Description: To accurately, and safely, replicate tests the engineers at the University of Southern Queensland used a hydraulic press pump to apply downward force onto the truss. nnThey recorded this force in ‘newtons’, a unit of measurement often used for stating safety holding values in the building industry. As a guide, roughly every 10,000 Newtons of pressure is equivalent to 1 Tonne (1,000 Kilograms) or the weight of a baby humpback whale, saltwater crocodile or a 1979 Volkswagen Beetle.nnMeasuremen
