Advanced Material Testing facility is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, a reaction floor and a reaction wall, which are used for testing of structures subjected to vertical and lateral loads. The laboratory has the facility to test pre-stressed girders up to 110 ft. long. Equipment includes a Portal Frame designed to work with the 5000 kN Pseudo Dynamic Test System. This system consists of 2 large structural H beams to provide the vertical support and is mountable to the reaction floor. Complete system includes 5000 kN actuator, Hydraulic Power Supply, Hydraulic Service Manifold, Digitally supervised analogue servo controls, Pseudo dynamic application software, and a 300-channel data acquisition system. Other equipment includes a Dynamic Hydraulic Linear Actuator 55 kip (250 kN), a Dynamic Hydraulic Linear Actuator 110 kip (500 kN), a Structural Test Hydraulic Actuator 220/335 kip (1000/1500kN), a Hydraulic Linear Actuator 450/600 kip (2000 kN/2670 kN), 300 Channel Data Acquisition System, LVDTs, and Load Cells. New addition in lab facility includes 06 hydraulic cylinders (600kN / 750kN / 1500kN / 1600kN). The facility is now shared and being administered by the Department of Earthquake Engineering.
