This flexural frame is designed with rollers for center and two point loading on concrete

These tests are significantly affected by the actual frame stiffness therefore the relevant IS Standards state stiffness limits which are exceeded by this 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 specimen concrete beams.
