Virtual Testing of Prototypes Using Test Frame Designed for Lateral Load
Structures such as Retaining Walls, Sheet piles, Frames, Masonry Walls, and Poles are subjected to lateral load. They are designed considering lateral load. lateral load-carrying capacity is an important factor for these structures. For verification of lateral load-carrying capacity of structures, lateral load testing of the actual prototype of such structures is needed. A vertical load testing facility is mostly available in laboratories but a lateral load testing facility is very rarely available. The lateral load testing facility is available in some of the engineering institutions in India, such as IIT Kanpur, SERC Chennai, and IIT Guwahati. During the testing of prototypes, an adequate reaction must be provided by the reaction wall specially manufactured for the lateral load test setup. The reaction wall should act as rigid lateral support and should not deflect during testing. This work includes the development and design of a reaction frame for Lateral load testing. The reaction frame is designed in such a way that prototypes of different dimensions can be tested. The designed reaction frame is used for virtual testing of the shear wall, retaining wall, and steel frame by using finite element software STAAD PRO. Obtained deflection results of the reaction frame and prototypes are analyzed. The results showed that the designed reaction frame is rigid enough to test different prototypes for lateral loading. As lateral load test setup is rarely available, it will have great demand.
