The fire-resistance rating of concrete masonry units composed of a combination of aggregate types shall be based on equivalent thickness values determined as follows:
Tr = T1 x V1 + T2 x V2. = Tn x Vn
where:
Tr - The minimum required equivalent thickness corresponding to the desired fire-resistance rating for the C.M.U. manufactured with a particular combination of aggregate types.
T1, T2,..Tn - The equivalent thickness for each aggregate Type 1,2,...n, respectively, used for the desired fire-resistance rating.
V1, V2 ..Vn - The percentage by volume of each aggregate Type 1, 2,.n, respectively, which is used in the manufacture of the C.M.U.
