This required carefully removing the head joint without disturbing adjoining bed joints in testing areas. Steel loading blocks were then fabricated to fit the size of the end of the brick to be tested, and calibration of the hydraulic ram to be used was then done (see calibration sheets). This was all performed on May 2, 2000. On May 3, 2000, actual testing took place and all test results are included. We understand that a minimum of 30 PSI was required, and all tests exceeded the minimum. If we can be of any more help on this project or if you have any questions please do not hesitate to give us a call.
