As part of the evaluation of a housing system proposed under Operation Breakthrough, fire endurance tests were performed at the National Bureau of Standards on an exterior wall assembly and a roof/ceiling assembly. Both constructions were assemblies of sandwich panels composed of a paper honeycomb core with sheet steel facings. The test method was in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E 119 for loadbearing structures. The results of these tests are valid only for walls and roof/ceilings of such constructions described in the report and loaded at or below the stress levels developed by these loadings. The fire endurance time of the wall assembly was noted.
