    Haikal
    This document describes a high stiffness flexural frame for testing advanced construction materials like fiber reinforced concrete. The frame has a maximum capacity of 350 kN and features high rigidity of 200 kN/mm. It can test a variety of specimen sizes and shapes, including beams up to 880mm long and round panels up to 800mm diameter. The frame uses a load cell for measurement and counterweights to return the piston. Accessories like different support rollers and displacement transducers are also described.

    MAIN FEATURES

    High rigidity (200 kN/mm), especially suitable for testing FRC and sprayed concrete
    For testing different kind of specimens (beams, flagstones, slab) having max length 880mm.
    Suitable for testing Round panel dia.800mm to ASTM C1550
    Load measurement by load cell
    Piston return by counterweights
    Piston travel limit switch included

    GENERAL DESCRIPTION

    This high stiffness flexural frame has been especially designed for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction
    materials, e.g. fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) and sprayed concrete.
    These tests are significantly affected by the actual frame stiffness therefore the relevant international Standards state
    stiffness limits which are exceeded by this new model (better than 200 kN/mm).
    This remarkable result comes from the frame sections but it is also derived from the particular layout which keeps the
    specimen aligned with the frame crossbeams maximizing structural rigidity.

    The new layout also allows easier frontal specimen loading and positioning.

    The horizontal daylight accommodates large specimens (slab, flagstones), concrete beams and kerbs long up to 880 mm.
    In addition the frame is suitabe to host round FRC slab to ASTM C1550.

    The frame is fitted with high precision load cell (recommended for FRC testing), piston travel limit switch and connection kit to
    the control console. Bearers not included. See accessories.
