Structural Load Test

In most cases a proof load test is performed by applying force for a specific time generally ranging from between 1 1 to 1 5 times of the design load or maximum allowable working load mawl.

Structural load test.

When structural safety or performance is in question our on site structural load testing capabilities can determine structural soundness gauge damaged conditions or construction deficiencies and verify effectiveness of repairs and retrofits. Located in buchanan michigan clark s structural lab features one of the larger load test substructures commercially available throughout the us. The load test results and the structural analysis indicated that all the existing sections are adequate to resist the code prescribed load and that the lateral load resisting systems did not require to be reinforced.

A test article of the stage adapter that will connect the orion spacecraft to a united launch alliance delta iv rocket has aced testing. Alternatively there could be a need to prove performance for verification reasons or even strength following a fire. Structural fatigue and load testing for over 28 years clark testing s structural test laboratory has been active in static load fatigue load and dynamic load testing services. In situ load testing is a valuable tool used in the evaluation and repair of concrete structures.

Adhering to relevant industry and international testing codes and standards our engineers conduct. We supply install and monitor structural load testing and instrumentation systems on bridges structures and structural components to assess serviceability and compliance with en standards. Load test solutions carry out full scale load testing of floor slabs beams columns and stairs. A change of use could be proposed for the building requiring the addition of supplementary floor or perhaps heavy plant.

The mts flextest controller is a reconfigurable load control system that can conduct both static and fatigue test programs using the latest in. Typically performed as a static pull test the proof load test is considered a complementary test that provides structural and safety assurances. Load control for fatigue applications is typically accomplished using cyber computer controlled servo feedback control systems or one of our new mts 140 channel flextest structural test controllers. Structural load testing could be required for a number of reasons.
