- Abstract
- A fire endurance test was carried out on a roof deck whose primary components were cement bonded shredded wood fiber planks on open-web steel joists. The deck was tested under a total load somewhat less than the design load. The results indicated a fire endurance of 2 hr 22 min for the test specimen.
