Tension Coefficients
The equipment demonstrates the use of tension coefficients in resolving three dimensional forces. It is to be used with ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
A space frame is constructed from two tension members and one compression member. Each member has a built-in spring balance. The three members are joined together at an apex where a load is suspended. The other end of the compression member is a ball joint fixed to the bed and the other ends of the tension members have chains for attachment to two stationary columns. All joints can be slightly swiveled to minimize fixing moment. Resulting force for each member is measured by a three dimensions co-ordinate scale.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
- Calculation of the forces induced, using the method of tension coefficients
- Determination of the forces induced in individual frame members
- Comparison of experimental and theoretical results

Structures and AccessoriesTwo-Hinged Parabolic Arch
The equipment allows direct measurement of the horizontal component of the abutment thrust of a two hinged parabolic arch by using a simple model. It is to be used with ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
A parabolic arch of uniform cross-section has one end of the arch on a fixed hinged pin and the other is on bearings on a horizontal force support.
The horizontal movement of the roller end is monitored by a dial indicator. Measurement of horizontal thrust by the roller end is by using a pulley and a load hanger.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Demonstration of the characteristics of a two-pinned arch
- Examination of the relationship between applied loads and horizontal thrust
- Comparison of behavior to simplified theory

Structures and AccessoriesEquilibrium of a Beam
This equipment is used for measurement of support reactions of a simple beam or cantilever in equilibrium under different loads. It is to be used with ST305 Universal Base Frame or ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
The beam is supported by two weighing machines with knife edges fixed on to the pan. Load hanger with weights are hung on the beam between the two supports. In the case of a cantilever, a spring balance and a weighing machine are used.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Principle of Moments.
