Cyclic Loading for Beam Connections

The document describes a cyclic loading sequence for testing beam-to-column moment connections. It involves applying incremental displacements in push and pull cycles to the beam, starting at 0.38% drift ratio and increasing up to 10.03% drift ratio over 14 steps. At each step the displacement is applied in a push-pull cycle repeated up to 4 times to evaluate the connection's hysteretic behavior under cyclic loading.
