https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdjO9jU4-4Q What if engineers could find a structure’s weaknesses before those weaknesses become a real-world failure? At ERDC’s Structural Testing and Analysis Research (STAR) Facility, researchers use large-scale structural testing to understand how bridges, building components, flood-control infrastructure, protective systems and other structures respond to different types of loading. We are joined by Dr. Bette…
