PURPOSE: A loading apparatus for a heating furnace is provided to carry out a heating-coupled fire-resistance experiment by applying a uniform load to a beam or slab type sample. CONSTITUTION: A loading apparatus for a heating furnace comprises a main body(120), a frame(150), a pressing unit(210), and a slab type tool(300). The main body includes an inner wall(112) made of a fireproof material and an inner heating space(116) in which a beam type sample(Sa) or a slab type sample(Sb) is mounted and heated. The frame is able to move along the length of the main body with wheels rolling on a rail arranged on both sides of the main body. The pressing unit is installed on the upper part of the frame and comprises wheels to move in the traverse direction of the main body.
