Testing of a Full-Scale Composite Floor Plate
A full-scale composite floor plate was tested to investigate the flexural behavior and in-plane effects of the floor slab in a grillage of composite beams that reduces the tendency for longitudinal splitting of the concrete slab along the line of the ...

The tests performed on a full-scale prototype of the closure designed for the Pathfinder reactor vessel are described. This head was bolted to another head designed to simulate the reactor vessel. The design pressure of the facility is 700 psig at 500 deg F. Strain gages and brittle coatings were used to determine the stresses in the closure.

Bayesian Model-Updating Implementation in a Five-Story Building
Simplifications and theoretical assumptions are usually incorporated into the numerical modeling of structures. However, these assumptions may reduce the accuracy of the simulation results.

Full-Scale Fire Resistance Testing of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Various FRPR einforcement [PDF]
The widespread use of Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) reinforced concrete (RC) structural members is hindered by their low fire resistant characteristics, limiting their use to cases, where fire resistance is not a priority.
