Abstract
An innovative load-bearing cold-formed steel (CFS) wall lined with gypsum composite panels was developed with the goal of improving the construction efficiency and fire performance of these walls for applications in mid/high-rise buildings. The gypsum composite panel was formed by sandwiching insulation and plasterboard strips between two layers of gypsum plasterboards. Subsequently, the predicted fire resistance of these CFS walls was predicted based on our previously developed and experimentally validated modeling method. The degenerated material properties of the cold-formed steel and thermal physical property of the gypsum plasterboard and aluminum silicate wool were obtained from our pervious experimental investigations and used as the basic input parameters in the present fire resistance modeling. The results showed that the fire performance of the CFS walls lined with gypsum composite panels improved greatly. The configuration details and corresponding design load levels were also determined for the CFS walls with a fire resistant rating of 120 and 150 min.
