Two test specimens were constructed and tested under low-cyclic lateral loading.
A 1/2.5-scaled model of two-bay and three-story inner frames, which consisted of reinforced concrete beams and lattice steel reinforced concrete (SRC) irregular section columns, was constructed and tested under low cyclic reversed loading.
It is identified that high tensile stress triaxiality can be one primary cause of weld cracking which happened under low cyclic load level.
All specimens have channel fracture type of failure and showed 8 17% strength degradation under low cyclic fatigue loading compared to the monotonic loading.
An experimental investigation on the behavior of an 8-storey steel staggered-truss system with a 18-scaled model under reversed low cyclic loading is presented in this paper.
This numerical model includes a low cyclic fatigue model, which wraps the nonlinear fibre based beam-column element material in order to capture fracture in the braces.
The tested results demonstrate the presence of size effect in flexural failure of RC beams under both low cyclic and monotonic lateral loadings.
In summary, this work provides a novel model and some innovative observations to better understanding undrained pore pressure behavior of soft marine clay under long-term low cyclic loads.
The amended damage constitutive model can describe the degree of compactness of rocks accurately, and the damage constitutive model under cyclic loading has reasonable error in describing the behaviour of rocks under cyclic loading.
The first stress models were formulated by generalization of the known models applied under cyclic loadings.
