Summary of Test Method4.1 The elastic shear stiffnes
21、s, shear strength and ductility ofwalls are determined by subjecting a wall assembly to full-reversal cyclic racking shear loads. This is accomplished byanchoring the bottom edge of the wall assembly to a rigid baseand applying a force parallel to the top of the wall. The testassembly is allowed to
22、displace in its own plane. As the wallassembly is racked to specified displacement increments, theracking (shear) load and displacements are continuously mea-sured (see 8.7).5. Significance and Use5.1 These test methods are intended to measure the perfor-mance of walls subjected to earthquake loads.
23、 Since theseloads are cyclic, the loading process simulates the actions andtheir effects on the walls.6. Wall Assembly6.1 GeneralThe typical wall assembly consists of a frameon which the elements comprising the wall, including thesheathing (or diagonal bracing members, if applicable) areplaced. The
24、elements shall be fastened to the frame in a mannerto conform to 6.2. Elements used to construct wall assembliesmay be varied to permit anticipated failure of selected ele-ments.6.2 ConnectionsThe performance of framed walls is in-fluenced by the type, spacing, and edge distance of fastenersattachin
25、g sheathing to framing and spacing of the shearconnections and hold-down connectors to the rigid base. All ofthese connections shall be consistent with the types used inactual building connections.6.3 Frame RequirementsThe frame of the wall assemblyshall consist of materials representative of those
26、to be used inFIG. 1 Examples of Observed Hysteresis Curve and Envelope Curves for Method C (continued)E2126073the actual building construction. The connections of thesemembers shall be consistent with those intended in actualbuilding construction.6.3.1 For wood framing members, record the species an
27、dgrade of lumber used; moisture content of lumber at the time offabrication and testing, if more than 24 h passes between theseoperations (see Test Methods D 4442, Method A or B; orD 4444, Method A or B); and specific gravity of the lumber(see Test Methods D 2395, Method A).6.3.2 For steel or other
28、metal framing members, record thematerial specifications and thickness.6.4 Structural Insulated PanelThe panel is prefabricatedassembly consisting of an insulating core of 1.5 in. (38 mm)minimum sandwiched between two facings. The assembly isconstructed by attaching panels together and to top and bo
29、ttomplates or tracks.6.5 Wall SizeThe wall assembly shall have a height andlength or aspect (height/length) ratio that is consistent withintended use requirements in actual building construction (seeFig. 3).7. Test Setup7.1 The wall assembly shall be tested such that all elementsand sheathing surfac
30、es are observable. For assemblies such asframed walls with sheathing on both faces of framing orframeless structural insulated panels, the assemblies are dis-mantled after tests to permit observation of all elements. Thebottom of the wall shall be attached to a rigid base as specifiedin 6.2. The tes
31、t apparatus shall support the wall assembly asnecessary to prevent displacement from the plane of the wall,but in-plane displacement shall not be restricted.8. Procedure8.1 Number of TestsA minimum of two identical wallassemblies shall be tested to determine the elastic shearstiffness and shear stre
32、ngth of a given construction. Thesevalues shall be calculated in accordance with 3.2 and 9.1. Foranalysis, the mean values are permitted to be based on theresults of two walls if the parameters are within 10 % of eachother. Otherwise, the mean values shall be based on the resultsof at least three wa
33、lls.8.2 Apply racking shear load horizontally in the plane of thewall to the top of the wall assembly (along the axis) (Fig. 4)using a programmable double-acting hydraulic actuator withload cell. The cyclic displacement of the actuator shall becontrolled to follow a cyclic displacement procedure des
34、cribedin either 8.3 (Method A), 8.4 (Method B), or 8.5 (Method C).8.3 Method A (Sequential-Phased Displacement Proce-dure):8.3.1 Sequential Phased Displacement (SPD) LoadingProtocolDisplacement-controlled loading procedure that in-volves displacement cycles grouped in phases at incrementallyincreasi
35、ng displacement levels. The cycles shall form either asinusoidal wave or a triangular wave. The SPD loadingFIG. 2 Performance Parameters of Shear-Wall Assembly: (A) Last Point at Pu$ 0.8 PpeakE2126074consists of two displacement patterns and is illustrated in Fig.5. The first displacement pattern co
36、nsists of three phases, eachcontaining three fully-reversing cycles of equal amplitude, atdisplacements representing 25 %, 50 %, and 75 % of antici-pated FME. The second displacement pattern is illustrated inFig. 6. Each phase is associated with a respective displacementlevel and contains one initia
37、l cycle, three decay cycles, and anumber of stabilization cycles. For nailed wood-frame shearwalls, three stabilization cycles are sufficient to obtain astabilized response. The amplitude of each consecutive decaycycle decreases by 25 % of the initial displacement.8.3.2 The schedule of amplitude inc
38、rements between thesequential phases is given in Table 1. The amplitude incre-ments selected for the SPD procedure are based on the FMEand the ductility factor, , determined from the static mono-tonic load test on an identical wall assembly in accordance withPractice E 564. To determine Dmand Dyield
39、, it is permitted tocompute EEEP curves, based on monotonic test data, inaccordance with 9.1.4.8.4 Method B (ISO 16670 Protocol):8.4.1 ISO Displacement ScheduleDisplacement-controlled loading procedure that involves displacement cyclesgrouped in phases at incrementally increasing displacementlevels.
