TESTING OF SPORT EQUIPMENT – SUSPENDET BASKETBALL BACKSTOP BY TRIAL LOAD

The paper presents the results of testing a sports equipment structure (suspended basketball backstop) using trial loading. The structure was examined under the influence of static and dynamic loads in accordance with the standard SRPS U.M1.047, and following a testing protocol developed in line with the standard for playground equipment – basketball equipment (SRPS EN 1270). The tests on the foldable structure of the suspended backstop were conducted on an actual (installed) structure mounted in a sports hall in Kraljevo. During the trial loading, measurements of global deformations (deflections) and local deformations (strains) of the tested structure were carried out.
