Plastic Bending of Portals
- Studies the collapse mechanism of a
portal frame when subjected to simultaneous horizontal and vertical
loading; calculating and verifying position of greatest bending moment
where plastic hinge is likely to form
- The apparatus consists of the test
portals, two ground foundations, loading pulley, loading cords,
proportioning beam, screw jack loading mechanism and deflection
measuring instruments
- The ground foundations provide for pinned or fixed supports.
- Two different shaped portal frames supplied, both typically made from 13x3mm black mild steel and with a span of 300mm
- Screw jack mechanism with integral load cell with output to Interface (sold separately)
- Comprehensive technical manual for student and lecturer and text book provided
- Rectangular portal frames (5 off)
- Symmetrical gable (Pitched) portal frame (5 off)
- Must be used with universal Frame and Stand (sold separately)
- Must be used with Interface (sold separately)
- Comprehensive instruction manual provided
