SUMMARY
The experimental effort discussed herein was performed to: 1) demon-strate the adequacy of a wide range of conduit clamp sizes (and their attachment hardware) during postulated seismic events at the Comanche Peak site, and 2) to determine the ultimate capacities of the clamps and their related hardware in terms of ultimate load components at the attachment locations so that design margins could be established. Other objectives were to determine test specimen (conduit) resonant frequencies, damping ratios and response shapes and to determine the axial and rotational slip resistance of the conduit within its clamps.
In order to meet test objectives, a total of 18 conduit raceways were constructed on a large shake table (using site-specific materials, construc-tion details and procedures). These raceways were subjected to: modal test-ing to identify resonant frequencies and rasponse shapes; random dwell moving support testing to identify resonant f requencies and modal damping ratios; and earthqt'ake testing at Safe Shutdown Earthquake amplitudes and higher input levels to demonstrate design adequacy and to determine ultimate loads.
A comparison of achieved peak loads with design values is beyond the scope of this report. However, it was determined that none of the clamps or their attachment hardware suffered loss of load capacity when subjected to site enveloping Safe Shutdown Earthquakes (SSE), based on comparison of test response spectra with the SSE respon<;e spectra. Clamp / attachment hardware failures began to occur when shake taole input amplitudes were scaled upwards to minimum value. corresponding to 2.3 - 4.6 times site enveloping SSE response spectra.
Tensile and/or shear failure of the clamp attachment studs or bolts established the ultimate capacities of supports in all cases where failure occurred. Testing was performed to the limits of the shake table's capacity.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
Conduit clamps, which re used to secure electrical conduits to supports, at the gomanche Peak Site, in many cases are classified as seismic category one structures. A thorough understanding of the clamps' behavior during postulated seismic events was sought, hence the experimental effort discussed herein was performed.
This test effort had two principal objectives: 1) to demonstrate the adequacy of a wide range of conduit clamp sizes (including attachment hardware) during postulated seismic events at the site; and 2) to determine the ultimate load capacities of the conduit clamps (including attachment hardware) in terms of ultimate load components at the attachment locations, so that design margins could be established.
Other objectives included:
determination of conduit resonant frequencies, damping ratios and in some cases mode shapes, and determination of the axial and rotational slip resistance of the conduit within the clamps during dynamic loading.
All test results are summarized in Section 5.0. No comparison with design values are made.
To achieve those goals, a total of 18 conduit runs were installed on ANCO's R-4 Shake Table and subjected to (in some cases) modal testing to identify resonant f requencies and mode shapes for the lowest few modes of vibration, random dwell testing (in some cases) to identify resonant -
frequencies and modal dampings of the lowest few modes of vibration at meaningful levels of support point input motion amplitude, earthquake testing at safe shutdown levels to demonstrate design adequacy, and fragility level testing to acquire data to meet the remaining objectives.
The 18 test specimens ws,2 assembled and installed on the shake table and tested three at a time, hence a total of six test setups were made. The test specimens are discussed in Section 3.0. All test specimen components were forwarded from the Comanche Peak Site. Installation was governed by ANCO material control and site installation procedures to insure that t5e test specimens were representative of site conditions.

1 A total of 64 transducsrs consisting of tccalsromit rs, displEcsLGnt transducers and strain gauges were used to sense support point input and I conduit response parameters. ANCO's Computerized Vibration Testing and Analysis System -{ CVTAS ) was used to ~ acquire and store the test data.
Subsequent data analysis presented the data in meaningful formats of t rens fer- function moduli, summaries of peak measured variables, test response spectra, and time histories of the measured viriables.
Subsequent sections of this report discuss the test specimens (Section 3.0), the test methods and tests performed (Section 4.0), the test results in summary form (Section 5.0), and the references (Section 6.0). Unattached appendices include Quality Assurance records (Volume II, Appendix A),
pertinent project documents and memoranda (Volume III, Appendix B), the test procedure (Volume IV, Appendix C), the test data (Volume V, Appendix D), and a detailed discussion of the load measurement method used (Volume VI, Appendix E).
All work discussed herein was performed in compliance with the test procedure contained in Volume IV, Appendix C, and under control of ANCO's Quality Assurance Program which has been designed to meet the requirements t of 10CFR50, Appendix 8.

