LAB FACILITIES
-
Structural engineering testing lab at the University of Windsor is one of the largest and tallest in Canada. It has the following key features:
-
Total strong floor area of about 600 sqm. Ceiling height of the lab is about 15 m
-
Two strong walls (each is 11 m tall and 5.7 m long)
-
It has a 20-ton capacity overhead crane, one 5-ton forklift, and one 10 m tall Caesar lift
-
One strong beam with adjustable height (up to 10 m) for application of up to 3000 kN tension-compression loads
-
One tall testing frame for testing of walls of up to 6 m tall
-
One very large 3000 kN capacity loading frame for testing large structural specimens such as bridge decks
-
One loading frame for application of up to 4000 kN axial tension-compression load
-
One small loading frame for testing medium structural testing specimens such as beams and columns
-
Two MTS made fatigue testing actuators and test frames with 500 kN and 250 kN capacities
-
One Instron made test frame for fatigue tests on small samples and materials
-
One MTS made universal loading actuator (1700 kN capacity) with a 30-inch stroke
-
MTS Hydraulic pump with a controller for running MTS fatigue and MTS universal actuators
-
Pressure cycle test facility on pipes and pressure vessels
