German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Load tests to determine structural behaviour of walls
German term or phrase: Lastschiene
nb. third of a series of five or six questions re. the same text

The relevant paragraph describes a test set-up in a structural engineering laboratory (testing facility) used to determine the structural behaviour of timber wall elements/components. Here goes (term in ***):

"Die Versuchsanordnung für die experimentelle Ermittlung der Last-Verschiebungs-Zusammenhänge für raumhohe PUR-Wandelemente unter Schubbeanspruchungen besteht im wesentlichen aus ...
- einer mit Nagelplatten versehenen ***Lastschiene***, die mit einer Anschlussplatte für den hydraulischen Linearzylinder (Bild 14) versehen ist..."

Unfortunately no picture.
My attempt: load rail

I'm specifically looking for an AE term, if any.

MTIA once again for your help,
