Resource Abstract:
- description: The Bridging Technology Lab is located at Selfridge Air National Guard Base (SANGB), Harrison Township, MI. The
lab is capable of evaluating bridging components, subassemblies and complete systems in a simulated environment. The lab offers
unobstructed access within the building and storage of large bridge components outside of the building when they are not being
tested.Capabilities:TARDEC's Bridging Technology Lab can support testing for complete bridges up to 210 feet long,
32 feet wide and 23 feet tall. The lab contains 10 hydraulic actuators capable of simulating vehicle crossings at weights
up to 1 million pounds - a system that minimizes risk to people and vehicles during evaluations of new materials and design
concepts. Dedicated data acquisition equipment is also available to measure and record relevant information during tests.Benefits:• 
Controlled environment for year-round testing.•  Proximity to TACOM LCMC and the PEOs.• 
Data collection is more repeatable and at lower cost than field tests.•  Tests can be completed quickly
with fewer personnel than live bridge crossings.•  Fatigue-to-failure testing conducted without risking
injury to people or damage to equipment.; abstract: The Bridging Technology Lab is located at Selfridge Air National Guard
