load tests on components from steelwork and civil engineering
| Code | SE100 |
Description:
- The demands of modern, technically sophisticated designs require a solid understanding of the strength and deformation of components.
- Different load states can be simulated in load experiments and the reaction to the load recorded and analysed.
- This makes it possible to demonstrate the load bearing capacity of the design by means of experiment.
- The SE 100frame for load tests has been designed specifically for experiments in the fields of steelwork and civil engineering. Large components at a 1:1 scale is studied.
- The frame is delivered in prefabricated parts that must be assembled on site.
- This makes it possible to transport the separate parts through normal doorways.
- The frame is set up on four adjustable and vibration-damping feet.
- The generous operating area is designed as a double frame so that longer components can also be studied.
- The design of the frame means experiments can be conducted quickly and without complicated assembly.
- The unit offers a very wide range of possibilities in conjunction with the accessories and the load application device.
- The hydraulically operated load application device, available as accessory SE 100.12, includes a double-action hydraulic cylinder and a hand-operated pump mounted on a table.
- The load application device is mounted on rollers and can be positioned at any point on the upper cross-member of the frame.
- Depending on the experimental setup, it is also possible to use two load application devices (SE 100.02) and therefore generate several forces.
- The bending is indicated by means of dial gauges, available as accessory SE 100.03.
- Large components such as reinforced concrete beams, girders or steel frames can be subjected to loads and investigated experimentally.
- The SE 100.04accessory is available for experiments on trusses.
- The forces on typical bars of the truss are recorded by means of strain gauges.
