Abstract
In this paper (IV), the resonance fatigue characteristics of structural elements idealized as NM and NQ Models in the previous paper (III) are inspected qualitatively and quantitatively based upon experimental results. Reinforced concrete columns with flexural yielding type and reinforced concrete shear walls with shear fracture type are employed as test specimens for NM and NQ Models, respectively. In accordance with the analytical predictions in the previous paper (III), it is shown that constant deflection and incremental deflection amplitude conditions result in the resonance response condition of reinforced concrete columns with flexural yielding type and that of reinforced concrete shear walls with shear frac- ture type, respectively.
