An Operation Breakthrough Feedback Report, this historic publication describes the physical testing that the new building materials and methods developed during Operation Breakthrough were subjected to. Because an important aspect of Operation Breakthrough was that the new materials and construction methods comply with a new “performance approach,” as opposed to the traditional “specification approach,” testing was a vital component of the process.
