1. Anchor Channel Systems |
All anchor channels systems in a test series shall complete the simulated seismic-tension load history. Subject the anchor channel to the sinusoidal tension loads with a cycling frequency between 0.1 and 2 Hz. All anchor channels systems in a test series shall complete the simulated seismic-tension load history specified. Failure of an anchor channel system to develop the required tension resistance in any cycle before completing the loading history shall be recorded as a failure of an anchor channel system to develop the required tension resistance in any cycle before completing the loading history. Test No. 12 is performed to extract seismic strength values for various failure listed above. |
