Abstract
Following Part 1, in this paper various factors which have influences on the restoring force characteristics of reinforced concrete aseismatic elements are examined through the tests. The factors which are discussed in this paper consist of the dimensions of members and cross sections, the quantities of reinforcements, the vertical load on the top of the column and loading types such as lateral loading, diagonal loading, static loading and dynamic loading. In the skeleton curves the influences on strength and stiffness and in "Normalized Characteristic Loop" those on loop shape and hysteresis damping are mainly discussed.
