At the request of the company AMILFI, bonding test on C channels and deflection test on
the stay-in-place COFOR wall were performed in order to determine the bonding
capacity of the C channels and the behaviour of the wall under instantaneous linear loads.

The COFOR System is a formwork made of two panels with vertical C channel made of
folded steel with 2 grids made of rib lath, connected with zigzag loop in steel. The panels
are manufactured and assembled in the factory.

The two walls were poured on September 19, 2002 from the same concrete whose
composition is given in exhibit 5.2.
The slump according to [2] was 10 cm.
The formwork were placed vertically and poured in 70 cm layers. Between each layer,
concrete was vibrated externally with a wooden hammer.
After concreting, the exterior was swept out to clean the excessive chalk.
The mechanical characteristics (resistance in compression and in traction by splitting
according to [3]) and the characteristics of concrete are given in exhibit 5.3.

CSTB
a force sensor BETA type N 1370, with +/- 50 kN stretching capacity, measures
the total load applied to the sample. The measuring device is classified class 1
according to Norm NF EN 10002-2 [5].
A displacement sensor CHAUVIN-ARNOUX, type L10R, with +/- 5 mm
stretching capacity, measures the sliding of C channel from the wall. The
displacement sensor is classified as class 0.2 according to Norm NF E 11-063 [6].

MEASUREMENT DEVICE
It is made of:
-
A force sensor BETA type N 1370, with +/- 200 kN stretching capacity, measures
the total load applied to the tested product. The measuring device is classified as
class 1 according to Norm NF EN 10002-2 [5].
A set of 4 displacement sensors CHAUVIN-ARNOUX, type L20R, with +/- 10
mm stretching capacity, measures the vertical displacement of the panel. The
displacement sensors are classified as class 0.2 according to Norm NF E 11-063
[6].

The electric signals, transmitted by measurement instruments are received and processed
by the following chain:
- A data acquisition central unit (HP 3421 A or HO 3497 for acquisition frequencies
lower than 1 Hz, HP 75000 VXi for frequencies below 10 kHz, HP 3852 for frequencies
below 50
kHz),
- An acquisition and data processing software designed by CSTB
- Peripheral equipment as necessary
