- Abstract
- For the program on the determination of the structural properties of low-cost house constructions, the Tilecrete Co., submitted 6 (six) specimens representing its "Tilecrete Type A" floor constructions. The specimens were subjected to transverse, impact, and concentrated loads. For each of the 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. The results are presented in graphs and in tables.
