About STReSSThe Laboratory for Structural Testing of Resilient and Sustainable Systems (STReSS Laboratory) at Northeastern University is a 4,000 square-foot research facility in Burlington, Mass., in the heart of the I-95 Technology Corridor.
The double-height STReSS Lab features a 2,000 square-foot, reinforced concrete strong floor to enable full-scale testing of buildings, bridges, and other structures to failure. The strong floor includes a grid of 416 tie-down anchors, each capable of withstanding 200,000 pounds of force.
The STReSS Lab is available for multi-scale and coupled experimental, computational, and field investigations across several disciplines of civil engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering mechanics, biomechanics, materials science, architecture, and related fields. Partnership with industry is a core goal of the laboratory. Contract testing services are available as well as opportunities to partner on research.
