EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON STRUCTURAL DETERIORATION CHARACTERISTICS OF TRADITIONAL MUD WALL SUBJECTED TO CONSTANT AMPLITUDE MULTI-CYCLE LOADING (PART 2) : CASE OF MUD-HANGING WALL

Abstract

In this paper, I present the experimental results of traditional mud-hanging walls subjected to constant amplitude multi-cycle loading. The number of the lording times were considered the results of the earthquake response analysis. From the experimental results, I examined the strength deterioration factor and the change of the hysteresis loop. I discussed the strength deterioration factor and the equivalent viscous damping coefficient, which are considered the effect of the multi-cycle loading.
