- Abstract
- For the program on the determination of the structural properties of low-cost house constructions, the Masonry Construction Section of the National Bureau of Standards built 24 specimens representing two nonreinforced monolithic concrete wall constructions. The only difference in their construction was in the proportions of the concrete. The specimens were subjected to compressive, transverse, impact, concentrated, 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.
