   [Installed d: March in 1997]
  
     
[Summary] This is a loading test apparatus controlled by an electric hydraulic servo-system. Using hydraulic pressure as an energy transmission medium enable to realize large capacity and high-speed loading. In addition , an electric signal transfer system make it possible to operate complicated signals by utilizing electronics technology.This apparatus is also controlled via displacement, acceleration and velocity feedback scheme.
     
[Objective] This is constructed for versatile loading test facility in a structural engineering field. In particular, it is intended for concrete structure experiments considering a large earthquake forces.
