Fire endurance tests were conducted on two floor/ceiling assemblies intended for use in modular housing. One assembly simulated the combination of the floor of an upper story module with the ceiling assembly of the module beneath; the other assembly, the floor of a first floor module over a ceilingless crawl or foundation space. The floors were of plywood deck with vinyl or carpet overlay on light gage steel C joists. In the floor-ceiling assembly, the ceiling was separately supported on its own joists, contained simulated duct work and a layer of glass fiber batt insulation. The test results are valid only for floors of similar construction loaded at or below the stress level developed by this loading.
