1.6.2.The overload test involves the gradual increase of the horizontal load by incre
ments of 5 % of the initial energy requirement up to a maximum of 20 % of energy added (see Figure 10c of Annex IV).1.6.2.1.The overload test is satisfactory if, after each increase by 5 %, 10 % or 15 % in the energy required, the force decreases by less than 3 % for a 5 % increment and remains more than 0,8 Fmax.1.6.2.2.The overload test is satisfactory if, after the structure has absorbed 20 % of the added energy, the force exceeds 0,8 Fmax
.1.6.2.3.A ...[+++]dditional cracks or tears and/or entry into or lack of protection of the zone of clearance due to elastic deflection are permitted during the overload test.
0,8 F max.1.6.2.2.L'essai de surcharge est satisfaisant si, après que la structure a absorbé 20 % de l'énergie ajoutée, la force reste supérieure à 0,8 F max.1.6.2.3.Les fractures ou les fissures supplémentaires et/ou la pénétration dans la zone de dégagement ou l'absence de protection de cette zone à la suite d'une déformation élastique sont autorisées pendant l'essai de surcharge.
