Seismic Behavior Assessment for Ercolith System(Germany) (2010)
Description: Ercolith is a new technology which combines advantages of light-weight concrete and insulated forming of columns. BHRC of IRAN registered these walls as non-bearing building elements. But studies showed that there is a possibility for considering their bearing capacity for lateral loading, which is the subject of this contract.
Type of Order: Theoretical investigations and structural tests for seismic behavior assessment of Ercolith elements, and registering technical specifications proposal at BHRC
