Summary of Test Method4.1 The elastic shear stiffness, shear strength and ductility ofspecimens are determined by subj

22、ecting a specimen to full-reversal cyclic racking shear loads. This is accomplished byanchoring the bottom edge of the specimen to a test basesimulating intended end-use applications and applying a forceparallel to the top of the specimen. The specimen is allowed todisplace in its plane. Sheathing p

23、anels that are a component ofa specimen shall be positioned such that they do not bear on thetest frame during testing. (See Note 1) As the specimen isracked to specified displacement increments, the racking(shear) load and displacements are continuously measured (see8.7).NOTE 1If the end-use applic

24、ations require sheathing panels beardirectly on the sill plate, such as most structural insulated panels, thespecimen may be tested with sheathing panels that bear on the sill plate.5. Significance and Use5.1 These test methods are intended to measure the perfor-mance of vertical elements of the lat

25、eral force resisting systemsubjected to earthquake loads. Since these loads are cyclic, theloading process simulates the actions and their effects on thespecimens.6. Specimen6.1 GeneralThe typical specimen consists of a frame,bracing elements, such as panel sheathing, diagonal bracing,FIG. 1 Example

26、s of Observed Hysteresis Curve and Envelope Curves for Method C (continued)E 2126 07a3etc., and fastenings. The bracing is attached on one side of theframe unless the purpose of the test requires bracing on bothsides. The elements of the specimen shall be fastened to theframe in a manner to conform

27、to 6.2. Elements used toconstruct specimens may be varied to permit anticipated failureof selected elements. All structural detailing shall be clearlyidentified in the report in accordance with Section 10.6.2 ConnectionsThe performance of specimens is influ-enced by the type, spacing, and edge dista

28、nce of fastenersattaching 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 specimen shallconsist of materials repre

29、sentative of those to be used in theactual building construction. The connections of these mem-bers shall be consistent with those intended in actual buildingconstruction.6.3.1 For wood framing members, record the species andgrade of lumber used (or the relevant product identificationinformation for

30、 structural composite lumber framing); moisturecontent of the framing members at the time of the specimenfabrication 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 framingmembers (see Test M

31、ethods D 2395, Method A). The specificgravity of the framing members shall be representative of thepublished specific gravity for the product with no individualmember exceeding the published value by more that 10 %.6.3.2 For steel or other metal framing members, record thematerial specifications and

32、 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 bottomplates or tracks.6.5 Specimen SizeThe specimen shall hav

33、e 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 specimen shall be tested such that all elements andsheathing surfaces are observable. For specimens such asframed walls with sheathin

34、g on both faces of framing orframeless structural insulated panels, the specimens are dis-mantled after tests to permit observation of all elements.7.2 The bottom of the specimen shall be attached to a testbase as specified in 6.2. The test apparatus shall support thespecimen as necessary to prevent

35、 displacement from the planeof the specimen, but in-plane displacement shall not berestricted.7.3 Racking load shall be applied horizontally along theplane of the specimen using a double-acting hydraulic actuatorFIG. 2 Performance Parameters of Specimen: (A) Last Point at Pu$ 0.8 PpeakE 2126 07a4wit

36、h a load cell. The load shall be distributed along the top ofthe specimen by means of a loading beam or other adequatedevices. The beam used to transfer loads between the hydrauliccylinder and the test specimen shall be selected so that it doesnot contribute to the measured racking strength and stif

37、fness.7.3.1 If applied to the top of the specimen directly, e.g., asis shown in Fig. 4, the maximum stiffness of load beampermitted is 330,000 lbf-in.2(see Note 2).NOTE 2The selected stiffness corresponds with an HSS 5 by 3 by14-in. steel section. Other sections with equal or less stiffness have bee

38、nsuccessfully employed.7.3.2 The load beam selected shall not be continuous overdiscontinuities in the test specimen (see Note 3).NOTE 3Examples of discontinuities include portal frame openings,wall perforations, transitions between differential bracing types, etc.Continuation of a rigid load beam o

39、ver these discontinuities can add to themeasured in-plane rigidity of the system. However, the use of continuousload beam over discontinuities may be considered provided that the addedin-plane rigidity can be justified by the end-use applications.7.3.3 The combined gravity load applied to the specim

40、en bythe load beam and actuator shall be less than 350 lbf, unless thepurpose of the test includes the influence of vertical loads onthe system performance (see Appendix X3).7.4 Test setup shall be designed and installed so that vertical(gravity) loads from test equipment applied to the specimen are

41、negligible. Other vertical loads shall not be added to thespecimen unless justified by analysis of actual building con-struction or the objective of the testing. When vertical loads areapplied, the magnitude and test setup for the vertical load shallbe reported along with the justification.NOTE 4The

42、 neglect of vertical loads in this standard may result ininaccurate estimates of the capacity of the specimen as an element of thelateral force resisting system in actual building construction. For example,the neglect of uplift forces in testing may overestimate the rackingcapacity of the element, w

43、hile the neglect of dead weight of the storyabove may underestimate the racking capacity of the element unlessbuckling is the predominant failure mode.8. Procedure8.1 Number of TestsA minimum of two identical speci-mens shall be tested to determine the elastic shear stiffness andshear strength of a

44、given construction. These values shall becalculated in accordance with 3.2 and 9.1. For analysis, themean values are permitted to be based on the results of twospecimens if the parameters are within 10 % of each other.Otherwise, the mean values shall be based on the results of atleast three specimen

45、s.8.2 The cyclic displacement of the actuator shall be con-trolled to follow a cyclic displacement procedure described ineither 8.3 (Method A), 8.4 (Method B), or 8.5 (Method C).8.3 Method A (Sequential-Phased Displacement Proce-dure):FIG. 2 Performance Parameters of Specimen: (B) Last Point at Pu=0

46、.8Ppeak(continued)E 2126 07a58.3.1 Sequential Phased Displacement (SPD) LoadingProtocolDisplacement-controlled loading procedure that in-volves displacement cycles grouped in phases at incrementallyincreasing displacement levels. The cycles shall form either asinusoidal wave or a triangular wave. Th

47、e SPD loadingconsists of two displacement patterns and is illustrated in Fig.FIG. 3 An Example of Shear Wall SpecimenFIG. 4 Cyclic Displacement Schedule (Method A)E 2126 07a64. The first displacement pattern consists of three phases, eachcontaining three fully-reversing cycles of equal amplitude, at

48、displacements representing 25 %, 50 %, and 75 % of antici-pated FME. The second displacement pattern is illustrated inFig. 5. Each phase is associated with a respective displacementlevel and contains one initial cycle, three decay cycles, and anumber of stabilization cycles. For nailed wood-frame wa

49、lls,three stabilization cycles are sufficient to obtain a stabilizedresponse. The amplitude of each consecutive decay cycledecreases by 25 % of the initial displacement.8.3.2 The schedule of amplitude increments between thesequential phases is given in Table 1. The amplitude incre-ments selected for the SPD procedure are based on the FMEdetermined from the static monotonic load test on an identicalspecimen in accordance with Practice E 564. To determineDyield, it is permitted to compute EEEP curves, as shown in Fig.2 based on monotonic test data,
