UNSW Civil Engineering Heavy Structures Lab

The Randwick Heavy Structures Laboratory and the Materials Research Laboratory and Geotechnical Engineering Laboratories support experimental research on various aspects of structural engineering. Our laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art servo-controlled hydraulic actuators and universal testing machines to maintain a capacity for high load testing, ranging from 10 kN to 5000 kN. We combine strength testing with X-Ray measuring of laboratory specimens under load. This improves understanding at the materials level for the development of refined, mechanically based, structural models.
