Test Specimens5.1 General DescriptionThe specimens shall have materials and workmanship representative of the structural elements theyare intended to represent, and be large enough to be useful in predicting the structural performance of those elements.5.2 Length o

15、r HeightThe specimen shall be long enough (for horizontal testing) or tall enough (for vertical testing) so thatits behavior under load will simulate that of the element that the specimen is intended to represent.5.3 WidthThe specimen shall be wide enough so that its behavior under load will simulat

16、e that of the element the specimenis intended to represent.5.4 Laboratory EnvironmentMaintain the air in the laboratory at a temperature of 75 6 15F (24 6 8C) and a relativehumidity of 55 6 25 %.5.5 Preconditioning of Masonry MaterialsPrecondition materials by storing in the laboratory environment f

17、or at least 5 daysbefore use.5.6 AgeTest masonry construction at an age of at least 28 days after fabrication, unless specified otherwise.6. General Requirements for Instrumentation6.1 Load MeasurementMeasure loads with a load cell or pressure transducer having a precision better than or equal to 1

18、%of the expected maximum load.6.2 Displacement MeasurementMeasure displacements with a linear potentiometer, linear variable displacement transformer(LVDT), or dial gauge having a precision equal to or better than the lesser of 61 % of the expected maximum displacement, or60.02 in. (60.5 mm).6.3 Dat

19、a AcquisitionRecord sufficient data to define the load-displacement curve with sufficient precision for the purposes ofthe test. Each set of data (load and displacement) is referred to as a “loading point.”7. General Requirements for Loading7.1 Loading MethodLoad specimens hydraulically using a hand

20、 pump, electrical pump, or air-driven pump.7.2 Test ControlControl the load manually or automatically (servo-controlled feedback system).7.2.1 Manual ControlIf the load is controlled manually, displacements are imposed on the specimen. The loading protocolmay be based on target loads or target displ

21、acements. It is generally convenient to use target loads until the load level approachesthe expected capacity, and then use target displacements.7.2.2 Automatic ControlIf the load is controlled automatically, either load or displacement is imposed on the system. Theloading protocol may be based on t

22、arget loads or target displacements. Use load control until the load level approaches the expectedcapacity, and then use displacement control.7.3 Loading ProtocolUse a loading protocol that is appropriate for the purposes of the test. The simplest loading protocol ismonotonic loading to failure.Amor

23、e complex loading protocol is cycles of loading (possibly reversed) to monotonically increasingmaximum amplitudes. Other protocols shall be permitted to be used.NOTE 1A wide range of loading protocols for in-plane tests is provided in Test Methods E2126.8. Axial Compression Test8.1 ApparatusUse a te
