This is a technical drawing set for the CEAC Load Frame, a structural steel testing apparatus designed and drawn by the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the United States Military Academy, West Point, NY. The drawings were prepared by Dr. Kevin McMullen and approved by LTC Chris Graves, dated March 11, 2026.

The structure consists of a comprehensive steel frame assembly with the following major components: two W14x132 columns (240 inches long, 2,640 lbs each), one W27x178 beam (79.75 inches long, 1,183 lbs), four short braces and four long braces fabricated from HSS4x4x1/4 hollow structural sections, two side braces of similar material, and various steel plates including column base plates, beam plates, floor brace plates, column brace plates, column side plates, and stiffener plates. All steel plates are specified as A572-Gr. 50 material. The frame assembly includes detailed hole patterns with 15/16-inch diameter holes (typical spacing) for bolted connections and welded connections for critical joints including column-to-base, long braces, short braces, side braces, and beam assemblies. Stiffeners are welded on all four sides of the beam assembly. The complete structure is detailed across multiple sheets showing materials lists, plate details, component welds, plan views, elevations, and cross-sections at various scales (1:20, 1:30, 1:50). A tolerance of 1/32 inch is specified for fabrication. The structure is designed to function as a load frame for civil engineering testing purposes.
