Structural design
Test planning and execution incl. test evaluation
Special features:
- Execution of ultimate load tests on 8 prestressed concrete purlins until complete failure
- Determination of the maximum load capacity, the type of failure (failure with or without prior notice), the deformation behavior and the material characteristics
- Development of a transportable test frame for sampling prefabricated beams (length up to 12 m) in the building or in the test field
- Adaptation of the test framework to local conditions
- Simulation of a vertically acting uniform line load over the duration of the test
- Fulfillment of the requirements for a test-based component design through precise manufacturing conditions and a clever choice of design
- Exclusion of external disturbance variables on data acquisition
- Result: Confirmation of the increase in the originally specified load capacity by 30 %
