There is a considerable breadth of information andvast databases on walls tested under Ref (2). For the purposesof acceptance testing it would be permissible to c

The background for this standard is givenin Ref (3-6), which indicates that a unique cyclic displac
41、ementor loading history will always be a compromise, but one that isconservative for most practical cases should be selected. TheTest Method B test protocol is intended to produce data thatsufficiently describe elastic and inelastic cyclic properties; andtypical failure mode that is expected in eart
42、hquake loading.X2.1.3 Selection of Test Method A Versus Test Method B:X2.1.3.1 Test Method A may be applicable to systems whenFME is the yield limit state or for testing slack systems todetermine a lower bound displacement causing hystereticenergy dissipation. Test Method B is a ramped displacementp
43、hase that bases the cycles on the percentage of an ultimatedisplacement determined through static tests. Test Method Bmay be more applicable to systems that exhibit linear elasticbehavior where FME is the strength limit state. If the ratio ofDmand FME is less than three, Test Method B may bepreferab
44、le. Both test methods are intended to generate similardisplacement amplitudes in order to obtain similar number ofpoints in the envelope curves. The difference is the number ofcycles in each phase (step).X2.2 Test Method CX2.2.1 Test Method C (CUREE protocol) is the latestaddition to the family of c
45、yclic test protocols. It was developedbased on the statistical analysis of seismic demands onlight-frame buildings representative of California (in particularLos Angeles) conditions. The CUREE basic loading history isa realistic and conservative representation of the cyclic defor-mation history to w
46、hich a component of a wood structure likelyis subjected in earthquakes (7, 8). At relatively large deforma-tions (primary cycles exceeding an amplitude of 0.4 D), theamplitude of the primary cycles increases by large steps. Theselarge steps are based on statistics of inelastic time historyresponses.
47、 If the purpose of the experiment is acceptancetesting, then it is permissible to reduce the step size of theprimary cycles with large amplitudes. Smaller step sizes closeto failure may result in a larger capacity (largest amplitude atwhich the acceptance criteria are met), even though they willresu
48、lt in larger cumulative damage. The reason is that the largestep sizes of the basic loading history permit evaluation ofacceptance only at discrete and large amplitude intervals. Thisstandard permits a reduction in step size only for phases inwhich the amplitude of the primary cycle exceeds D. In th
49、atregime the amplitude the primary cycle may be increased byaD, with a to be chosen by the user, but a #0.5.X2.2.2 The reference deformation, D, is a measure of thedeformation capacity (Du) of the specimen when subjected tothe cyclic loading history. It is used to control the loadinghistory, and therefore needs to be estimated prior to the test.The estimate can be based on previous experience, the resultsof a monotonic test, or a consensus value that may prove to beuseful for comparing tests of different details or configurations.In CUREE Project (7), the following guidel
