• Abstract:

  This report summarizes results to date of research on the thermal transmittance through small hollow concrete masonry walls. The research program includes manufacture and testing of four walls, as summarized in the letter of March 24, 1959 from Frank G. Erskine, Managing Director of the Expanded Shale, Clay and Slate Institute, Washington DC to Professor G.E. Troxell, University of California, Berkeley, California.The data reported herein cover only the testing of Wall No. 1, described in the letter of March 24, 1959. This wall was constructed with 8 x 8 x 16-in. concrete blocks having 1-3/8 in. (average) face shells. The concrete blocks were provided, through the Institute by the Carter-Waters Corp., Kansas City, Missouri.
