Materials Testing Draft
The materials testing allows for the study of mechanical and durability properties of structural and construction materials under various loading and environmental conditions. Our lab offers unique capabilities for axial testing up to 1 million lbs (4450 kN)Â for large sections and laboratory sample load testing under programmable thermal and moisture environments.
