Portal Frame apparatus is used to examine the horizontal reactions, fixing moments and direction of sway of two rectangular portal frames subjected to vertical loading.
This bench-top model simulates a single bay portal frame, subjected to a variety of loads. Can be arranged to test square, rectangular and asymmetric portals.
Deflection is measured by a dial indicator and the horizontal and vertical reactions by spring balances. Hinged or built-in end. Bending moment system. Load hangers and weights set included.
