This high stiffness flexural frame has been especially designed for displacement controlled testing on advanced construction materials,

These tests are significantly affected by the actual frame stiffness therefore the relevant international Standards state stiffness limits which are exceeded by this new model.

This remarkable result comes from the frame sections but it is also derived from the particular layout which keeps the specimen aligned with the frame crossbeams maximizing structural rigidity.

The new layout also allows easier frontal specimen loading and positioning.

The horizontal daylight accommodates large specimens (slab, flagstones)

In addition the frame is suitable to host round FRC slab.
