Summary of Test Method4.1 The tensile and bending capacity of the paneled wallsystem is determined by apply
8、ing a simultaneous tensile andtransverse load to a wall specimen. This is accomplished byanchoring one end of the specimen and applying a tensile loadto the opposing end while applying a transverse load; see Figs.1 and 2. The forces required to deflect the specimen and thecorresponding displacements
