Fire Endurance Test of a Wood Stud Interdwelling Double Wall Construction.

摘要

As a part of the evaluation of a housing system proposed under Operation Breakthrough a standard fire endurance test was performed on a double wall construction representing a non-load-bearing interdwelling wall for single family attached housing. The double wall which represented an interdwelling separation between two adjacent modules,was made up of two identical parallell walls separated by a 1/2inch air space. Each wall contained two layers of fire-rated gypsum board attached to wood stud framing on the dwelling room side. Since the test assembly represented a non-bearing wall,no load was applied during this test. (Modified author abstract)
