- Abstract
- For the program on the determination of the structural properties of low-cost house constructions, the Structural Clay products Institute submitted 9 specimens representing a reinforced-brick wall construction and 18 specimens representing a brick-tile cavity-wall construction. The reinforced-brick wall specimens were subjected to compressive, transverse, concentrated, impact, and racking loads. The transverse, concentrated, and impact loads were applied to both faces of the birck-tile cavity-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, except for concentrated loads, for which the set only was determined. The results are presented graphically and in a tables.