3.0 TEST SPECIMENS AND TESTS PERFORMED This section is intended to provide the raader with an overview of the test specimens and the tests performed. Additional details on the test specimens and construction details are containeci in Volume II, Appendix A and Volume IV, Appendix C. Additional details on the tests performed are contained in Volume IV, Appendix C.
3.1 Test Specimens Table 3.1 summarizes the key features of the test specimens. Test Specimens 1 through 17 (Test Specimens 14 and 15 were deleted) consisted of 3-support, 2-span straight runs of conduit with a 90' cantilevered bend at one end. Attachment of the clamps to a horizontal steel surface was provided above the conduits. Conduits of two-inch diameter and less were tested with 10-ft, 0-in, nominal support spacing. Conduits of three-inch and greater diameter were tested with 14-ft, 0-in nominal support spacing.
The clamps at each of the three supports on a given test specimen were the same, i.e., either all No. P2558 or all No. C708S, as specified in the table. Figures 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 illustrate typical specimens with 10-ft and 14-ft support spacings and a typical conduit clamp assembly.
Figure 3.4 is typical of Test Specimens 18, 19 and 20. These specimens consisted of 3-support, 2-span straight run sections with 14-ft, 0-in, nominal support spacing. Guides were installed in lieu of clamps at the end supports (Supports 1 and 3), so that higher axial shears would result at the clamp assembly located at the center support (Support 2). The cantileveret elbows used previously were not installed.
Table 3.2 summarizes the approximate weight of each test system. Emp;y rigid steel (RS) conduit was filled with cable (from ANCO stock) to ',he maximum extent possible, resulting in the total test specimen weights shown in the column headed by Footnote 3. Specimen weights remained as in that column during all modal, random, SSE and fragility level testing. Next, weight was added to the test specimens in the forms of wrapped chain (Specimens 1 through 13, 16 and 17) and welded steel plate (Specimens 18 through 20) to increase the inertial 1 rads input to the specimens' clamps during a subsequent series of SSE and fragility level events. The added weight was evenly distributed between supports and resulted in total speci-men weights as shown in the column of Table 3.2 headed by Footnote 5.

Tablo 3.3 ssrves to docurent the cabling used as fill in each of the l 1
test specimens. This cabling was from ANCO's stock initially supplied by !
Public Service of New Hampshire from their Seabrook site. The code number stamped on each cable permitted easy identification of the cable's weight and other properties through ANCO Report A-000161. The total fill weights given in the table are in excess of minimum values specified for the project (see Table 3.3, Footnote 1).
Specimen assembly and installation was governed by pertinent sections of the test procedure (Volume IV, Appendix C), and appropriate sections of the test specification and memoranda (Volume III, Appendix B). All materials, less cabling, were received from the Comanche Peak Site (CPSES).
Installation was reviewed as part of ANCO's Quality Assurance Program. As-built documentation for each of the test specimens is provided in Volume II, Appendix A.
3.2 Tests Performed Table 3.4 summarizes the tests performed. Conduit specimens were assembled, installed on the R-4 Shake Table and tested three at a time.
Review of the second column of the table indicates that Setup 1 included Test Specimens 1, 2 and 9, Setup 2 included Test Specimens 3, 10 and 17, etc. Specimens were tested in order of priority (established in the test specification) and in that order to minimize setup time.
Each setup was subjected to the following test sequence which is detailed in the test procedure contained in Volume IV, Appendix C after verification that the test specimens complied with appropriate construction details.
- Random dwell testing was performed (selected specimens). Random dwell testing consisted of random transverse and vertical support point input motion at an amplitude corresponding to SSE levels.
Selected channels of data were recorded on FM tape for later analysis so that he lowest few modes of vibration could be identified. Input acceleration data were acquired using the CVTAS system and Test Response Spectra (TRS) computed to assure that test amplitudes appro1ched SSE requirements.
- Modal testin, ,,as performed (selected specimens).
i Modal testing consisted of multiple light impacts from a calibrated force measuring hammer while transfer functions were recorded at many locations on the specimen. Subsequent data analysis yielded Comanche Peak Conduit Tests, Document No. A-000197, Page 5 of 63
detailed inforzation on ths resonant fraquinciss of th3 lowest few modes of vibration of the test specimen and their corresponding mode shapes.
. Seismic testing was performed - (all test specimens). SSE level earthquake-like support point input motion was input to the tests specimens to determine specimen response, loads at the center support (clamp at Support 2) and rotational loads at the clamp nearest the elbow (clamp at Support 1).
