As a part of the evaluation of a housing system proposed under Operation Breakthrough, a fire endurance test was performed at the National Bureau of Standards on a double wall assembly intended as an interdwelling separation for single family attached housing. Each wall of the assembly contained a core of paper honeycomb surfaced on both sides with glass fabric impregnated with polyester resin, and protective layers of gypsum board. The test method was generally in accordance with the requirements of ASTM E 119. The applied live load was 636 plf on each panel and the results of this test are valid only for walls of similar construction loaded at or below the stress levels developed by this loading. The fire endurance of the first (fire-exposed) wall panel was noted, based on flame penetration through cracks and openings formed on the back face of the first wall. The overall fire resistance of the double wall assembly was also noted. (Modified author abstract)
