Experimental Set Suspension Bridge- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Experimental Set Suspension Bridge- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
The set is intended for use with the
universal test frame and demonstrates the behaviour of a suspension
bridge as often to be seen in reality. Tie rods are hung from a double
supporting cord, the length of the rods varies such that the cord is
hung in a parabola shape. The tie rods support a two section roadway
that is equipped with a central hinge to demonstrate the bending moment.
The roadway can be loaded using various weights. Two mechanical
dynamometers measure the bearing forces. The forces in the supporting
cords are measured using a further set of weights. In this way the force
distribution between the cords and roadway is determined for varying
load cases.