- Fragility testing was performed (all test specimens). Shake table gains were adjusted to approximately one-half table capacity and earthquake-like support point input motion input as in the seismic test. Fragility testing was performed with the shake table input gains set to yield the highest attainable input values.
Finally, weight was added to the test specimens as discussed in Section 3.1, and the one seismic test and two fragility level tests discussed above repeated.
Test specimens were inspected between each test and post-test condi-tions of the clamps / clamp hardware, nut torques, etc., recorded. Nuts were retorqued to specified values and hardware replaced as required. Inspection data are included in Volume V, Appendix 0.

4.0 TEST METH00S, INSTRUMENTATION AND DATA ANALYSIS
{
\
This section reviews the methods used to test the test specimens, the l instrumentation used to sense input and response parameters and the data analysis methods used to convert the sensed input and response parameters to more usable formats.
4.1 Test Methods Test methods included modal testing to identify the lowest few modes of vibration and their corresponding mode shapes (selected test specimens),
random dwell support point input motion (selected specimens) to identify the lowest few modes of vibration and to estimate their damping ratios and earthquake testing to demonstrate clamp design adequacy and establish clamp ultimate loads.
4.1.1 Modal Testina Modal testing was performed by attaching a uniaxial reference accelerometer to a selected point on the test conduit. A rubber hammer containing a calibrated force transducer was used to strike the test ccnduit at a large number of points / directions. For each new reference accelerometer location, the test conduit was repeatedly struck by the hammer. Subsequent data analysis developed the mode shapes associated with identified resonant frequencies. A curve fitting was used to develop the mode shapes of interest.
The curve fitting (parameter estimatien) n.ethod of hammer testing, to determine structural podes, consists basically of the following:
determine elements of transfer function matrix, for multi-degree-of-freedom (M00F) system, by performing hammer testing; and establish an analytical MOOF linear modal model and perform curve fitting and sorting to obtain the structural modes.
There are numerous other steps required to produce and display the final modes in global coordinates (see Table 4.1).
l The transfer function matrix is defined by the following equation:
I Comanche Peak Conduit Tests, Document No. A-000197, Page 20 of 63
{X(w)l=(H(w)){F(u)} (4-1) where{X(w)}=thevectorofsystemresponses(outputs),
Fourier transform of; (H(w)) = transfer function matrix; and
{F(w)}-thevectorofsystemappliedforces(inputs),
Fourier transform of.
A particular element of the transfer function matrix, say H ij, was found by applying only force Fj and measuring Xi . This is seen from the following:
n X
[Hik 4 = k=1 k * "il 1 * ** * "ij j * '* * "in n = H..F 1j j H g(W) a X4 (w)/F (w)
The basic procedure used was to select an accelerometer as a fixed (fixed location) reference and move the force location and direction. Some-times the reference accelerometer was moved. By using a fixed reference and moving the force, the element for a single row of the transfer function matrix was developed. Once the needed parts of the transfer function had been developed, curve fitting was performed. After the curve fitting had been completed, the orthogonal mojes were "backed-out" using a sorting method.
4.1.2 Random Dwell Testina Random dwell testing was performed by driving (moving) the shake table in the coupled transverse and vertical (T/V) direc*.iuns with band-limited randon (white) noise. Drive signal gains were adjusted so that TRS computed from sensed input motions would closely match SSE required response spectra. Selected transducers (accelerometers and load cell) signals were recorded on FM tape during the two-minute event. Subsequent playback of recorded input and response acceleration signals (two at a time) into a Hewlett-Packard dual-channel aal-time analyzer (set to compute the transfer f unction between input and response signals) permitted identific3 tion of test specimen resonant frequencies by peaks noted in the transfer function moduli. Damping was estimated by the half-power bandwidth method.
i Comanche Peak Conduit Tests, Document No. A-000197, Page 21 of 63 J
The formula used to estimate damping was hf.
04=f, i -
where Afi is the bandwidth of ig the resonant peak (peak of the transfer function modulus curve) at 0.707 of the maximum peak height and fi is the i ig test specimen resonant frequency. Examples of this calculation are contained in the data of Volume V, Appendix 0. In some cases, the presence of closely spaced modes of vibration prevented the estimation of modal damping.
