Metodo Load Testing (LT)
In accordance with UNI 11931 “Certification of technical personnel involved in non-destructive testing in the field of civil engineering and cultural and architectural heritage”
Load testing of structures is useful for the overall control, in reality, of the proper execution of the constructed works and of the stresses produced by the applied loads.
The course includes the study of methodology, case study analysis, practical exercises with subsequent data processing in preparation for the RINA Level 2 examination.
