Het project betreft het beproeven van teenconstructies met een horizontale kracht. De gedachte daarbij is dat deze kracht de belasting representeert die de bekleding uitoefent op de teenconstructie indien deze naar beneden glijdt en tegen de teen gaat rusten. Er zijn twee locaties beproefd. Op één locatie bestaat de teenconstructie uit een rij...
