Full Scale Testing of New York World'S Fair Structures. Volume I. The Bourbon Street Structure
The fundamental purpose of the program was to test full-scale structures selected from the complex of buildings erected for the 1964-65 New York World's Fair in order to ascertain to the extent possible the degree of correlation between performance of actual structural systems and that predicted from laboratory testing and design theories. The Bourbon Street structure was a two-story structure, approximately 750 feet long and 50 feet wide. The following tests were conducted on this structure: Lateral loading of the frames; Uniform loading of the floor and roof; Concentrated load tests to evaluate ability of second floor to sustain such loading; Vibration loading.
