The placement pressure test (photo 1.1) was conducted on a 5 million pound Baldwin-Lima Hamilton universal testing machine. A pressure bladder was used to apply pressure loading to the form panel surfaces, simulating in-situ pressure applied by fluid concrete during placement. The machine cross-head was lowered to approximately 6 inches from the form panel. Then a pressure bladder was inserted between the form surface and the machine cross head and slowly inflated to apply pressure to the assembly. 
Load cells (photo 1.2) and displacement sensors were installed to measure the response of the panel assemblies during testing. All sensors were connected to a Campbell Scientific CR5000 digital data acquisition system. The CR5000 employs 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion. Data were recorded at a constant rate of 1 sample per second for the duration of each test. The tests were conducted numerous times with an ultimate pressure of 3,000 PSF.
