Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Structures Testing Strong Floor

建议在康涅狄格大学土木工程系建造一个测试坚固地板的结构。坚固的底板将是40英尺。宽68英尺。长，有一个4英尺。X4栅格锚杆，每个锚杆的安全工作载荷为100,000磅，装有过载保护仪表，有20英尺长。并由一台容量为25吨的桥式起重机进行维修。区域合作研究将与其他大学、研究机构和行业发展，因此坚固的底板将成为结构测试的区域重点。坚固的地板将允许对不寻常的组件进行定制测试，并服务于该地区，以提高建筑安全。

It is proposed to construct a Structures Testing Strong Floor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Connecticut. The Strong Floor would be 40 ft. wide by 68 ft. long, have a 4 ft. x 4 grid of anchors, each with a safe working load of 100,000 lbs, be instrumented for overload protection, have 20 ft. headroom and be serviced by a 25 ton capacity overhead crane. Regional cooperative research would be developed with other universities, research institutions and industry and so the Strong Floor would be a regional focus for structures testing. The Strong Floor would allow customized testing of unusual assemblies and serve the region to improve construction safety.
