the tests with ALC panels were excluded. For loading not smaller than the 1/75amplitude, beams, panel-zones, and column bases sustained plastic deformations,which indicates balanced participation <strong>of</strong> individual components to the overalldeformations. Pinching behavior in the second and third cycles relative to the firstcycle was notable for the 1/75 amplitude and greater. This was primarily due toyielding and progress <strong>of</strong> plastic deformations <strong>of</strong> the anchor bolts. Such yielding wasaccepted in designing the test structure.5.2 Interaction with Exterior Finishes9804450 35003500 30 10 396013005005700 300 300 5700300 60006000 300(a)anchorboltsealingsecondfloor801080fillanchorbent platepedestal plateweldingweldingL-65×65×6flat plateH-300×150×6.5×915032.5 117.512095 2532r=775 6flat plater=7.51412.5 2515050 20 5050 50 35(b)75 6 6bent plate(c)Figure 6.
