- Abstract
- For the program on the determination of the structural properties of low-cost house constructions, the National CoConcrete Masonry Assiciation, Chicalo, IL, submitted 48 specimens representing 3 wall constructions, 2 of which consisted of brick facing and concrete-block backing, the ohter of concrete blocks only. The specimens were subjected to compressive, transverse, specimens to impact and concentrated loads. The transverse, concentrated, and impact loads were applied to both faces of the brick-concrete-block wall constructions. 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 in graphs and in tables.
