National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Comparison of the Behavior of Clay and Concrete Masonry in Compression.

PB93212876

Publication Date	1985
Personal Author	Atkinson, R. H.; Kingsley, G. R.
Page Count	164
Abstract	The objective of the study was to conduct parallel compression tests of clay and concrete masonry prisms under essentially identical conditions, and to determine if the two materials may justifiably be considered identical for purposes of design. In addition, an effort was made to exercise careful control of laboratory practices as a step towards better standardization of laboratory procedures (The laboratory practices will be documented in separate reports).
