A programme of long term service load tests was undertaken on the sixth floor of the full-scale, seven storey, reinforced concrete building at the Large Building Test Facility of the Building Research Establishment at Cardington. By using internally strain gauged reinforcing bars cast into an internal and external floor bay during the construction process it was possible to gain a very detailed record of slab strains resulting from the application of two intensities of test loads. Three site visits were made over a two year period to record results from the strain gauged bars. Results from this monitoring exercise are presented in this paper.
