Introduction
Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (Intertek) has conducted testing for Emmedue S.P.A on 4 x 8
and 4 x 14 Single Polystyrene PSM80 structural wall panels. The test method consisted of the
compression-flexural load. Emmedue wall systems are based on a series of foam polystyrene
panels and electro-welded steel wire meshes, whose shapes have been specially designed to
apply structural plaster during panel installation (Ref, 1, p. 3). These systems are capable of
multiple applications, such as quick installation and high thermal and sound capabilities (Ref 1,
p. 3). The purpose of these tests was to evaluate compression-flexural load structural
applications according to Section 4.2.2.4 of ICC AC 15, under the general guidelines of ASTM
E 72 - 05, Conducting Strength Tests of Panels for Building Construction. The results of each
test are presented in tabular and graphical form. In total, six specimens were tested under the
above loading configuration to measure the deflection and failure characteristics of each of the
wall systems. This evaluation began December 14, 2007 and was completed December 28,
2007.
NOTE: This test report is only for the compression-flexural tests performed. Refer to report
numbers 3083303SAT - 001, - 002, - 003, - 004, - 006, - 007, and - 008 (designated REV1,

SAMPLE AND ASSEMBLY DESCRIPTION
The Emmedue Single Panel PSM80 consists of a foam polystyrene core reinforced with a
galvanized steel wire mesh connected on both sides of the foam using corrugated steel bars.
The steel bars and mesh are electro-welded together for strength. There are approximately 82
connectors per square meter of foam surface. Below is a list of specifications of the PSM80
panels (Ref 1, p. 7). The numbers below were converted from metric to inch-pounds from the
Emmedue Operators Handbook.
Galvanized Steel Wire Mesh
1) Longitudinal wires with diameter of 0.121 inches spaced every 2.56 inches
2) Transversal wires with diameter of 0.099 inches spaced every 2.56 inches

Polystyrene Slab Thickness: 4
The Emmedue building system comprises of different wall, floor, and roof arrangements that are
finished on-site using sprayed mortar. Although different techniques exist for spray mortar, the
mortar mix used for this project consisted of Portland Cement, sand, and water. The client
recommends an average quantity of plaster (or mortar) of about 1 inch sprayed per side. These
panels are generally used for buildings of no more than 4 stories high, in seismic areas, for floor
slabs and covering slabs whose spans are 4 m (13.12 ft) at maximum (Ref. 1, p. 7).
For these tests, a mortar mix design was provided in order to meet the required wall structural
plaster specifications. The mortar mixing ratio (by weight) was provided as followed:
Portland Cement:
Sand:
Water:
100 lbs
280 lbs
5.0 gallons
The above numbers were provided by the client during sample construction. As indicated by
the Emmedue Operators Handbook (Ref. 1, p 27), the quantity of water should vary as humidity
and temperature changes are observed. Accordingly, modifications to the mixing ratio were
made as indicated by the weather conditions during mortar spraying. In all cases, the minimum
compressive mortar strength (fc) was 2500 psi at 28 days curing time. These results were
verified by performing mortar cylinder core tests at 7 and 28 days as per ACI 506.2, for each
batch made. Additional mortar cylinder core tests were also performed within 48 hours of the
completion of each set of three full-scale tests, as per AC 15, Section 4.2.2.4.
From the mortar cylinder core testing results obtained, it was found that no mortar core was
lower than 2500 psi at 28 days. Refer to report number 3083303SAT 008 for a complete
listing of all mortar core tests performed.

Testing and Evaluation Methods

Construction of Wall Assemblies
Six compression-flexural walls were tested and all were constructed in the same manner.
Construction of the 4 x 8 and 4 x 14 walls consisted of the following:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Single Panel PSM80

1/8 Rebar tie wire
1x10 #1 yellow pine lumber cut down to 6 wide
#8 x 2 wood deck screws
Mortar mixture (Portland Cement, sand, and water)
All of the samples had to be constructed at the Intertek-San Antonio facility. Panel assembly
first consisted of constructing a wooden frame around the perimeter of the PSM80 panel using
#8 x 2 wood deck screws and 1x10 #1 yellow pine lumber joists cut down to 6 wide. The
perimeter frame served two purposes: 1) as a support to assure that each wall was even and
plumb before mortar spraying, and 2) as a guide for applied proper mortar thickness. For the 8
foot walls, the 1/8 rebar tire wire was installed 32 from the top and bottom around the panel
and frame in order to hold the two pieces together. For the 14 foot walls, the rebar tie wire was
installed at 48 from top and bottom. Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for more details.

