*1
Minimum 1" Thick Portland Cement on both surfaces


Portland Ciment épaisseure minimum de 25.4mm sur les deux surfaces
*2
Minimum 1" Thick Portland Cement with a minimum compressive strenght of 1,000 psi on one face and 7/8" thick gypsum plaster on the opposite (interior) face.

Portland Ciment épaisseure minimum de 25.4mm avec force de compression de 1,000psi (6,896.6 kPa) ou (68.9476 bar) sur une surface,
et 7/8" (23mm minimum) Platre Gypsum sur la surface opposee (interieure)
*3
Normal construction allows plaster to extend approximately 3/8" outside of floor slab. When full bearing of entire panel (including plaster) the allowable axial load for the 8 and 12 foot high panels may be increased to 5,000 and 4,200 pounds per lineal foot of panel, respectively, and the racking shear to 425 pounds per lineal foot of panel.

La construction normale permet au plâtre de depasser approximativement de 3/8" sur la foundation. Quand le panneau entier (plâtre y compris), la charge axiale permise pour les panneaux de 8' (2.43m) et 12' (3.65m)  peut etre augmentee a 5,000lb/lft (7,439 kilo/m) et 4,200lb/lft (6,248 kilo/m), respectivement, et le racking shear a 425lb/lft (632.31kilo/m)
