Test loading on roof structure of sports hall in Pale

Abstract

This paper treats the principle of static testing on braced girder of a sport hall built by the primary school "Srbija" in Pale. During testing simulated snow load was performed on the roof and was applied on a major steel braced (three ‐ band) roof grider, with span L = 23 m. The following measurements and observations were performed: measurement of vertical deflection at L/2, L/4 and L/8 of structure span; measurement of displacements of supports; measurement of local deformation and permanent deflection and deformation after unloading, and than these values were compared to the designed values.
