RACKING AND BENDING TESTS FOR PREFABRICATED WALL PANELS

The goal of this research was to evaluate and recommend improvement of wall-to-wall connections for prefabricated wall panels. Results of 6 racking tests and 9 bending tests on full-size 2.44 by 2.44 m walls are presented. The specimens were composed of two 1.22 by 2.44 m segments attached with thre...
