IV. Experimental setup and instrumentation
The slabs were tested by placing the slab on a
steel frame which indicates as a simply
supported condition. Now three LVDTs (linear
variable differential transducers) are kept in
diagonal direction below the slab. This gives us
the deflection value of the slab due to
application of load. In this test load was applied
by using a load cell of 2000 KN capacity
through a hydraulic jack. Its initial capacity is
