Experimental testing of a proprietary, lightweight concrete panel system for housing applications in Haiti : a report submitted to the faculty of the Milwaukee School of Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Structural Engineering / by Matthew Peterson. by Peterson, Matthew, author., Milwaukee School of Engineering Subjects Concrete panels -- Testing.   Reinforced concrete construction -- Formwork   Framing (Building)   Strains and stresses   Plastics in building   MSST Project. Description:  71 leaves : illustrations, some of which are in color ; 29 cm. Contents:  Background, introduction and literature review -- Methods -- Experimental program -- Discussion and recommendations -- Appendix A: Notes on initial panel damage. In 2007, Rod Ingram began developing concrete panels with a composite cross-section for housing construction in Haiti. The panels are constructed of cement mortar, expanded polystyrene concrete, and welded wire mesh. A mathematical model has been developed to determine the flexural capacity of the panels based on their various variables including cement mortar mix proportions, water to cement ratio, amount of flexural steel, and EPS concrete strength. Experimental testing was performed on these panels to validate the capacity estimates generated from the mathematical model. The main results generated from testing conclude that the concrete mortar strength does not significantly influence the overall capacity of the panels, however it does have a direct relationship with panel ductility. Upon completion of the experimental program, it is recommended that changes be made to the current design of the concrete panels to ensure adequate performance when used in construction in Haiti.
