ABSTRACT: An hydraulically controlled plate loading system mounted to a 100 T mobile load frame was deployed to capture the response from a series of 9 full-scale working platforms. The 9 trials subjected each platform to cyclic loading via 1 m2 square load plate. Results are presented in terms of shakedown response for comparison and interpretation. These trials will serve as the baseline data for future numerical simulations and laboratory-scale physical modeling.


RÉSUMÉ: Un système de chargement par plaque, contrôlé hydrauliquement et monté sur un cadre mobile de 100 tonnes, a été déployé pour mesurer la réponse d'une série de 9 plateformes de travail à grande échelle. Les 9 essais ont soumis chaque plateforme à un chargement cyclique à l’aide d’une plaque de charge carrée de 1 m². Les résultats sont présentés en termes de réponse au shakedown pour permettre la comparaison et l’interprétation. Ces essais serviront de données de référence pour de futures simulations numériques et des modélisations physiques à l’échelle du laboratoire.