40、 The ISO loading schedule consists of two displacementpatterns and is illustrated in Fig. 7. The first displacementpattern consists of five single fully reversed cycles at displace-ments of 1.25 %, 2.5 %, 5 %, 7.5 %, and 10 % of the ultimatedisplacement Dm. The second displacement pattern consists o
41、fphases, each containing three fully reversed cycles of equalamplitude, at displacements of 20 %, 40 %, 60 %, 80 %,100 %, and 120 % of the ultimate displacement Dm.8.4.2 The sequence of amplitudes, which is given in Table 2,are a function of the mean value (where applicable) of theultimate displacem
42、ent (Dm) obtained from matched wall speci-mens in the monotonic tests in accordance with Practice E 564.8.5 Method C (CUREE Basic Loading Protocol):8.5.1 CUREE Basic Loading ProtocolDisplacement-controlled loading procedure that involves displacement cyclesgrouped in phases at incrementally increasi
43、ng displacementlevels. The loading history starts with a series of initiationcycles at small amplitudes of equal magnitude. Further, eachphase of the loading history consists of a primary cycle withamplitude expressed as a fraction (percent) of the referencedeformation, D, and subsequent trailing cy
44、cles with amplitudeof 75 % of the primary one.NOTE 1Normally, six initiation cycles of equal amplitude serve tocheck loading equipment, measurement devices, and the force-deformation response at small amplitudes.8.5.2 The schedule of amplitude increments is given inTable 3 and is illustrated in Fig.
45、 8. The reference deformationD shall be an estimate of the maximum displacement at whichthe load in a primary cycle has not yet dropped below 0.8 Ppeak.If the panel has not failed at the end of Phase 8 of Table 3, thenFIG. 2 Performance Parameters of Shear-Wall Assembly: (B) Last Point at Pu=0.8Ppea
46、k(continued)E2126075additional phases shall be added. Each subsequent phase shallconsist of a primary cycle with an increase in amplitude of a(a # 0.5) over the previous primary cycle, and followed bytwo trailing cycles with amplitude of 75 % of the primary one.8.6 The actuator displacement in Metho
47、ds A, B, or C shallbe controlled at either constant cyclic frequency or at aconstant rate of displacement. The rate of displacement shall bebetween 0.04 and 2.5 in./s (1.0 and 63.5 mm/s). The cyclicfrequency shall range from 0.2 to 0.5 Hz to avoid inertialeffects of the mass of the wall and test fix
48、ture hardware duringcyclic loading. The loading shall follow the correspondingprocedure until the applied load diminishes more than 0.2Ppeak, that is, until the failure limit state occurs.8.7 Displacements shall be measured with displacementmeasuring devices with a resolution of 0.005 in. (0.13 mm)
49、orother suitable devices for continuously measuring displace-ment under cyclic loading conditions, at a minimum samplingrate of 100 readings per cycle. The following instrumentationshall be provided for measuring displacements, and hold-downconnector forces when required:8.7.1 Horizontal displacement of the wall at the top plate.8.7.2 Vertical displacement of both end posts (uplift andcompression) relative to the rigid base. The reference point forthis measurement shall be on or immediately adjacent to theoutside face of the end post.8.7.3 Horizontal di
