Continuous Beam
Continuous Beam apparatus measures reactions of a two-span beam with or without support settlement. For use with ST300 Universal Structural Frame.
The equipment is used for measurement of the reactions of a two-span continuous beam with and without settlement of a support. It is to be used with ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
The equipment consists of a two-span continuous beam supported by two vertical force supports and a built-in/knife edge support. The settlement of each load measuring support is measured by a dial indicator and can be simulated by height compensation mechanism. Three movable load hangers with a set of weights for downward as well as upward loading are provided. Each beam deflection is measured by a dial indicator.
Instruction manual is also included.
- Principle of moments.
- Reactions for a point load along a simply supported beam.
- Reactions for a continuous beam.
- Deflection of a simply supported beam.
