Located at Center Hill Research Center, the University of Cincinnati
Large Scale Test Facility (UCLSTF) is a state-of-art laboratory for
testing of large-scale structural members, components, and
subassemblies. The laboratory is served by a 30-ton overhead crane with
a 5-ton auxiliary hook, and two 60-gallon per minute (gpm)
pumps that can be
operated simultaneously to produce 120 gpm. This facility is equipped
with computerized controllers capable of controlling up to simultaneous
control of six actuators, data acquisition systems, and a comprehensive
array of sensors to allow complex master-slave static and dynamic
loading of large to full-scale structural components and systems. The
laboratory has a variety of tension/compression servo controlled
hydraulic actuators with capacities raging from 15 kips to 350 kips. In
addition to the main machine shops on the main campus, the laboratory
has a machine
shop for fabrication of specimens, test fixtures, etc.
This unique laboratory is equipped to allow testing of full-scale bridge
girders and other linear elements up to 108' long, and full-scale
buildings up to 2 stories high. New concepts and systems can be
evaluated at this facility. Participation of researchers and engineers
in Ohio and across the country is welcomed. For further information,
contact UCLSTF's director, Dr. Bahram M. Shahrooz.