The walls were then sprayed with a mortar mixture of sand, water, and Portland Cement on
both sides using a plaster sprayer for walls provided by the client. Mortar specifications
included sand particles with less than 0.20 size and a slump of 2, at the appropriate ratio (refer
to Section 3.2, Sample and Assembly Description, for mixing ratio). The three ingredients were
mixed using a concrete mixer. A compressor capable of adjustment was used in order to
assure the client recommended 90 psi application pressure. Two layers of sprayed mortar were
applied to each side until the desired mortar thickness of 1 (+/- ) was achieved. The walls
were then smoothed out as much as possible using mortar trowels or any other straight smooth
device. Refer to Figures 4 through 7 for details.

ICC-AC 15 and ASTM E 72 - 05 Testing Procedures
Compression-Flexural Load Procedure (Uniform Compressive Load with Third-Point

Flexural Load)
All testing was performed according to ICC AC 15, Section 4.2.2.4, under the general
guidelines of ASTM E72 - 05, Section 12 loading procedure. The axial test rig consisted of an
immovable top plate (with rotating capability) and a movable beam which rides on vertical rails.
The axial test setup is capable of accommodating rotation of the test specimen at the top of the
wall due to the out-of-plane deflection with the load applied throughout the duration of the test
with the required eccentricity (Ref. 2, Section 4.4.1). However, for the compression-flexural
tests, the walls were installed into the axial frame with no eccentricity. All walls were centrally
loaded on their vertical axis. Hydraulic cylinders where placed underneath the movable beam.
Load cells were installed between the hydraulic cylinders and the movable beam to accurately
measure the applied loads. The walls were carefully lifted into the test frame with proper care in
order to avoid any damage due to handling. In order to evenly distribute the applied loads, two
pieces of EPDM rubber, 8 wide x 50 long x thick, were installed at the top and bottom of
each wall specimen. The rubber cap and footer accounted for any anomalies in the mortar as
the walls were axially and centrally loaded. The rubber was purchased at the request of the
client.
The flexural modifications of the test rig consisted of a steel rigid frame, specimen supports, a
hydraulic cylinder, and a cylinder support frame. The vertical transverse frame consisted of
positioning the specimen on the rigid axial frame with adjustable support bearings. The
specimen support consisted of two steel I-beams positioned horizontally on the top and bottom
of one side of the specimen. Each of these supports is capable of two-axis adjustments in order
to obtain the proper support span length. Directly touching the specimen was a thick x 3
wide x 72 long steel plate which assured even surface contact between the wall specimen and
the roller bar. A diameter steel rod was placed behind the steel plate to act as a roller
which allows the specimen to roll friction free as the specimen deforms under loaded conditions.
The same is done on the opposing end of the wall specimen. A plate-and-roller setup was
installed underneath the wall in order to allow friction free movement as the specimen is loaded.
Support span lengths were 93.0 inches (8 foot walls) and 165 inches (14 foot walls).
Once the specimen was positioned vertically on the frame, a secondary frame containing the
hydraulic cylinder was rolled into position. The hydraulic cylinder was bolted horizontally to the
support frame for third-point flexural loading. The loading I-beam and the roller bearings were
also attached to the front of the hydraulic cylinder. The purpose of the loading bearings was to
evenly distribute the load through two points under third-point loading conditions. The bearings
were positioned 31 inches apart for the 8 foot walls and 55 inches for the 14 foot walls. These
two loading bearings were of the same specifications as the end reaction bearings. A loading Ibeam was then positioned perpendicular to the loading bearings exactly at the midpoint of the
wall (24 inches in width). Due to time constraints and difficulty in setup, a load cell was not
installed between the loading beam and the wall. Loads were measured using a calibrated
pressure gauge.
Once the flexural support frame was positioned in front of the wall, it was then attached to the
rigid axial frame at four locations to assure that no movement occurred during loading. The wall
was now ready to be instrumented. The deflection measurement gauges consisted of six spring
Emmedue

