Supplementary tests on particleboard sheathed, timber framed bracing walls. Stage 2 : to: Australian Particleboard Research Institute - Project: T74/509
"This report discusses the results, observations and recommendations made following three initial tests in flexure, racking, and uplift performed on 6 mm Texpan sheated wall panels. Two panels were framed in 70 x 45 mm framing Radiata pine. Two further tests in racking and uplift were performed 90 x 45 mm framing, one sheathed with 6 mm Fineline and the other with 6 mm Texpan. All tests were of short duration and under laboratory conditions."--p. (i).
