Title Shock resistance of light roofing plates
Original title Résistance au choc des plaques de couverture légère [in French]
Bibliographic information 2nd Quarter 1995, No.159, Note No.1990-159-95, p.231-242. Illus. 13 ref.
Abstract The method used to test shock resistance of reinforced asbestos-cement plates was adapted to the testing of 44 types of light roofing plates. Tensile tests on notched and unnotched specimens demonstrated the possible effects of ageing, notches and above all temperature on plate resistance. The influence of the conditions of mounting and the statistical significance of the results are also discussed. The resistance values announced for the plates tested should be considered as indications rather than specifications.
