Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Findings of load/stress tests to determine structural behaviour of walls
German term or phrase: bezogene Werte
Last question - I won't bother you anymore ;-)

The paragraph describes the presentation of findings of deformation tests performed at timber wall elements/components. Here goes (term in ***):

"Wie aus der Tabelle 5.2 und den zugehörigen Anmerkungen zu ersehen ist, wurden zusätzlich zu den quasi statischen Verformungszyklen mit den Auslenkungen von 2, 4 und 8 mm jeweils 10 Verformungszyklen ohne Haltepausen durchgeführt. Damit sollten erste Hinweise auf Auswirkungen wiederholter Verformungen auf die Schubsteifigkeit gewonnen werden. In den Tabellen 6.4, 6.5 und 6.6. sind die Veränderungen aufgeführt, die die Summen der Extremwerte der Kräfte durch diese zusätzlichen Verformungszyklen erfahren. Diese Veränderungen, die in kN und als ***bezogene Werte*** (Bezugswerte sind die oben beschriebenen Summen) angegeben sind, zeigen für kleine Verformungen keine einheitliche Tendenz ..."

My attempt: specific values (provided Bezugswerte = reference values)

I'm specifically looking for an AE term, if any.

MTIA once again for your help,

Explanation:
Hi Steffen.

In meine Erfahrung sind bezogene Werte "relative values". Allerdings finde ich der Text oben sehr schwierig und es ist mir daher nicht klar worauf die Werte bezogen sind. Relativ zu den Extremwerte der Kräfte?

Ja, na dann :-) Relativ dazu.

I used "relative values" in my translation but, after several failed attempts to get end customer feedback, I am still not entirely sure if this is indeed correct. Thanks anyway, Alan, for your *valuable* support (and Klaus as well).
