accidental load conditions


Explanation:
...as opposed to normal load conditions as defined by structural engineering codes of practice. Here I have referred to Eurocodes.

Accidental load conditions include:

- impact
- explosions

From the reference given:

Accidental actions may be defined as actions with low probability, severe consequences of failure and usually of short duration. Typical examples are fire, explosion, earthquake, impact, floods, avalanches, landslides, and so on. Next to these identified accidental actions, structural members may get damaged for a variety of less identifiable reasons like human errors, improper use, exposure to aggressive agencies, failure of equipment, terrorist attacks and so on.

neutral  Claire Cox: not accidental which suggests merely unintentional but accident as in "in the event of an accident"

  -> Well, if the text is referring to testing of materials that have already been subjected to a pseudo "accidental event" to check their resistance to perform in the event of a real event, then you are probably right to doubt my suggestion. Thanks anyway:)
