Fire tests of joints between precast concrete wall panels: Effect of various joint treatments

摘要

style="text-align: left;">Reports the results of 14 fire tests of three-piece wall panel specimens. Design information is given on the fire endurance of wall panel joints as affected by joint type, joint width, joint material, and panel  thickness.  >References style="text-align: left;">1.
