[A report on tests of full scale brick veneer/steel stud walls to determine strength and rain penetration characteristics] / [prepared for Project Implementation Division, Canada Mortgage and Housing...: NH18-1/394-1990E-PDF
“The design, construction and physical testing of five full scale (2.75 m x 5.2 m) brick veneer rain screen wall specimens are reported. Also, the documentation of the design and fabrication of a new test apparatus and of the development of test procedures are major components of the report. The test program included sequences of air pressure loading stages both with and without simulated rain to establish both the structural and rain penetration performance of the test walls. The test walls included four brick veneer/steel stud specimens and one brick veneer/concrete block specimen. Additional tests were performed on bricks, mortar and masonry assemblages to define relevant characteristics"--Abstract, p. v.
