Continuous And Indeterminate Beams Apparatus

Product Description

Description of Continuous and Indeterminate Beams Apparatus

Three piers measure vertical reaction forces with their integral load cell which connect directly to the Interface. Each pier caters for simply supported, or Continuous and Indeterminate Beams Apparatus and their beam attachments allow for rotation but no vertical movement during testing.

Sinking supports can be studied due to the fact that each reaction pier has a height adjustment system and integral dial gauge attached. Continuous and Indeterminate Beams Apparatus a fourth pier clamps a cantilever or the fixed end of a beam. A double pulley assembly provides vertical loading of the beam. Point loads and uniformly distributed loads can be applied to the beams using the set of calibrated weights and hangers supplied.
