Testing includes evaluating [[compressive strength]], [[shear strength]], [[tensile strength]], all of which may be conducted to failure or to some satisfactory margin of safety. Evaluations may also be indirect, using techniques such as [[x-ray]] [[ultrasound]], and [[ground-penetrating radar]], among others, to assess the quality of the object.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web |date=2011 |title=Structural Testing |url=https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/641784main_Structures_Test_Lab_FTI.pdf |website=NASA Johnson Space Flight Center}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal |last1=Bransby-Zachary |first1=Charles |last2=Crevello |first2=Gina L. |date=2016-09-01 |title=Ground Penetrating Radar for Use on Concrete Structures |url=https://www.structuremag.org/?p=10434 |journal=STRUCTURE Magazine |language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Structural engineering|Structural engineers]] conduct structural testing to evaluate material suitability for a particular application and to evaluate the capacity of existing structures to withstand foreseeable loads.<br /> <br /> Items may include buildings (or components), bridges, airplane wings&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal<br /> | last =Groth<br /> | first =C<br /> | title =Structural validation of a realistic wing structure: the RIBES test Structural validation of a realistic wing structure: the RIBES test<br /> | journal =Procedia Structural Integrity, AIAS 2018 International Conference on Stress Analysis<br /> | volume =12<br /> | issue =<br /> | pages =448–456<br /> | date =2018<br /> | doi =10.1016/j.prostr.2018.11.073<br /> | url= https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452321618301768<br /> | access-date =11 September 2022<br /> | hdl =11573/1262267<br /> | hdl-access =free<br /> }}&lt;/ref&gt; or other types of structures.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Structural analysis]]<br /> *[[Structural load]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Structural engineering]]<br /> [[Category:Product testing]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{engineering-stub}}</div>
