This practice is intended to be limited to theevaluation of end-jointed lumber studs with a specific jointconfiguration, adhesive, and limited design properties. Theresults are only applicable to end-jointed lumber studs using ajoint configuration with the same

Light-weight wood assem-blies
16、utilize gypsum wallboard or other types of membraneprotection to accomplish a requisite fire resistance rating forthe assembly. However, wood studs and the end-joints in thestuds shall resist the developed elevated temperature environ-ment for the duration of the rating. This practice provides ameth
17、od for evaluating the elevated temperature performance ofan assembly constructed with end-jointed studs having fireperformance comparable to an assembly constructed withsolid-sawn studs.6. Wall Assembly6.1 A load-bearing wall meeting the following assemblydescription shall be used:6.1.1 Framing Elem
18、ents:6.1.1.1 StudsNine pieces of 2 by 4 (nominal) end-jointedlumber shall be used for wall studs. Each piece of end-jointedlumber shall be 115.5 in. (2934 mm) long and have at least oneend-joint within the middle third of the length. Studs shall besymmetrically placed within the 10-ft (3 m) long by
19、10-ft (3 m)high wall assembly with interior studs spaced 16 in. (406 mm)on center as shown in Fig. 1. The moisture content of theend-jointed lumber shall be no greater than 15 % at the time ofthe fire test.NOTE 1When producing end-jointed lumber for use in this standardpractice, consideration should
20、 be given to the unique production condi-tions, such as wood moisture content, applied spread rate, pressure, andcuring temperature of the adhesive in accordance with the adhesivemanufacturers recommendations.6.1.1.2 PlatesStuds shall be attached to a double top plateand a single bottom plate as sho
21、wn in Fig. 1. Plates shall be thesame species as the stud material. The first top plate and thebottom plate shall be attached to the studs using 2-16d commonnails or 3-16d box nails. The second top plate is attached to thefirst top plate using a single row of 16d common nail at 16 in.(406 mm) on cen
22、ter or 1-16d box nails at 12 in. (305 mm) oncenter. Nails shall be in accordance with Specification F 1667.NOTE 2In Fig. 1, double top plates are located at the bottom of testwall to be adjacent to the movable load beam. Double top plates arelocated at the top of the test wall when the load beam is
23、along the top.6.1.1.3 BlockingBlocking between studs shall not bepermitted.6.1.2 InsulationThe cavity between studs shall be filledwith 3-in. (89-mm) thick mineral wool insulation having anominal density of 2.5 pcf (40 kg/m3).6.1.3 SheathingA single layer of #-in. (16-mm) Type Xgypsum wallboard (in
24、accordance with Specification C 1396/C 1396M), 4 ft (1.22 m) wide, shall be applied to each side ofthe assembly with the long axis perpendicular to the studs asshown in Fig. 1. Horizontal joints shall be unblocked. Novertical joints are required.6.1.4 FastenersGypsum wallboard shall be attached to a

Loading7.1 The superimposed load on the wall assembly throughoutthe fire resistance test shall be nine times
27、 the load per studcalculated in 7.1.2.7.1.1 Joint Strength QualificationAn agency shall qualifythe sample of end-jointed lumber for the highest grade for thespecies being tested. The lumber used for the vertical framingin the fire test wall assembly shall be selected from the lot usedto qualify the
28、joint strength.NOTE 4In the United States and Canada, criteria for agency accredi-tation are contained in PS-20, and CSA O141, respectively.NOTE 5In the United States, the minimum strength qualificationrequirements for end-jointed lumber are given in theALSC Glued LumberPolicy.7.1.2 Load Calculation
29、The load per stud shall be calcu-lated using 100 % of the adjusted compression design valueparallel to grain (Fc8) calculated in accordance with theprocedures of Practice D 6513 for the highest grade qualified in7.1.1. The load per stud shall be calculated using minimumdressed size dimensions 1.5 in
30、. (38 mm) by 3.5 in. (89 mm).NOTE 6The design values parallel-to-grain (Fc8) in Appendix A ofPractice D 6513 are calculated using ANSI/AF end-joint; end-jointed lumber; qualificationASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item
