Scope
(1) This document contains rules for qualification by cyclic testing of structural components designed according to EN 1998 (all parts).
(2) This document covers:
a) Conditions for applying the document.
b) Conditions for qualification of structural components.
c) Testing provisions for qualification of structural components.
d) Loading histories for qualification by cyclic testing of structural components.
e) Test reporting provisions for structural components.
f) Rules for verification of limit states.
g) Rules for instrumentation for qualification by cyclic testing of structural components.
h) Testing provisions for material specimens.
Purpose
The proposed TS refers to the characterisation and qualification of structural components for seismic applications by means of cyclic tests, which is under development within SC 8 for structural components not included in existing European standards, but which SC 8 considers to be out of the scope of EN 1998. It is, however, required for the use of the new EN 1998-1-2 (and also other Parts of EN
1998).
