- Abstract
- For the program on the determination of the structural properties of low-cost house constructions, the Curren Fabrihome Corporation submitted 18 spceimens representing their "Fabrihome" constructions for walls and partitions. The specimens were subjected to transverse, concentrated, and impact loads. The loads were applied to both faces of wall specimens. For each of these loads three like specimens were tested. The deformation under load and the set after the load was removed were measured for uniform increments of load up to the maximum load, except for concentrated loads, for which the set only was determined. The results are presented graphically and in a table.
