According to the engineered wood association a one hour rating indicates that a wall constructed in a manner similar to the one tested will contain flames and high temperatures and support its full load for at least one hour after the fire begins.
Assemblies rated from both sides.
Fire resistance ratings are expressed in the number of minutes or hours a structure can withstand a fire simulation test.
Sheathing on both sides.
Elements of buildings the fire resistance rating classifies the ability of an assembly to confine and isolate fire within a zone comprised of fire resistance rated walls ceiling and floor assemblies.
A one hour rating would mean the structural elements have not yet reached their yield point when exposed to a under deck heat load defined in astm e119 for steel structural members as reaching 1 070 degrees f.
