General Description
The Portal Frame Unit, "MPO", allows to perform vertical deflection and horizontal deflection measurements in a fixed rectangular portal frames.
To carry out the deflection tests, a series of loads with different weight must be applied to the rectangular portal frame. If the loads are applied on the central hook a vertical deflection will be generated, whereas if they are applied on the pulley included in the unit a horizontal deflection will be generated.
There are two dial gauges to measure the deflections generated.
Exercises and guided practices
GUIDED PRACTICAL EXERCISES INCLUDED IN THE MANUAL
- To determine the experimental value of the vertical deflection in a point subjected to a vertical load in a rectangular portal frame.
- To determine the experimental value of the horizontal deflection in a point subjected to a horizontal load in a rectangular portal frame.
- To determine the experimental value of the vertical and horizontal deflection in two points subjected to two loads, a horizontal load and a vertical load in a rectangular portal frame.
- To compare the theoretical and experimental results.
- To determine the theoretical value of the bending moments and reactions when a vertical deflection is generated.
