**   All pile sections must be filled with gravel to ensure the web is fully supported and the shear load is transferred from flange to flange by the fill material. Sheer load must be applied by continuous beam or whaler on the face of the wall.
Note: A significantly stronger wall will be created using reinforced steel and concrete fill..
t   I (theoretical) is moment of inertia as calculated for the shape and adjusted to a per foot basis.
a   I (apparent) is moment of inertia determined experimentally by a full scale test and measuring the deflection of the wall. This is the value for moment of inertia that would predict the deflections that were measured across a range of known loads. This number is also adjusted to a per foot basis.
***  Based on published data by US Army Corps of Engineers Report #ERDC/  CRREL LR-03-19
****  For comparative purposes, the total material wall thickness listed should be doubled due to the Truline double wall design.

Architectural Testing

Report No. 60103.01-122-44

 

A performance test on the TRULINE 1200 series was conducted by Architectural Testing, Inc., in November 2005. ATI is a premier testing, third party laboratory with a reputation for accuracy and integrity that attracts the world's top manufacturers of building products. Location: 130 Derry Court, York, PA 17402, Ph (717) 764-7700.
