How to calculate strength degradation in a hysteresis loop (cyclic loading)?

I understand that the peak load at that specific deformation is to be taken but how do we get the % in degradation (is it by % decrease from one load to another)? Additionally, do we compare peak...

Why do some researchers draw coordinate-grid lines on concrete joint especially during beam-column connection testing?

Was it to physically identify crack orientation/inclination and differentiate it between lateral, flexural, shear cracks etc? Or is it for some other function i dont know about.

Is the area under the load-deflection curve of concrete tested under direct shear considered as "shear toughness"?

I tested 100x100x500mm concrete prisms under direct shear using the JSCE-SF 6 standards. Is calculating the area under the load-deflection curve considered as shear toughness or shear energy? The...

How to calculate inelastic strain from concrete uniaxial stress-strain curves?

I conducted compressive and tensile concrete uniaxial test for the Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) data in Abaqus. But I only have normal strains under stress, how do i get the inelastic strain?

i not work with that

Raafat E S Ismail

dear sheikh

is your model 2d or 3d. are using solid element C3D8R or plain stress/strain element?

Sheikh Mohd Iqbal S. Zainal Abidin

Dear Raafat,

I'm using the beam element in 3D. I've solved the boundary condition but now I just do not know what to put as the load magnitude in the cyclic loading? I have inputted the amplitude in tabular (Time vs Displacement) but why do i still need to put the magnitude of the load? Is it entirely up for me to decide?
