 <fs medium>For Phase III testing of full-scale concrete wall panels may be difficult given the capacities of the vacuum chamber equipment we are able to configure.  While it would be preferred to test a full-scale panel similar to one that would be used in a practical application it is believed that acceptable results and conclusions will be obtained from scaled down panels as well.</fs> <fs medium>For Phase III testing of full-scale concrete wall panels may be difficult given the capacities of the vacuum chamber equipment we are able to configure.  While it would be preferred to test a full-scale panel similar to one that would be used in a practical application it is believed that acceptable results and conclusions will be obtained from scaled down panels as well.</fs>
