Prof.Dr. Erdogan Uzgider yonetiminde NATO Science for Stability Programi cercevesinde gerceklestirilen "Evaluation of Railway Bridges" projesi kapsaminda Haydarpasa'da tesis edilen ve uzun yillar hizmet veren "TCDD - ITU HASLAB Yorulma Deneyleri Laboratuvari" 2015 yilinda faaliyetlerini sonlandirmistir. Insaat Fakultesi ile TCDD arasinda Mart 2016 da imzalanan protokol cercevesinde, bu laboratuvarda kullanilan tum aletler ile celik yorulma cercevesi YDMLab'a getirilmistir. Celik yorulma cercevesi YDMLab yerlesim planina uygun olarak revize edilmis ve tekrar kurulmustur. Yorulma deney sistemini olusturan MTS 244.41 hidrolik verenlerinin elektronik bilesenleri, hidrolik hortum ve veri transfer kablolari, kontrol uniteleri ve yazilimlari bir baska ar-ge projesinden saglanan imkanla guncellenmistir. Modernize edilen sistem, aktif olarak demiryolu altyapi urunleri deneylerinde kullanilmaktadir.
The "TCDD - ITU HASLAB Fatigue Testing Laboratory", which was established in Haydarpasa within the scope of the "Evaluation of Railway Bridges" project carried out within the framework of the NATO Science for Stability Program under the management of Prof. Dr. Erdogan Uzgider and provided service for many years, ended its activities in 2015. Within the framework of the protocol signed between the Faculty of Civil Engineering and TCDD in March 2016, all the instruments used in this laboratory and the steel fatigue frame were brought to STEELab. The steel fatigue frame was revised and re-established per the STEELab layout plan. The electronic components of the MTS 244.41 hydraulic actuators, hydraulic hoses and data transfer cables, control units, and software that constitute the fatigue testing system were updated with the opportunity provided by another R&D project. The modernized system is actively used in railway infrastructure product tests.
