Abstract: A module is used to configuring a multi-modular weighbridge. In one configuration, adjacent modules are coupled so that the modules bear as a unit upon the at least one load cell. In another configuration, the adjacent modules are coupled so that the modules bear independently upon associated load cells. In this latter configuration, a fastener assembly that couples the modules has a first fastener portion, affixed to an interior of each of the proximate compartments; and a second fastener portion connecting each of the first fastener portions to the other, the second fastener portion arranged to allow relative vertical movement of the modules while effectively restrictly any relative horizontal movement of the modules. In an embodiment, each first fastener portion has a clevis for receiving a tang provided by the second fastener portion, such that a clevis pin securing the tang is parallel to a horizontal plane of the module.

Abstract: A module for configuring a weighbridge has a rectangular frame with a pair of parallel side edges and a pair of parallel end edges, which are shorter than the side edges, and a pair of rails, parallel to the side edges and affixed to the end edges. The rails and end edges define an interior of the rectangular frame, arranged to have concrete poured therein. There are also means for increasing the ability of the poured concrete to handle tensile forces, located in the interior. A first of these is a plurality of rebar chair strips for locating and retaining rebars. Each of these has an elongate metal bar with a lower edge and an upper edge, along which a plurality of rebar support sites are provided in spaced-apart relationship.
