Structural assessment: the role of large and full-scale testing (1997)

Structural assessment: the role of large and full-scale testing presents the proceedings of an international seminar organised jointly by the Institution informal study group on model analysis as a design tool and City University, London.
The 63 papers address a wide range of topics including structural materials, types of loading, and types of structures and methods of testing.
Less usual situations are also considered, including evaluations of the cast iron frame of an industrial building and of a nuclear containment structure.
Special subjects are also addressed such as concrete and steel bridge assessment and composite construction.
