Structural Engineering Laboratories
This facility consists of two laboratories that include:
- A 33m X 17m reaction-loading floor with a 10 ton gantry crane
- High capacity load reactionary frames with a maximum height of 7m
and spans up to 5m
- MTS cyclic loading system with a range of hydraulic actuators from
100kN to 1000 kN
- Manual hydraulic loading actuators ranging from 2kN to 1000kN
- Dynamic and static computer controlled data acquisition for load,
strain and deflection
- Masonry wall racking loading systems for earthquake simulation
- Masonry wall testing system for simulating foundation movement due
to reactive soils
- Universal testing machines in the range of 2kN to 1800kN
- Extensive workshop to support the special needs of structures
testing
- A large range of frames and assemblies for reaction loading
- Simulated wind load panel testing system
- Ridge and knee joint testing apparatus
- A range of force, deflection and strain measurement systems
- Cyclone impact test rig
