Range of Experiments
Measurement of the redundant moment at the central support in a two span continuous beam
Description
The
model is built on a pressed steel base with plastic piers that support a
single span flexible steel beam on swivelling bearings which can
accommodate horizontal movement while enabling external moments to be
applied and measured. An inserted locking pin makes a fixed end.
Rotation of the beam at the support is shown by a large coloured pointer
moving across a dual scale, the coarse one being readily seen at 10 m
distance. Dual deflection scales on adjustable vertical posts enable
displacements to be measured and seen at 10 m distance. The two spans of
the beam have a screw straining device for imposing a fixed rotation
between the two spans.
This equipment is part of a range designed
to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic engineering
principles. Great care has been given to each item so as to provide wide
experimental scope without unduly complicating or compromising the
design. Each piece of apparatus is self-contained and compact. Setting
up time is minimal, and all measurements are made with the simplest
possible instrumentation, so that the student involvement is purely with
the engineering principles being taught. A complete instruction manual
is provided describing the apparatus, its application, experimental
procedure and typical test results.
