at the distances <strong>of</strong> 25 <strong>and</strong> 50 cm away from the center. The elastic deformation (i.e., the rebound<br />

during the unloading <strong>of</strong> each cycle) as shown in figure 4.49 increased up <strong>to</strong> 200 cycles <strong>of</strong> loading<br />

<strong>and</strong> then decreased slightly at a small rate until the end <strong>of</strong> the test. The elastic deformation was<br />

much smaller than the permanent deformation <strong>and</strong> was less than 10% <strong>of</strong> the permanent<br />

deformation at the end <strong>of</strong> the test.<br />
