- Abstract
- There has recently been completed at the Bureau of Standards a series of fire tests of brick walls to determine the fire protection, strength and stability under fire conditions afforded by this construction. The present letter circular, which is confined to the results obtained with bricks made of clay or shale, is intended to supply information until the report can be published.
