AMC VLA 307(a)  Proof of structure (Interpretative Material)

ED Decision 2003/18/RM

1                               Substantiating load tests made in accordance with CS-VLA 307(a) should normally be taken to ultimate design load.

2                               The results obtained from strength tests should be so corrected for departures from the mechanical properties and dimensions assumed in the design calculations as to establish that the possibility of any structure having a strength less than the design value, owing to material and dimensional variation, is extremely remote.
