13. One-Hour Fire-Resistive Construction: Based on the
performance of the test assembly, Polydeck 355 Walking
Deck System installed on b" thick C-D plywood as a
substitute for the double wood floor described in
Construction No. 13, Item 13-1.1, Table No. 7-C of the
1994 U.B.C. Standard No. 7-1. The assembly was tested
with 2 X 10 floor joists spaced at 16 inches on center.
The average room temperature rise on the unexposed face
was 260°F and the maximum single thermometer reading
was 310°F after 65 minutes. The acceptance limit is 250°F
average temperature rise with no single reading over 350°F
above ambient after 60 minutes. The area under the test
time vs. temperature curve equals the standard time-
temperature E-119 curve at 60.56 minutes.
