Procedure:
1. Place a load on the hanger to activate the member and treat this as the initial position for measuring
deflections.
2. Fix the dial gauges for measuring horizontal and vertical deflections.
3. Place the additional loads at the steps mentioned in the table below for each case and tabulate the
values of dial gauge reading against the applied loads.
4. Plot the graph load Vs deflection for each case to show that the structure remains within the elastic
limit.
5. Measure the value of R and straight length in each case. Find width and depth of steel section and
calculate the value of I as bd 3/12.
