METHOD TO TEST SUPPORTS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01M5/00 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: during implementation of the method they install a tested structure into horizontal position and fix it on an anchor structure, install blocks onto the tested support and anchor structure, and connect the blocks by a rope, which by one end is fixed on the anchor structure, and by the other one - connected to a power element. The anchor structure is made in the form of an L-shaped frame, to the end of the short cantilever they attach a tested support, and the other cantilever is aligned in parallel to the tested support. Blocks installed on the support are placed so that a perpendicular line drawn down from them divides the section between adjacent blocks on the anchored structure into unequal parts, namely: a part of the section that is closer to a unit of support resting is more than the remaining one.

EFFECT: simplified testing process, increased accuracy of test load modelling.
