The Laboratory of the Civil Engineering Department University of Coimbra is divided in two areas: Part A for testing of structures (Figure 1) and Part B for testing of materials (Figure 2). 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.
