    1. The document describes an experiment to test the theorem of superposition using a portal frame apparatus. 2. The experiment involves applying horizontal loads at different positions on the frame and measuring the resulting displacements. Three load cases are tested: a single load, two loads applied individually, and both loads applied simultaneously. 3. The results are presented in tables showing the experimental and theoretical displacements. A graph is used to compare the combined loading to the sum of the individual loads to evaluate the theorem of superposition.

    PORTAL FRAME-SUPERPOSITION

    Objective
    To prove the theorem of superposition

    Apparatus
    The apparatus comprise of:
    1. Support Frame
    2. Portal frame
    3. Dial Gauge
    4. Venier caliper
    5. Ruler / tape measure
    6. 1 set of load

    Procedure
    Please refer to appendix for experimental setup
    Load Case 1
    1. Fixed a hanger clip on the vertical member of the portal frame at a predetermine
    location.
    2. Attach a pulley to the vertical member of the support frame at the same level as
    the hanger clip.
    3. Tie a cord to the clip hanger and pass it over the pulley.
    4. Hang a load hanger at the end of the cord to allow horizontal load to be applied
    to the portal frame.
    5. Set the dial gauge reading to zero.
    6. Place a load on the load hanger.
    7. Record the dial gauge reading. This represents the horizontal displacement of
    the roller support.
    8. Increase the load on the load hanger and record the dial gauge reading.
    9. Repeat step 8 for another 4 load increments
    10. Remove all load from the load hanger.

    Load Case 2
    1. Fixed a load hanger on the horizontal member at the location where the load is
    to be applied
    2. Repeat step 5 to 9 above.

    Load Case 3
    1. Fixed a load hanger at location as in load case 1 and another load hanger at
    location as in load case 2.
    2. Repeat step 5 to 9 above. Apply loads similar to load case 1 and 2
    simultaneously to both hangers

    Results
    Width of member = mm
    Thickness of member = mm
    Second moment of area, I = mm
    Dial gauge reading, 1 div = 0.01 mm

    1. Draw the shape of the portal frame under test and give the important
    dimensions. Indicate the positions where the frame is loaded.
    2. Using the data in the Table 4, draw the graph of load verses displacement at the
    roller support for load case 3 and the combined load case 1 and load case 2.
    Draw the best fit curve through the plotted points

    Conclusion
    1. Base on the graphs, draw a conclusion on the theorem of superposition.
    2. State the factors that could influence the results of this experiment.
