A universal testing machine for tensile and compressive load tests, equipped with two additional actuators (1 unit)

The Department of Steel and Composite Structures at ETH Zurich is planning to procure a new universal testing machine for the construction hall at the Hönggerberg site. The equipment is intended to test large-scale components under realistic static and dynamic loads, thereby supporting future research in steel, composite and earthquake engineering. The main applications include “centric and eccentric compression tests […] with the optional ability to apply tensile forces”. The project is being led by Dominik Werne,...
