09/02-- An L-shaped corner of the new civil engineering lab has a special "strong floor" and "reaction wall" made up of 10-foot-thick concrete slabs containing numerous holes in which to anchor large structures being tested. Structures will be bolted to the surfaces, and then powerful hydraulic equipment will be used to exert forces on them, simulating effects like those seen during earthquakes and high winds.
