  • that's freakin' awesome..

  • Was that dura wall in the first test that didn't fall and the second test without. Or was it in both and the second one too spaced out.

  • It may be a good thing that the brick exterior would fall away and not pull the entire wall away. The falling debris poses a serious problem for safety. I would like to see more movement tolerance by improving tensile strength. Tie in walls at closer ranges with eqaul range space value. include more control joints to allow more differential movement

  • where are the wall ties?

  • nice
