Severe loading tests on large-size structures at ELSA laboratory
The ELSA laboratory is provided with a large reaction-wall facility and has acquired its best expertise on the development and implementation of innovative experimental techniques mainly related to testing of large-scale specimens by the pseudo-dynamic method. Important examples are represented by the bidirectional tests performed on multi-storey buildings and the tests with non-linear substructuring applied to bridges. Apart from the relevant achievements within the testing techniques, the role of a reference laboratory in Europe has allowed ELSA to rely on the collaboration of many important research institutions that have collaborated to the projects and added maximum scientific value to the results of the tests. The aspects of advanced testing methods and collaboration through extensive use of networking are very important components for the proposed future European facility for seismic testing within project EFAST in which ELSA is also taking part. Such networking should include shared database, telepresence and geographically distributed testing. ; JRC.DG.G.5-European laboratory for structural assessment
