Full-scale dynamic testing of Dolosse to destruction
Coastal Engineering, 1980It is well known that the relative dynamic strength of unreinforced slender concrete units decreases as the size increases. Big units can resist relatively smaller movements than small units. When model tests of cover layer stability are performed the determination of the damage criterion that should be adopted must therefore be based on knowledge of ...

ARKTOS Full-Scale Evacuation Tests
SNAME 8th International Conference and Exhibition on Performance of Ships and Structures in Ice, 2008The Arktos vehicle is an amphibious craft system capable of operation in a wide range of Arctic ice conditions and seastates. It is approved as an evacuation system by various regulators, such as the US Coast Guard, and is currently operational in several marine cold regions as an EER system.

Full-scale load tests on instrumented micropiles
Geotechnical Engineering, 2004In September 2001, following an exceptional rainfall event with an estimated return time of about 500 years, a number of ancient buildings located in a restricted area in the historical centre of Napoli underwent significant settlement and heavy structural damage.

Vibration testing of full-scale structures
Nuclear Engineering and Design, 1973Abstract Vibration testing of nuclear reactor plant systems is discussed as a part of the determination of the response of such systems to earthquakes. The methods of ambient, harmonic excitation, and impulse testing are compared. Harmonic excitation tests provide a method of obtaining the complete dynamic characteristics of a system and of ...

A full-scale structural fatigue test program
Journal of Aircraft, 1964Test methods are described for an experimental fatigue evaluation of a full-scale airplane structure. Specific reference is made to a fatigue test program conducted on the Lockheed P3A wing and gear. A flight-by-flight test loading spectrum comprising 7500 flight hours was constructed to represent the total service experience of the airplane.

Full-scale impact tests on pipelines
International Journal of Impact Engineering, 2006Abstract There was a possibility that a new submarine pipeline under construction might accidentally fall on an existing pipeline in operation. Full-scale tests were carried out to study what would happen, and to reassure the operator that the existing line would not be ruptured.

Full-scale fatigue testing (FSFT) forms an integral part of the aircraft development and certification prior to induction into service. The five historical stages of evolution of FSFT are described with a detailed description of present-day requirements including composite structures. The technology used in the FSFT process is explained in detail.

Full-Scale Tests of a Railway Bridge
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1998Full-scale resonance and ultimate load tests of the Strawberry Park Underpass were conducted in March 1995. This bridge was typical of many railway bridges around the country—a two-span, 45.2-m (148-ft) long ballasted through plate girder railway bridge. It was located in Los Angeles and scheduled for removal in spring 1995.

Shake-table testing of full-scale storage rack systems loaded with real merchandise represents the most direct experimental procedure to assess their seismic behaviour. Unfortunately, this type of testing is expensive compared to other methodologies and only a very limited number of shake-table studies on storage racks have been performed to date in ...
