A STUDY OF LOADING, STRUCTURAL RESPONSE, AND DEBRIS CHARACTERISTICS OF WALL PANELS.

Abstract

The objective of the program was to study the loading, structural response, and debris characteristics of wall panels. The report describes technical progress and reports many test results. Correlations between theory and test results for panel failure phenomena are presented and discussed. Also provided are rather complete appendices on shock tunnel calibration, on shock tunnel evaluation studies, and on concurrent static test programs. The emphasis to date has been on nonreinforced brick wall panels with some tests on timber stud walls. (Author)
