As a part of the evaluation of housing systems for Operation BREAKTHROUGH, a loadbearing exterior wall assembly was subjected to a standard fire endurance test. The test method was generally in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E-119, Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials. The applied load of 530 pounds per linear foot (plf) was representative of 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. The wall panel consisted of corrugated aluminum sheets on the exterior face and two layers of type X gypsum board on the interior face. The faces were separated by 2 x 2 in (nominal) wood framing strips and 2-1/2 inch thick fiberglass batt insulation was compressed into the cavity. (Author Modified Abstract)
