- 100-kip Structural Actuator
|
- Structural Actuators are "stand alone" hydraulic pistons inserted into
experiments as necessary. This one, testing the lateral strength of highway glare
screens made of recycled plastic, is bolted to a 2-foot thick, very stiff, reinforced
concrete reaction wall allowing both tensile and compressive loads to be applied to the
specimen. It will be used to apply lateral loads to specimens in conjunction with
our new 200 kip system.

- 200-kip Actuator in Custom Frame
|
- Designed by our professors to be both versatile and stiff, shoehorned into the high head
space of our new Structures Lab, this new system will allow us to test larger and stronger
structural specimens than ever before. The dual channel TestStar Controller is able
to control both the 100 kip and 200 kip actuators in coordination with each other or
independently.
