a test panel composed of longitudinal 6 mm rods at 75. mm (3") centres, and
transverse rods at 100 mm (4") centres with four layers of 19 gauge galvanized
hexagonal mesh on either side have with a mortar cover of 3 mm (1/8") an average
thickness of 25 mm (1"), with and average weight of 54 kg/m2 (11 lbs/ft2). Yield load
was 559 kg (1254 lb), modules of rupture 208 kg/ cm2 (3014 lb/in2) and modules of
elasticity at initial tangent 0.172 .7( 106 kg/mm 2,48 x 106 lb/in2).
