MATERIALS TESTING LABORATORY 7 MATERIALS TESTING LABORATORY—EAST FRONT bays. As its name implies, this laboratory is designed primarily to study the behavior of structures, as distinguished from a determination of the physical characteristics of engineering materials. The large crane bay is equipped with heavy machines for testing large structures and structural members. As far as possible the concrete specimens will be poured and the steel specimens manufactured and fabricated in the small crane bay. Sand and gravel bins opening off the southwest corner of the small crane bay provide storage for materials. Two moist rooms having automatic temperature and moisture control are located at the west end of the bay. These rooms are also used for experimental work requiring freedom from temperature changes and air currents. The machine shop serving the structural research laboratory is adjacent to the large crane bay, making it possible to manufacture, handle, and test large structures and structural parts. 7. Student Concrete Laboratory. This laboratory occupies the basement of the northeast wing, with auxiliary rooms available immediately above on the first floor. I t is used mainly for the instruc-
