- Abstract
- For the program on the determination of the structural properties of low-cost house constructions, the Munlock Engineering Co. submitted 12 specimens representing their "Munlock Dry Wall Brick" wall construction. The specimens were subjected to compressive, transverse, concentrated, impact, and racking 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 a table.
