Specifications:

• The long and short sections of the teak wood beam are connected by hinge.
• Shear force measurement arrangement.
• Beam 1 mtr. span with supports.
• Weight set with loading hangers.
• Bending moment measurement arrangement .
• Spirit level to restore the loaded beam to original position.
• A spring balance with adjusting screw mounted at a fixed distance enables one to calculate the bending moment for any load position.
• This along with a spring balance and its adjustable screw is used for determining the shear force at the hinge section.

Range of experiments:

• Determination of shear force for different loading conditions.
• Determination of bending moment for different loading conditions.
• Influence line diagram for bending moment & shear force.
• The technical manual accompanies the unit.