4.1.3 Earthquake and Fragility Testino Earthquake and fragility level earthquake testing was performed by driving the shake table in the coupled transverse and vertical plus independent longitudinal directions (T/V + L) with statistically independent signals. These drive signals, illustrated in Figure 4.1, are the displace-ment time histories whose resulting acceleration input motions when converted to test response spectra (TRS) were expected to conservatively match the shape of site enveloping required response spectra (RRS) cver the frequency range of interest, 5 Hz and greater. Drive signal gains were t adjusted to meet amplitude requirements. The 30-second plus event was a '
collection of three 10-second time histories representing a range of soil conditions at the site.
Figure 4.2 illustrates the resulting shake table input motion (measured at the test specimen attachment elevation) acceleration tioe histories for the longitudinal (x-direction), transverse (y-direction) and vertical (z-direction), respectively.
Figures 4.3 through 4.5 illustrate comparisons of typical SSE test TRS and RRS for the longitudinal, transverse and vertical directions, s' respectively. During this test (and all earthquake tests), it was desired to have as close a match between TRS and RRS as practical over the frequency range of 5 tr 26 Hl. It should be noted that the lowest specimen frequency was about 10 h.. , .ence the range of at least one-half the lowest specimen frequency and above was considered in assigning a test amplitude.

4.2.1.3 Strain Gauces Strain gauges were used to sense load or roment propnrtional caterial strains. Bondable strain gauges were placed symmetrically about neutral axes of specially constructed load cells (see Figure 4.11) and wired so that strains due to bending snd ' axial forces would either add (mcev t measurement) or cancel (load measurement). For each measured moment or force, the appropriate gasges formed one leg of a Wheatstone Bridge, as with the displacement transducers; however, a change in resistance across the bridge (proportional to a c ha nge. in .1ength) was converted to a voltage proportional to a moment or load as app.op11 ate.

Oata acquisition and analysis during modal testing was accomplished by v41ng a Hewlett'Packard Model 3E82A Real-Time Analyzer (RTA) and special purpose computer. See Section 4.1.1 for the data analysis methods used.
/
Aqalog data resulting from rendom dwell testing were acquired and stored on'FM tope. See Section 4.1.2 for the data analysis methods used.
1 4.4CO's CVTAS was used to acquire, store and convert all data fresulting from seismic and fragility testing to usable formats. The CVTAS hystry is represented symbol 4 ally in Figure 4.12. The acquisition /
, analysis ' procesv started Mth the measuring of responses by transducers.
] The analog signMs uere then filtered (to prevent aliasing of the data) and amplified (to achieve better resolution). Finally, they were digitized and then stored as computer files on hard disk (with tape backup) for subsequent
, ,analy[is. The basic features of the CVTAS system are given in Table 4.4.

,j procedure contained in Volur e IV, Appendix C. Each seismic or fragility

- a print out indicating the status (operability) of the transducers,
- a summary of the peak positive and peak negative value of the measured input or response parameter in engineering units and the times that the peak values were sensed within the data set by data channel number. During some of the test, erroneous values are reported in this data set, due to transducer failure / malfunction.
A review of the time traces was of ten necessary to determine peak value validity, e plots of the calculated TRS at 7% damping for the control accelerometers (Accelerometers 1, 2 and 3 sensed shake table input accelerations in the longitudinal (x), trcnsverse (y), and vertical (z) directions, respectively, near the C2S2 location), and
- plotted time histories of the measured input or response parameter in engineering units by data channel number.
Post-test analyses of su .in time history data, as discussed in Volume VI, Appendix E, was performed to determine the ultimate capacity of the conduit clamps and/or their related hardware.

5.0 TEST RESULTS Test results are in the form of resonant frequencies bnd their corresponding damping ratios from random dwell testing, resonant frequencies and their corresponding mode shapes from modal testing, and achieved clamp loads prior to failure, clamp rotational capacities and clamp slip capaci-ties from earthquake, and fragility testing. The data which are summarized in this section are contained in Volume V, Appendix 0 and Volume VI, Appendix E.
Clamp / attachment hardware failure modes were discussed briefly in Section 1.0 and will not be discussed here.
