Fire-endurance tests were conducted of 54 solid and 19 hollow brick walls, supplemented by 10 fire and hose-stream tests. The fire-resistance limit of 4-in. clay and shale brick walls was found. Plaster on both sides increased the limit. For clay and shale brick solid walls of 8-in. thickness, the 5 hour fire-resistance limit was increased to 7 hr when the walls were plastered on both sides. For solid 8- and 12-in. walls of concrete and sand-lime bricks, the fire-resistance, limits were found 1 to 2 hr higher than for comparable walls of clay and shale bricks.
