CIVIL ENGINEERING TESTS

Civil Engineering and its branches such as Structural Mechanics, Earthquake Engineering, Materials, Geotechnics, Soil, Coastal & Harbor Engineering require a large number of laboratory testing.

Large forces and high precision required in these tests can be achieved using servo-hydraulic loading systems and actuators. 


TDG is the only manufacturer that specializes in providing the all-around technical solution for civil engineering laboratories in terms of integrated servo-test actuators, shake tables, data acquisition systems & sensors.



Shake-Table Tests

Shake-Table Tests

Shake table tests are becoming widespread each & every day. Prestigious laboratories prefer large-scale shake table tests since this method produces the most realistic earthquake simulation.

Frame Pushover Tests

Frame Pushover Tests

These are standart tests where horizontal load is applied to concrete or steel frames in a static manner. Vertical actuators are used to represent the dead weight over the structural component.

Multi-Axis Pushover Tests

Multi-Axis Pushover Tests

These tests include multiple horizontal loading points, therefore multiple actuators, where the system can adjust the load or displacement of one actuator depending on instantaneous load or displacement value of other actuators.

Structural Material Tests

Structural Material Tests

These are the tests where materials are subject to cyclic loading either horizontally or vertically.

Real Structure Tests

Real Structure Tests

Aside from laboratory testing, Civil Engineering Tests can also be practised using real structures.

Pseudo-Dynamic Testing

Pseudo-Dynamic Testing

PSD Tests use a previously recorded earthquake and apply small steps slowly, while measuring the response of the structure in order to determine the next step.
