ... A

3 Nov 2010: These tests have included a series of half-scale beam-and-slab bridge tests funded by EPSRC and the Highways Agency and 20 scale models of concrete bridges.
