- Abstract
- Two brick wall-columns were subjected to fire tests, under applied loads, in cooperation with the Structural Clay Products Research Associateship. The two specimens were nominally identical, except as to age. The first was tested to failure under load, which occurred at 2 hours 54 minutes. The fire exposure in the second test was stopped after 2 hours but the load maintained. The intention was to load the specimen to failure after cooling. However, it collapsed about 1 3/4 hours after the fires were shut off.
