Summary/Abstract: Occasioned by the events within the ninth edition of the NIRD URBAN-INCERC anniversary conference, this retrospective paper speaks about the development progress reported by HTS laboratory Iaşi Branch, in the domain of physical and mechanical tests to assess the performance of construction materials, since 1975-2015. In relation to the first 20 years of experimental research (1975-1995) from 1996 to 2015, the laboratory has sought to gradually introduce and recover the technological leap that occurred in the conception and the manufacturing of the measurement systems, recording, monitoring and control of the testing conditions and data processing - especially the transition from analogue to digital - by purchasing and introducing new categories of specific equipment. This paper presents how the laboratory, during three generations of specialists, gradually developed specific activities for physical and mechanical tests to assess the performance of construction materials, from the technical level of the years 1975 to the European and technological level of 2010-2015. Are highlighted the progress factors in approaching the directions of research and testing activity, that substantially enriched the laboratory field and content of activity.
