Full-scale testing of structural components can be time consuming and difficult. The design of full-scale slender concrete walls is highly influenced and controlled by second-order and out-of-plane bending loads. Previous experiments on out-plane bending of slender walls and insulated walls have been performed with bending in the direction of gravity (with or against). Additionally, most of the research considering out-of-plane bending does not include an axial load and suffers from inaccurate results due to not simulating the actual loading and constraining conditions or safety issues. This testing method was developed expressly for the determination of slender wall behavior in insulated concrete panels and verified on solid slender walls, which are well understood. The testing setup presented has the following advantages•Reduces the risk of cracking panel prior to testing and provides safe and rapid testing.•Offers ease of implementation in labs with height restrictions, given sufficient floor space.•Integrates axial and lateral uniform loading.
对结构构件进行全面测试可能既耗时又困难。全尺寸细长混凝土墙的设计受到二阶和平面外弯曲荷载的高度影响和控制。先前关于细长墙和隔热墙平面外弯曲的试验是在重力方向（顺重力或逆重力）进行弯曲试验的。此外，大多数考虑平面外弯曲的研究没有包括轴向荷载，并且由于没有模拟实际加载和约束条件或安全问题而导致结果不准确。这种测试方法是专门为确定隔热混凝土板中细长墙的性能而开发的，并在众所周知的实心细长墙上进行了验证。所介绍的测试装置具有以下优点：•降低测试前面板开裂的风险，并提供安全快速的测试。•在有高度限制的实验室中，只要有足够的地面空间，就易于实施。•集成了轴向和横向均匀加载。
