Fire Resistance of Walls of Lightweight-Aggregate Concrete Masonry Units
The results of fire-endurance and hose-stream tests of 16 walls of lightweight aggregate concrete masonry units are given. The aggregates used in the manufacture of the units were cinders, expanded shale, pumice, or expanded slag. The constructions ranged from 3-in. nonload-bearing partitions to 10-in. load-bearing walls with no framed-in members and included brick-faced exterior bearing walls. The fire-resistance values indicated by the tests are noted for thickness of the wall, the moisture content at the time of the test, and the kind of aggregate used in the units. Hose-stream tests conducted at the end of the fire-endurance tests indicated that walls of lightweight-aggregate concrete masonry units met the requirements.
