Flexural tests of Concrete and Steel Beams

To enhance the longevity and safety of bridges and similar structures, civil engineering firms routinely test steel and concrete beams in laboratories. This necessitates the need for solutions to provide quick and accurate measurements

1. Problem

To improve the longevity and safety of bridges and similar structures, civil engineering firms often conduct tests on steel and concrete beams in laboratories. The objective is to determine how these beams deform, move, or even buckle under extreme loads. This helps assess the performance and durability of the materials and understand how they respond to pressure. To monitor these changes, engineers use precise measurement instruments capable of detecting even the slightest movements. This allows them to closely monitor and accurately assess the structural changes under load, enabling them to take necessary measures to improve the performance and safety of the structure.

2. Solutions

Solartron Metrology provides LVDT sensors that meet the needs of steel and concrete beams for Flexural tests, including:

- High Resolution: Solartron LVDTs offer resolution up to 0.01 micron, showing the slightest change in measurement that Linear Encoders cannot provide.

- Rapid Response: Any change in measurement is immediately output to any data logger or PC, with no signal delay.

- Endurance: Solartron sensors have been tested to millions of cycles, and are built in a stainless steel casing to withstand years of abuse, including vibration and heat. Special high temp and low temp versions are available.

- Customization: Elements such as special length cables or tips can be added. For harsher elements, transducers can be sealed to IP 67 or built to withstand extreme temperatures.

- Multiple Outputs: Solartron offers DC, 4-20mA, TTL, and other analog output options.

- Digital Option: In addition, Solartron’s Digital Orbit® network offers a calibrated, digital unit, and enables multiple, synchronized readings into a PC or PLC.

Solartron transducers come in various configurations and can output data to information collection systems in formats such as DC, 4-20mA, and Digital.

It can be used to connect multiple LVDT sensors, as well as Load Cells or other measurement instruments for a Flexure Test on a Steel Beam.
