QUALITY ASSESSMENT AND IMPROVEMENT IN PSEUDO-DYNAMIC TESTS

摘要

The ELSA laboratory is equipped with a large reaction-wall facility and has acquired its best expertise on the development and implementation of innovative experimental techniques mainly related to testing large-scale specimens by means of the pseudo- dynamic method. Apart from the relevant achievements within the testing methods, such as the continuous pseudo-dynamic test, the development of effective techniques for the assessment of the experimental errors has been another important contribution to the improvement of the quality of the experiments.
