Fig. 7.
The line graph plots lateral displacement Y in metres against number of cycles. Number of cycles ranges from 0 to 100000 and lateral displacement ranges from 0 to 0.7 metres. The maximum lateral displacement at load level Y H increases rapidly from about 0.36 metres to about 0.50 metres at low cycle numbers and then gradually reaches about 0.55 metres near 100000 cycles. Maximum lateral displacement at ground level Y increases from about 0.10 metres to about 0.16 metres at low cycle numbers and gradually reaches about 0.19 metres near 100000 cycles. Labels identify elastic displacement Y e and plastic displacement Y p for both Y and Y H values.Lateral displacement plotted against number of cycles for test C26 (1:2 virtual model scale)
