Load tests were conducted to evaluate the effects of each
detailing scheme on end-region capacity. Test results are
presented in terms of superimposed shear, which is defined
as the shear due to the applied load. Self-weight is not
included in superimposed shear. Displacement results are
presented as vertical displacement at the load point. Results
have been adjusted to remove the effects of bearing-pad
displacement. Figure 8 presents shear-displacement data
and shear-strand slip data. Slip data are presented as the average
slip of all monitored fully bonded strands. Specimen
LB was excluded from Fig. 8 due to minimal slip.
