In January, I took a tour of the The Constructed Facilities Laboratory at North Carolina State University. This is where engineers take the materials and structures that build our world and put them to the test--pushing pillars, concrete slabs, pipes, and more to the breaking point. In this video, lab manager Greg Lucier explains the special design of floors and walls in the lab that allow researchers to set up experiments.