loaded 4 low voltage displacement transducers (LVDT) capable of 0.001 inch resolution.
Transducer data is logged and stored via a data acquisition unit. The transducers are
supported using mechanical adjustable arms with a magnetic base that connect to a rigid steel
bar which are attached to cinder blocks. The blocks rest on the concrete floor of the laboratory.
All testing was performed according to Section 4.2.2.4 of ICC AC 15, under the general
guidelines of ASTM E 72 - 05, Section 12 loading procedure. Three linear transducers (with
0.001 inch resolution) were placed centrally along the lateral dimension of the specimen at
opposite sides of the specimen along the short dimension (width) no more than 2 from the
specimen edge. These transducers were installed on the back side of the wall. Four
transducers (LVDT) were placed on each corner of the specimen (front side) at 1 in from the
side and at 1 in from the top and bottom ends to measure any out of plane deflections as it is
loaded. Two linear transducers (with 0.001 in. resolution) where placed on the specimen 2
from the bottom of the wall each on the back side of the specimen as per ASTM E 72, Section
9. These linear transducers where installed such that as the load is applied, the axial
deformation of the specimen is measured. For the 8 ft high walls, the lateral transducers were
installed 4 ft from the top at 21 spacing. For the 14 ft walls, they were installed 7 ft from the top
at 21 spacing.
A pre-load (not to exceed 10% of the ultimate load) was applied to the wall specimen in order to
assure that the wall does not fall out of the frame. This initial preload was only applied for 5
minutes in order to stabilize the wall. After the 5 minutes, the walls were slowly loaded to a
predetermined target load for each set of walls. The load rate was approximately 5000
lbs/minute. The target loads chosen for each set of walls were determined by taking half of the
average of three axial-compression walls (i.e. After testing the 8 foot axial walls, the average
allowable load of the three walls was found to be approximately 93,000 lbs, therefore half of this
load value was used as the constant axial load).
Once the constant axial load is achieved, the flexural pre-load was then applied to wall. The
flexural pre-load for all the walls tested was approximately 1130 lbs, which is the standby
pressure of the hydraulic pump. Once the flexural pre-load is applied, an initial reading is made.
All set load readings are taken at this pre-load reading, which is labeled as the zero mark.
Once this measurement is made, the flexural load is increased slightly which in turn applies a
third-point load to the specimen. This load is applied for 5 minutes during which time deflection
measurements are made as a function of time (as soon as it is practical after initial loading and
at the end of the 5 minute period). After the 5 minute period, the load is decreased to the zero
load (a.k.a. the predetermined pre-load) for 5 minutes during which time deflection
measurements are made as a function of time (as soon as it is practical after initial un-loading,
and at the end of the 5 minute period). The process is repeated in increments of n of initial
load (n = 2, 3, 4,) until a predetermined number of data points is obtain to effectively plot a
load-deflection curve. Once the appropriate number of points is reached, the instruments are
removed and the test specimen is loaded to failure. Refer to Figures 8 through 11 for the
compression-flexural test setup.
NOTE: As the walls were third-point loaded in the lateral direction, the axial-compressive load
was held constant throughout the duration of the test (including loading to ultimate failure).

4.2.1. ICC AC 15 and ASTM E 72 - 05 Notes
These tests were performed in accordance to ICC- AC 15 and under the general guidelines of
ASTM E72 05. As per ICC AC 15, six specimens were tested, using two different
configurations and/or heights. The tested specimens consisted of equal widths (4 feet), equal
thicknesses (6 inches), and two different height configurations (8 feet and 14 feet).

