DEFLECTION OF FRAMES

A rectangular portal frame and an 'S' frame made from rectangular solid steel section are provided with either pinned ends or simple supports, enabling each frame to be set up in a universal frame and stand (sold separately) and loaded horizontally and vertically. One end of the portal frame pivots on a knife edge, while the other end is free to move horizontally on a track plate against a load cell. Horizontal reactions are monitored using the integral load cell within the track plate. Learn about DEFLECTION OF FRAMES structures India for optimal educational outcomes..
