In part A there are two reaction walls to allow the applications of horizontal forces on the experimental models; in the adjacent area, the slab has 1.00 m thickness and is perforated to allow the anchorage of reaction frames and the application of forces of high magnitude. Adjacent to part A of the laboratory there is an external zone for storage of materials. Both parts of the laboratory are equipped with cranes.
