Progress report #3 : measured pressure equalized performance of two precast concrete panels : performance of pressure equalized rainscreen walls, a collaborative research and development project / author,...: NH18-1/380-1995E-PDF
"This report presents data from the experimental evaluation of two precast concrete sandwich panels which were supplied by the Canadian Precast Concrete Institute (CPCI). Each test specimen is 2.40 m high by 1.19 m. wide, and consists of a 100 mm thick precast concrete inner slab which acts as the air barrier, 50 mm of extruded polystyrene insulation, a 13 mm cavity, and a 64 mm precast concrete outer slab which acts as the rainscreen. The inner and outer slabs are connected by two vertical stainless steel trusses located 610 mm apart. The cavity of one specimen (Specimen 3) is a 13 mm air space, while the cavity of the other specimen (Specimen 4) is formed using 13 mm deep Miradrain™. Both cavities extend over the height and the width of the specimen. The experimental evaluation task consisted of pressure equalization, slab deflection, water penetration, and air leakage sub-tasks"--Executive summary, p. 1.
