Load Cells for Structural Testing

the Engineering Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) performs research to enhance the ability of structures in the United States to 1) resist damage from various hazards (e.g., blast, wind, and seismic hazards) and 2) recover from and adapt to hazards that result i

n damage. To this end, the Structures Group is expanding upon a recently completed experimental research effort that focused on mitigating disproportionate collapse of buildings in the United States. The final phase of that effort involved