5.1 Random Dwell Test Results Table 5.1 summarizes the resonant frequencies and their corresponding model damping ratios identified during random dwell testing. Recall that testing was performed using band-limited (5 - 33 Hz) white-noise support-point input notion at amplitudes approximately equal to SSE levels based on comparisons of calculated TRS with SSE RRS at or near the lowest specimen modes of vibration. Random dwell testing was not performed on Test Setups 1 and 6 (Test Specimens 1, 2, 9, 18, 19 and 20). Further. Test Specimens 14 and 15 were deleted from the program.
Resonant frequencies of the lowest modes of vibration were closely spaced (lowest vertical and lowest transverse modes) but separable in the data. These were found to range from 9.6 Hz (4-in. conduit on 14-ft support spacing) to 31.6 Hz (2-in. conduit on 10-ft support spacing). Dampings for the lowest modes ranged from as great as approximately 8.4% to as little as 2.4% of critical. The table indicates that (generally) the lower the first mode frequency the higher the modal damping ratio. Second and higher order modes were (generally) found to be somewhat less damped than the lowest modes of vibration. Application of least-mean-square curve fitting techniques to the data contained in Table 5.1 suggests that damping could be expressed in terms of frequency by the relation, A = 7.81 - 0.18f4 (g),
where fi is the frequency of interest and 9.6 1f 5 31.6 Hz.
5.2 Modal Test Results Table 5.2 summarizes mode shape, natural frequency and damping ratios obtained from modal tests performed on Test Specimens 3 and 6. For Specimen Comanche Peak conduit Tests, Document No. A-000197, Page 45 of 63
3, three modes were identified below 33 Hz, two horizontal (X-Y) modes and one vertical mode. For Specimen 6, two modes were identified, one horizontal (X-Y) mode and one vertical mode. Table 5.2 describes the modes obtained and compares the frequencies with those obtained from the Random Owell test results. The mode shapes are shown in Figure 5.1.
5.3 Earthquake and F__raatlity level Test Results Recall that the intent of this effort was to determine axial and rotational slip characteristics of the conduit within the clamps and to establish the ultimate capacities of the clamps and their related hardware.
This section sammarizes the results which are discussed in greater depth in Volume V, Apperdix D and Volume VI, Appendix E. The relative magnitude of I
the fragility level tests remained the same for Systems 2 through 6. The relative level for the three seismic tests performed, using SSE RRS as 1.0, were as follows:
- 1. SSE Level' - longitudinal a aplitude = 1.2 transverse amplitude = 1.0 vertical amplitude = 1.0
- 2. 1st Fragility - longitudinal amplitude = 1.5 transverse amplitude = 3.0 vertical amplitude = 2.0
- 3. 2nd Fragility - longitudinal amplitude = 1.8 transverse amplitude = 4.0 vertical amplitude = 2.7 For System 1, several tests were performed to allow iteration on the i
gain and equalization settings to achieve the desired response. The rela-tive amplitudes of these tests are documented in Table 5.4, Footnote 6.
5.3.1 Axial Slip i
l Axial slip was sensed at the center support location (S2) on all test specimens by axially-oriented displacement transducers. During the majority of the test effort, these were LVOTs with a maximum range of 1/8 in. to yield the highest possible data resolution, hence data on slip > 1/8 in, is not available. The LVDTs were incapable of withstanding significant off-axis displacements. When clamp / attachment hardware failure occurred at the $2 location, the conduit sagged downward causing slip Comanche Peak Conduit Tests Document No. A-000197, Page 46 of 63
measurements 2 1/8 in, to be sensed by the LVDT and often causing damage to the LVDT.
Tcble 5.3 summarizes the available data (from Volume V, Appendix D) on axial slip characteristics. The table indicates the test number and test description where the maximum axial slippage at the S2 location was sensed and whether or not conduit clamp / attachment hardware failure occurred during that test. Data were not available on Test Specimen 11. Clamp / attachment hardware failure occurred on eight of the remaining 17 test specimens. On the eight specimens where failure occurred, there was no evidence of slippage during the prior tests. Where no failure occurred, slippage rang-ing from 10 to 70 mils, was noted in Table 5.3.
5.3.2 Clamp Torsional Capacities Rotational displacements and strains measured on either side of the clamp closest to the cantilevered elbows (Support S1) were reviewed to determine the clamps' rotational restraint capacities. These data are discussed in Volume VI, Appendix E and summarized here in Table 5.4. The table gives two torque values (T1 and T2) for each test specimen for all earthquake and fragility tests performed. The value, labeled T1 in Table 5.4, represents the peak torsional moment restrained by the clamp prior to rotation of the conduit (if rotation occurred) . The value, labeled T2, represents the peak torsional moment restrained by the clamp dur'ng rotation of the conduit, if rotation occurred.
