STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR CYCLIC TEST

START

STANDARD REFERENCE:
ICC – AC133 (CYCLIC TEST)
ASTM A615 (REBAR GRADE & ELONGATION)
ASTM 370 (STATIC TENSION TEST)

REBAR PREPARATION:
1 PCS/M FOR REFERENCE
1 SET (5 PCS/M) FOR CYCLIC TEST
1 SET (4 PCS/M) FOR TENSION TEST

NO

THREADING FOR CYCLIC &

TENSION TEST

YES

STAGE 1:
1 PCS/M (REBAR REFERENCE) FOR
STATIC TENSION TEST

NO

Fy > Fy min.
Fu > (1.25 Fy) & Fu > Fu min.
ELONGATION > ELONGATION min %
Fy <= (Fy min. + 125 MPa)*
*(rebar A60 only)

YES

STAGE 2:
1 SET REBAR (4 PCS/M) CONNECTED WITH
COUPLER FOR STATIC TENSION TEST

NO

Fy > Fy specified.
Fu > (1.25 Fy) & Fu > Fu specified.

YES

STAGE 3:
1 SET REBAR (5 PCS/M) CONNECTED WITH
COUPLER FOR CYCLIC TEST

NO

STAGE 1 TO STAGE 3 (WITHOUT FAILURE):

STAGE 1 = TENSION (0.95 Fy), COMPRESSION (0.5 Fy), CYCLES (20 TIMES)
STAGE 2 = TENSION (2 Eya = Fy/200000 MPa), COMPRESSION (0.5 Fy), CYCLES (4 TIMES)
STAGE 3 = TENSION (5 Eya = Fy/200000 MPa), COMPRESSION (0.5 Fy), CYCLES (4 TIMES)
STAGE 4 = Fu (TENSION UNTIL FAILURE)
ELONGATION (RECORDED)

YES
