Recent projects:

Testing of a working platform
This recent project involved the testing of a working platform to be used during house construction in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 12811. Tests conducted included

  • distributed loading
  • hard & soft body impacts
  • uplift

Assessment of structural design of MMC systems
We have assessed the structural design procedures of a number of MMC systems as part of their application for BRE Global technical Approval.

Static load testing of a new composite floor system
This new flooring system using light steel components was tested to determine the degree of composite action between the steel and the concrete floor slab.

Testing of composite joints
This project involved testing of full sized steel/concrete composite joints to confirm their behaviour in fire following an explosion or an earthquake.

Testing the racking resistance of walls
We have recently tested the racking resistence of the walls of various off-site manufactured/MMC building systems. The data generated from the tests provides the system manufacturers with information they need in their semi-empirical approach to design against wind loading.

Structural testing to confirm the performance of re-inforced concrete beams that have a recycled aggregate content
