Appendix S
Testing Requirements - Loading History

Apply the following loading history:

6 cycles at  =  0.00375 rad.
6 cycles at  =  0.005 rad.
6 cycles at  =  0.0075 rad.
4 cycles at  =  0.01 rad.
2 cycles at  =  0.015 rad.
2 cycles at  =  0.02 rad.
2 cycles at  =  0.03 rad.
2 cycles at  =  0.04 rad.
continue at increments of 0.01 rad, with two
cycles of loading at each step

Acceptance Criteria for SMF Beam-to-Column Connections:

After completing at least one loading cycle at  0.04 radian, the measured flexural
resistance of the connection, measured at the face of the column, must be at least
0.80 Mp of the connected beam
