Operation Breakthrough: Fire Endurance Test of an Interdwelling Double Wall Assembly for Single Family Housing. (Test No. 498).

摘要

As a part of the evaluation of a housing system proposed under Operation BREAKTHROUGH, a standard fire endurance test was performed at the National Bureau of Standards on a double wall assembly comprising a loadbearing interdwelling wall for single family attached housing. The test method was in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E119,Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials. The applied load of 1100pounds per linear foot (plf) per wall was that contemplated by the design and the test results are valid only for walls of similar construction loaded at or below the stress level developed by this loading.
