R/C Member Cyclic Response During Various Loadings

An assessment of parameters describing the response of a reinforced concrete beam

“…21 of Ingham et al 2001), it is evident that variations in the applied displacement sequence did not cause significant discrepancies in the overall response of these test units. This is consistent with the conclusions made by Hwang and Scribner (1984 ). However, this is in contrast to earlier comments made about the significance of different laboratory loading procedures, consequently supporting the notion that response is comparatively independent of loading histories as long as the total number and magnitude of cycles is preserved.…”

“…However, it was found that there was little difference between the results from different cyclic loading regimes. Hwang and Scribner (1984) from Sargent and Lundy Engineers and the University of Illinois conducted research on reinforced concrete beams to determine the effect of variations in loading histories. They concluded that while the size of the displacements was closely related to strength and stiffness degradation, the actual sequence in which large and small displacements were applied did not have a significant effect on the results.…”

Comparative Post-Yield Performance Evaluation of Flexural Members under Monotonic and Cyclic Loadings based on Experimental Tests

“…A few of them related to present study were conducted by Hwang and Scribner, 1984;Darwin and Nmai, 1986;Marfia, 2004, Tsonos, 2006. Some of the studies on the flexure member underlined the effect of bond-slip, shear and flexure including confinement effect under static and fatigue loading were conducted by Altoubat et.…”

Failure criteria and cumulative damage models for steel components under cyclic loading

“…It was originally proposed by Hwang and Scribner [19]. This damage index is given by the following expression:…”
