Abstract:
Three load tests conducted on roof of Rathskeller Building, Belgian Village, exhibit at 1964-65 New York World’s Fair applied uniform loading to four adjacent interior panels, then to three panels along the edge of the slab, finally to a single interior panel. The behaviorof the structure was in general accord with existing theories.
