Title:

Test Setup for Simulating Controlled Settlement / Upliftment of Civil Structures

Value Proposition:

The setup allows for the prediction of behaviour in Civil structures (Concrete/masonry) under settlement, which is crucial for preventing failures.

Summary Application:

• Academic Research: The setup is valuable for academic purposes, allowing researchers to study and understand the failure modes of various structures under settlement.

• Commercial Testing: It can also be utilized for commercial purposes, offering a means to test and validate the performance of structures in controlled settlement conditions.

• Field Application: The device is portable and can be used to rehabilitate/uplift a structure in controlled manner.

Advantages:

Controlled Simulation: It provides a controlled environment for simulating settlement, allowing for precise testing conditions. 

Versatility: The device is versatile and can be used to simulate settlement in various types of structures, including arches, domes, and vaults.                               

Adjustable Displacement Range: The setup can undergo a wide range of displacements, from 20mm/min to 1400mm/min, providing flexibility in testing conditions.
