Code: Civil-MCE-0280
UNIVERSAL TEST FRAME, 300kN.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The universal test frame is used for studying loading experiments on steel work or civil engineering structure such as girder, beam, truss etc. where actual 1:1 loading can be made. The structure is to be provided by the user.
It consists of twin frame with intermediate space to permit structure longer than the frame opening to be tested. The frame is made of channels joined together by high strength bolts. Two cross bearers under the columns support the frame and rest on four anti vibration leveling feets. The frame is to be assembled at site.
Loading is by hydraulic jacks on traveling carriages. Accessories for loading, attachment of dial gauges , and stabilization of the experiment plane frame are provided.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
Verification of structure deflection under loads.
