When in use, the base plate 1 is fixed on the front wall of the reaction wall 9 of the structural laboratory. A semicircular inner ring reinforcement beam 2 with an axis extending in the up-down direction is fixed on the front plate surface of the base plate. When in use, the inner ring reinforcement beam 2 is coaxially arranged with the component model 8 to be tested.

[0019] A plurality of loading beams 5 are welded and fixed on the outer periphery of the inner ring reinforcement beam 2 and are radially distributed with the axis of the inner ring reinforcement beam as the center. The loading beams 5 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the inner ring reinforcement beam, and the length of each loading beam extends along the radial direction of the inner ring reinforcement beam. An outer ring reinforcement beam 4 is arranged between the ends of each loading beam away from the inner ring reinforcement beam, and a hydraulic loading cylinder 6 is arranged at the end of each loading beam away from the inner ring reinforcement beam, i.e., the outer end. The loading end of the hydraulic loading cylinder 6 is provided with a force transmission plate 7 adapted to the inner wall of the component model 8 to be tested. The force transmission plate 7 in this embodiment is an arc-shaped plate.

[0025] When in use, the inner structural member is pushed horizontally to the reaction wall along the reaction pedestal by using the fixed bracket legs, the height of the inner loading beam section is adjusted by extending and retracting the fixed bracket legs, and then the base plate is fixed to the reaction wall. According to the radius of the model of the component to be tested, the outer structural member corresponding to the length of the outer loading beam section is selected, and the outer structural member is pushed horizontally to the inner structural member along the reaction pedestal by using the reinforced beam legs, the height of the outer loading beam section is adjusted by using the reinforced beam legs, and then each outer loading beam section is fixed to the corresponding inner loading beam section by bolts, and both ends of the component to be tested are also fixed to the reaction wall, the piston rods of each hydraulic loading cylinder are extended synchronously, and the force transmission plate contacts the inner wall of the component to be tested to transmit force, so that the component to be tested can be uniformly loaded in the annular direction from the inside to the outside, so as to simulate the actual stress condition of the circular structure in actual use, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the design of the circular structure.
