data display for load tests

SOFTWARE DEDICATED TO DISPLAY AND STORAGE OF DATA ACQUIRED DURING LOAD TESTS Description Software dedicated to display and storage of data acquired during load tests on floors or other load-bearing elements carried out with M.A.E. instruments. Test consists in producing, on a longitudinal line of the floor, one or more concentrated forces. The forces are calculated so as to produce the same maximum state of stress laid down in the design for applying the distributed load. When data receiving starts, software records measurements in input, displays them and creates graphics in real time. Load value can be read automatically or entered manually. Reading of data may be continuous in real time or at manual intervals with recording of the data decided by user. Data and Graphics displayed in real time. Possibility of analysing graphic for one or more channels simultaneously. Report creation with tables of read measurements and generated graphics. Accepts LAN and USB connections The load tests have the primary objective to compare the experimental arrows obtained during the testing phase and the theoretical arrows of the project, in order to evaluate the deformation profile of the element tested. The test loads used can be distributed (bricks, blocks or cement bags, water tanks) or similar concentrates (hydraulic jacks). The tests that use similar concentrated loads can be of pull or push test type. the result of the load tests and elastic behaviour of the structure is represented through load/shift graphs and hysteresis curves.
