A series of structural evaluation tests performed on components and materials intended for use in one of the Operation BREAKTHROUGH housing systems is described. Four samples of steel faced, paper honeycomb, sandwich panel material and four full size prototype roof panels were evaluated. The samples of sandwich panel material were used to evaluate the variability of panel material properties and the effect of aging on tensile and shear strength. The roof panels were used to determine the behavior in service considering the effects of adverse environmental conditions on ultimate strength and mode of failure. In addition, the performance of one panel under sustained loading was evaluated. (Author).
