It is to be used with Universal Structural Frame. An elastic beam is supported at both ends by moment supports. Both supports permit the application and measurement of moments and rotations. The Virtual Work equipment is used for applying the principle of virtual work to the derivation of redundant reactions. A third support, vertical force support, is used for the case of two span continuous beam. The deflection and slope of the beam can be measured by dial indicators. A clamp on moment application device with a mean to counter balance the device weight is provided to apply a pure moment and measure rotation. The beam is loaded by weights.

Computer interface unit and software are included. The Virtual Work Computer Assist set has the same accessories as except Moment Supports are replaced by Moment Load Cells, and Vertical Force Support is replaced by Vertical Force Load Cell.
