ST 01.2 – Frame Study

This equipment is designed for the detailed study of in-plane deformation of portal-type structures under various loads. It is supplied with two types of frames: a “U”-shaped frame and a gable roof frame, allowing for the simulation and analysis of different structural conditions.

Description

The equipment features an advanced fixed support system and an articulated sliding support, ensuring secure and precise fixation of the structures during testing.

To measure deformation at various points of the structure, at least one ST.Z.02 displacement measurement system is required. It is recommended to use at least two measurement systems.

Additionally, to apply loads at different points on the structure, the ST.Z.01 loading system is essential, ensuring controlled and uniform distribution of the applied forces.

Learning Objectives
  • Study of the deformation of frames in the U form and two waters.
  • Support study:
    • Embedment
    • Sliding articulated support
  • Comparison between calculated and measured displacements.
  • Application of the superposition principle.
