German term or phrase: Fallanlage
Hi,

Does anyone have any idea what a "Fallanlage" is? I have seen another term posted here - Fällanlage - and I wonder if the word above is just a typo?

Could anyone shed any light?

A company called DEMAG have been listed as the manufacturer.

Regards,
Alison.

Explanation:
Entsprechend dem Bild des Monats gibt es dieses Mal ein Update, bei dem Bilder aus den 80-90zigern eine Rolle spielen. Fa.Fahrenholz montierte1989 mit ihrem Demag TC 2500 die Spitze des 130 m hohen Fallturm an der Bremer Universität. http://www.schwere-brocken.de/Bergungsfahrzeuge/2010/2011/bo...

FALLTURMANLAGE
The combined drop tower unit with a maximum height of 11 m offers a wide range of possibilities to examine components under dynamic load. Two test configurations are available:
In the free-fall configuration, a maximum free fall height of 11 m is available to accelerate a fall sled, loaded with weights, by gravity. Drop masses of up to 2.5 t (payload in steps of 75 kg) are possible.

Wie verhalten sich Liköre und Kreisel in der Schwerelosigkeit? Das wollen Schüler beim diesjährigen "Drop Tower Project for School Students" herausfinden. Ziel ist der Test im 146 Meter hohen Bremer Fallturm.... Drei Schüler-Teams ... konnten ihre Experimente im zehn Meter hohen Space Tower, der Experiment-Fallanlage des DLR_School_Lab Bremen abwerfen und somit ihr Experiment das erste Mal unter Schwerelosigkeit ausprobieren. https://www.dlr.de/content/de/artikel/news/2017/20170406_sch...

Bei Zugabe des gleichen Volumens PP-Fasern wurde der Beton jedoch extrem steif und war infolgedessen nur schwer verarbeitbar. Im Impaktexperiment in der Fallanlage in beschleunigte Konfiguration zeigten die Faserbetonmischungen ein sehr gutes Verhalten in Bezug auf die Reduzierung von absplitternden Betonteilen.

Good workable concrete was produced when adding short steel fibres. The same volume of polypropylene fibres resulted in a concrete that was extremely stiff and extremely difficult to process. The experiments were conducted at the accelerated drop tower facility of the Otto-Mohr-Laboratory. In this impact experiments, the FRC plates showed a potential to prevent spalling.

Thank you so much for your prompt and detailed response! I went with your translation. (The manufacturer's website wasn't much help, but then the document I was translating is four years old.)
