With the resumption of the Dividing Wall Studies most of this quarter was devoted to preliminary preparations for the proposed series of tests. Two shots involving one-fourth scale untreated walls were fired and analyzed. Four batches of foamed concrete were made and poured into one and one-half inch thick test slabs for future test fires. Seven day and twenty-eight day compression tests were completed on each of the batches. The purpose of this project is to finalize the studies of foamed concrete wall treatment with respect to its effectiveness in reducing wall missile velocities resulting from blast loading conditions
