The Lines of Influence on the Gerber Beam Apparatus, manufactured by Atto Labware, is an educational system designed to demonstrate influence lines for reactions, shear forces, and bending moments in Gerber beams. It helps students visualize the effect of moving loads on continuous beams, making it an essential teaching tool for engineering colleges, technical institutes, and vocational training centers.

Educational Objectives
Students will be able to:

• Understand the concept of influence lines in structural analysis.

• Study the behavior of a Gerber beam under moving loads.

• Analyze reactions, shear forces, and bending moments.

• Visualize load effects using plotted influence lines.

• Verify theoretical influence line diagrams with experimental results.

Performance Measurement

• Demonstration of influence lines on a Gerber beam.

• Measurement of reactions and internal forces under moving loads.

• Observation of shear and bending variations along the beam.

• Validation of theoretical analysis with experimental data.

• Analysis of structural response under dynamic load placement.

Panel and Instruments / Components

• Gerber beam mounted on a rigid base frame.

• Movable load system with calibrated weights.

• Supports and joints to simulate continuous beam conditions.

• Scales and measuring devices for accurate plotting.

• Instructional panel and manuals for guided learning.

• Durable, safe, and portable construction for laboratory use.
