In our labs
It’s the job of researchers in the CFL to break things. And they enjoy it. The facility on NC State’s Centennial Campus enables research, development and testing of construction materials and structural systems at full scale. Whether it’s a bridge beam, a parking deck column or a concrete wall, the facility’s 4,500-square-foot structural testing floor can probably handle it. If not, Dr. Sami Rizkalla, CFL director and Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering, has set aside space behind the facility to test outdoors.
