[Case Study] Shell Element Test System Upgrade

The expertise and technology of MTS played a crucial role in the success of the upgrade.

Professor Evan Bentz from the University of Toronto and a research group from the Mark Hagin Structural Research Institute are conducting cutting-edge research on the properties of reinforced concrete under harsh conditions. With recent significant advances in concrete materials science, the engineers at the institute began to feel the limitations of their research tool, the Shell Element Test (SET) system. They believed that to successfully upgrade the SET system, they needed a vendor who could first clarify what was possible, and then another vendor to implement it. They found a manufacturer that could achieve both simultaneously: MTS. By early 2010, the upgrade of the SET system was completed, and this static testing system effectively transformed into a dynamic testing system with enhanced durability and performance. The upgraded SET system now allows for simulations that closely resemble the actual operating conditions of today’s reinforced concrete structures.