No rotation occurred if the values of T1 and T2 are reported as equal. If rotation commenced at the onset of the test, a zerorotation torsional capacity could not be determined. Occasions when this happened are noted by Footnote 5 in Table 5.4 Clamp failures or instrumentation failures are conspicuous in the table by the absence of values for T1 and T2.
Data scatter in Table 5.4 is large. A discussion of the rotation phenomenon is warranted. Data presented for Test Specimens 1, 2 and 9 are extreme examples and in our opinion should not be used. During the testing of these specimens, several clamp / hardware change outs were made. The rotational phenomenon was found to be largely unpredictable and dependent on the following:
- The mechanical state of the other two specimen clamps.
Comanche Peak Conduit Tests, Document No. A-000197, Page 47 of 63
e Previous rotational history, e
Flexibility of the test specimen (prying action).
If one of the other two clamps (at S2 or $3) or both had loosened significantly or failed during a test, additional axial and vertical demand was placed on the clamp where torsional strains were sensed (at S1).
Further, failure or loosening of the remaining clamps increased test speci-men flexibility, hence increased prying action on the clamp of St. It is believed that increased prying action often loosened the attachment hardware at S1 permitting rotation to occur at a lower applied moment.
Clamps and their related attachment hardware were not replaced if rotation occurred without clamp / attachment hardware failure. When this occurred, the conduit was put back to its initial (pre-rotation) position and the attachment hardware retorqued to its initial value. Once rotation had occurred, it seemed more likely to do so again at a lesser value.
Adding weight to the test specimen not only increased the downward inertial loads (not sensed) at $1 which increased the tendancy to loosen attachment hardware, but, more importantly, increased the prying action (again not sensed) at the S1 location. It is believed that the increased prying action due to increased test specimen flexibility lead to lower peak torque values during testing with added weight.
5.3.3 Clamp Ultimate Capacities Strain data acquired at the load cells located at the center support (S2) were reviewed and combined to determine the ultimate (peak) load capacities of the clamps. These data are summarized in two ways on Tables 1
5.5 and 5.6. The numerical methods used to generate the values given here are contained in Volume VI, Appendix E.
Table 5.5 indicates the peak resultant load sensed at the clamp and the components which were combined by the square root of the sum of the squares method to determine the resultant. Also noted in Table 5.5 is the time in the data set when the peak resultant occurred and the estimated time when clamp failure occurred. In all cases where failure occurred, the peak resultant was sensed just prior to clamp failure.
Comanche Peak Conduit Tests, Document No. A-000197, Page 48 of 63
l t
In Tables 5.5 and 5.6, the indicated peak resultant force, the compo- '
)
nents making up the resultant, and the peak component forces have been cor- !
rected for inertial loading effects due to additional weight of bottom plate (s) on the load cells.
Specifically, Soecimens 5 through 7, 16 and 17 have these corrected values. Appendix E contains the calculations used to '
arrive at the inertial loading contribution. The method used assumes that the peak inertial loading occurs at the peak input acceleration: hence, con-servative numbers are generated for the inertial effects. All other speci-mens tabulated have not been corrected for inertial effects, due to the insignificance of these effects.
(Worst case error less than 5%.)
Table 5.6 indicates the peak x-direction shear, the peak y-direction shear and the peak 2-direction loads that the clamps experienced during the highest level tests prior to clamp failure. The times that these peak load components were sensed within the data sets is also indicated along with the remaining two components sensed at that instance in time. None of the peak components were sensed at the same instance in time for a given test specimen.
It is interesting to note that the resultants, which can be computed from the peak values at given instances in time from Table 5.6, are all less than or equal to the peak resultants presented in Table 5.5.
Test Specimen 16 appears to have its ultimate load capacity established by x-direction (longitudinal) shear since the SRSS load case including the peak x-shear was the largest of the three possible SRSS load
, combinations. The majority of the test specimens' clamp failures or ulti-mate load capacities (Test Specimens 1, 3 through 6, 9 through 13 and 18 through 20) appear to be established by the peak y-shear component for the same reasons. Finally, Test Specimens 2, 7, 8 and 17 appear to h- e had their ultimate capacities established by the 2-direction (vertical) load component.