According to AC 15, Section 4.2.2.4 three mortar cylinder cores shall be tested within 48 hours
of the completion of each set of full-scale tests. This procedure was performed for each set of
constructed walls, in addition to 7 and 28 day mortar cores for each batch of mortar mixed. For
example, if a set of walls required two applications of sprayed mortar on each side, then six
mortar cylinder cores were made for each batch of sprayed mortar (tested at 7 and 28 days for
each batch). The mortar cores were made under the general guidelines of ACI 506.2 95,
Specification for Shotcrete. Under the ACI 506.2 code, Section 1.6.1.1, the preparation of the
shotcrete mortar cylinder core panels was to be made according to ASTM C 1140, Preparing
and Testing Specimens from Shotcrete Test Panels. According to ASTM C 1140, Section 5,
the forms for making shotcrete mortar cores shall be made of wood or steel construction and
sufficiently rigid to prevent dislodging of the shotcrete through vibration or deformation. The
forms were constructed of 1x6 #1 yellow pine lumber, 2x4 #2 yellow pine lumber, plywood,
and #8 x 1 wood deck screws. The interior dimensions of the forms constructed were 24
wide x 24 long x 3 deep, as indicated in Section 5 of ASTM C 1140. One form was
constructed for each time a new batch of mortar was made. From each form, a total of
approximately 25 cores could be made at one time. Refer to Figure 12 for details.
Figure 12: Wooden form for mortar core sampling
Once the wooden form was made, the mortar was sprayed into the form until it covered the
entire 3 depth. The mortar was allowed to settle naturally with no help of any mechanical
means (concrete vibrator, mixing rod, etc.). The top of the form was then smoothed out with a
trowel (or any other suitable straight smoothing device) and was then moved indoors and
allowed to cure for a minimum of 24 hours. Each sprayed form was properly labeled and sealed
using plastic sheathing and shrink wrap to maintain the proper moisture. Refer to Figures 13
through 18 for details.

After a minimum curing time of 24 hours, the forms were transported to an outside core testing
facility and cored for the number of samples indicated. Coring was made using a specialized
coring drill with a diamond bit. Once the samples were cored, they were properly labeled,
measured, weighed, sulfur capped, and stored in a 100% humidity moisture room until tested.

The Allowable Load for each set of three walls was calculated under the guidelines of AC 15,
Section 4.3, Paragraph 2, which states the following:
The average maximum strength from each set of tests may be the average ultimate value,
provided the ultimate value for each test is within 15 percent of the average. Otherwise, the
lowest ultimate value shall be used.
Refer to Appendix A for Load vs. Deflection curves for all compression-flexural tests.
Compression-flexural testing was performed according to Section 4.2.2.4 of ICC - AC 15, under
the general guidelines of Section 12 of ASTM E 72 - 05.

The mid-span mean for each wall was calculated by subtracting the average of the outer four
dials from the lateral (middle) dials:
Mid-Span Mean = Average Lateral (Middle) Dials Average Outer Dials
The Stiffness (EI) for each wall was calculated from the maximum deflection equation of a
simply-supported beam under third-point loading conditions. The maximum deflection used in
the calculation was the maximum deflection recorded at the last target load obtained.
Stiffness EI = [23 * P * (L^3)] / (648 * Max Deflection)
Statistical analysis calculations were computed using the linear regression analysis method
included in Microsoft Excel (command LINEST).
A CD copy of all the assembly, setup, and test photos will be provided to the client.

Additional Notes:
Ultimate
10728
Wall failed suddenly. Failure occurred 1:18 seconds into holding load
Horizontal shear failure approx 25 inches from the bottom all along panel width
Shear break was in direction of the applied lateral load
Mortar crusing present at bottom rear of wall (compression side, Transducer 3 and 4 locations)
No other visual damage present
*The lateral (transverse) loads reported are the piston force only
*Axial (compressive) load held constant throughout test
*All axial-transverse walls rested vertically on cylindrical rollers to prevent restrained end conditions. The axes of the rollers were installed parallel to the faces of the wall
*At Load = 1555 lbs, Transducers 3 and 4 showing significant movement. Mortar cracks found at those two locations. Photos taken.
Transducers were not repositioned due to bearing location. Deflections continued to increase throughout test
*Positive numbers indicate transducers extending outward; Negative numbers indicate transducers extending inward
*The wall stiffness (EI) was calculated from the maximum lateral (transverse) deflection equation of a simply supported beam under third-point loading
*Ruben Caputo, representing Emmedue S.P.A, present during test

Panel Failure

Ultimate
10648
Wall failed suddenly.Failure occurred 1:50 seconds into holding load

Horizontal shear failure approx between 46 inches from the bottom all along panel width (tension side)
On compression side, failure was between 46 and 58 inches. Break was in direction of the applied lateral load
Very little cracking and popping was heard just before wall failed
No additional visible damage present
*Prior to test, it was found that testing this wall uniformly on both mortar faces was extremely difficult to adjust. Attempts were made to insert a rubber membrane
underneath the compression (rear) side of the wall. The client, present during testing, was made aware of this problem. It was the decision of both the client and the test engineer
to move one with the test.
*Cesar Cordoba, representing Emmedue S.P.A, present during test
