Universal Test Frame: 300kN
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 feet. 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.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
Verification of structure deflection under loads.

Structures and AccessoriesBending Moment
This equipment is used for measurement of bending moment on a section of a beam from which comparison with theoretical values can be made. It is to be used with ST305 Universal Base Frame or ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
The beam has two parts with a ball bearing hinge at the joint. An underhung spring balance holds the hinge in
compression, hence resists bending moment. The beam rests on two round supports. Load hangers and weights slide along the beam.Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- Visual demonstration of the Shear Force and Bending Moment at a cut section in a beam
- Variation in bending moment for variations in load, load position and load arrangement
- Comparison of experimental results with theoretical values and bending moment diagrams

Structures and AccessoriesVirtual Work
The equipment is used for applying the principle of virtual work to the derivation of redundant reactions. It is to be used with ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
An elastic beam is supported at both ends by one moment support and one built-in / knife edge support. Moment support permit the application and measurement of moment and rotation. A vertical force support, is used for the case of two span continuous beam. A clamp on moment application device with a mean to counter balance the device weight is provided to apply a pure moment and measure rotation. The beam is loaded by weights. The deflection and slope of the beam can be measured by dial indicators.
Instruction manual is also included.
