Cyclic shear behavior of en-echelon joints under constant normal stiffness conditions

To reveal the mechanism of shear failure of en-echelon joints under cyclic loading, such as during earthquakes, we conducted a series of cyclic shear tests of en-echelon joints under constant normal stiffness (CNS) conditions. We analyzed the evolution of shear stress, normal stress, stress path, di...
