Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 1 This standard provides guidance on: a) testing of materials to characterize materials and extract properties that are used in earthquake capacity assessment of structures, b) testing of members, sub-assemblages and structures to extract their structural characteristics (like natural periods, mode shapes, initial overall lateral stiffness, overall lateral strength, failure modes, overall lateral deformability and energy dissipation) that are used in refining the analytical tools towards improved estimation of earthquake capacity of structures, and c) testing of members, sub-assemblages, structures, and energy dissipation devices to study their behaviour that arises from new structural designs, schemes of structural detailing and structural connections towards developing earthquake resistant structures.
2 The provisions of this standard may be used as guidelines for preparation of test specimens in case of verifying new technologies for design and construction, and development of experimental setup for proof-of-concept for a new procedures which do not have established design methodologies or standards. In such cases, the number of specimens shall be decided by the owner of the new technology.
