Structural Testing
A typical composed portal frame includes several portal frames, side supporters (used as reaction wall) and connecting beams and other necessary parts. These parts connected together by bolts to form a closed loading space with adjustable wide and height. The foot of the column is connected to the reaction foundation by anchor bolts. A normal composed load frame picture shows bellow.
Components
- The main loading beam
- The side supporter
- The reaction concrete foundation with T-slots
- The column which is connected together with the reaction foundation
- The two small beams
- The Actuator can fix at different places on the main crossbeam
- A typical column specimen for the seismic performance
