Standard Test Methods for Cyclic (Reversed) Load Test for Shear Resistance of Vertical Elements of the Lateral Force Resisting Systems for Buildings

Importancia y uso:

5.1 These cyclic test methods are intended to measure the performance of vertical elements of the lateral force resisting system subjected to earthquake loads. Since these loads are cyclic, the loading process simulates the actions and their effects on the specimens.

5.2 The monotonic test is intended to provide data from a continuous displacement ramp loading of a matched test specimen with boundary conditions identical to the specimens that will be cyclically tested. The results from the monotonic test, when employed, are primarily intended for defining the amplitudes of load cycles for the three cyclic protocols.

Note 2: The monotonic test is not intended to serve as an equivalent alternative to the cyclic protocols of this Test Method or the procedures of Test Methods E72 or Practice E564.
