ISO 7844:1985 PDF Download

ISO 7844:1985 standard is a laboratory mechanical testing method that aims to determine the relationship between tangential loading and relative displacement for specific types of vertical joints between large reinforced concrete panels. The standard is applicable to vertical joints between large wall panels that meet the specified conditions.

The purpose of the tests is to examine the performance of grooved vertical joints with connecting bars and concrete infill when subjected to tangential loading. These tests provide valuable insights into the behavior of these joints and their resistance to external forces.

By conducting these mechanical tests, engineers and researchers can assess the joint's ability to maintain its structural integrity under different types and magnitudes of tangential loading. The findings from these tests can then be used to inform the design and implementation of grooved vertical joints with connecting bars and concrete infill in reinforced concrete structures.
