http://dart2.arc.nasa.gov/Exercises/ShoreExercise2003/ShoreExercise2003.html

Shore Construction and Testing Exercise. March 6, 2003. For the sake of time, the shore that was tested was partially pre-constructed. The shore did not follow strict FEMA construction standards as stainless steel screws were used in lieu of nails. In addition, two vertical-three-post shores were tied together to form a Class III shore. Diagram A below shows the setup of the test stand and diagram B shows the layout of the shore.
