Single Steel Connector Plate Testing.

Testing at the University of Hawaii @ Manoa as part of Project Task 2: Connector Development. This experiment is the first round of testing the prototypical connector plates. These connectors will be used to transfer the load between the steel framing and the masonry wall in the Hybrid Masonry Seismic Structural System. This experiment will help to identify which detailing requirements will be incorporated into the Large-Scale MUST-SIM Tests and Simulation Models. The tests intend to identify the strength, stiffness and ductility of the steel connector plates.
