Strong Wall

At the center of the east wall is a post-tensioned strong wall that is 20 ft wide, 19 ft high and 2 ft thick (6.1 x 5.8 x 0.61 m). The wall is perforated with tie-down holes on the same 2 ft by 2 ft (0.61 x 0.61 m) grid as the test floor. The wall may be used in conjunction with modular reaction blocks to permit a variety of reaction and anchorage loading configurations including L-shaped systems.
