Fire and Acoustic Rated Wall Systems

Fire Rated Stud Walls

Assessment criteria are represented by three performance measurements known as

“Fire Resistance Levels (FRL)”

• Structural Adequacy

• Integrity

• Insulation

This indicates the number of minutes that the specimen fulfils the requirements of the three

fire test criteria e.g. -/60/60, 60/60/60 etc.

Peer Industries Pty Ltd steel studs are tested for FRL in conjunction with plasterboard

complying with AS2588.and 1530.4 as well as the BCA

Any plasterboard can be used with Peer steel studs provided those plasterboards are

manufactured to AS2588 and are tested for required FRL.

Refer to plasterboard manufacturer’s specification for required FRL.

Sound Transmission Class – STC

Peer Industries steel stud wall with plasterboard complying with AS2588 and the BCA

underwent laboratory tests to establish their sound insulation characteristics.

The sound transmission loss through the stud wall was calculated for each specified frequency.

Measurements are made in one-third octave bands from 125 to 4000 Hz.

The STC rating is determined by comparing the measured sound transmission loss curve of an

assembly in reference to STC contours.

Each such assembly is conveniently expressed as a single number known as STC of that

assembly.

A higher STC value indicates a better acoustic performance.

Refer to the plasterboard manufacturers specifications for required STC.

Any plasterboard can be used with Peer steel studs provided these plasterboards are

manufactured to AS2588 and are tested for required STC performance.

Peer Industries Wall Products - Installation cont’d

Fig 38 - example of friction fit - detail

For non-load bearing partitions it is possible to install studs using the friction method to hold the

studs in place in the track.

This simplifies the installation and reduces the time required.

Friction fitting keeps the studs in position until plasterboard is fastened to the studs.

Fix plasterboard to studs with plasterboard screws with screws being no more than 100 mm

from tracks.

Fixing details

Friction fit

1) Fix top and bottom tracks of partition into position.

2) Fix first and last studs to both top and bottom tracks with screws.

3) Insert the intermediate studs into tracks at required centres and rotate steel section into

position.

4) Check the studs are set in position and are plumb and square.

Screw Connection

An alternative to using friction fit is to use mechanical fixing methods. Studs are held in place

using friction fit until fasteners can be used.

1) Fix the top and bottom tracks into the correct position.

2) Insert the studs into the tracks at the required centres and rotate the stud into position.

3) Check that the studs are set plumb and square when in position.

4) Fix all studs to both the top and bottom tracks with screws.

5) The strength of these connections is based on pull out capacity of screws.

6) Refer to the screw manufacturer’s recommendations for pull out capacity of screws.

Peer Industries Wall Products – Installation cont’d Nogging Tracks-cont’d

Nogging track is used to provide extra support to the stud wall.

This prevents the steel section from twisting when under load condition.

Nogging track should be fastened either with screws, rivets or welding etc to ensure firm

bracing is achieved.

Refer to the maximum wall height tables SWS01 and SWS02 for the number of rows of

noggings required for a particular wall height.

Nogging tracks are available in 450mm and 600mm spacing’s which can be used as a guide to

ensure stud spacing’s are uniform and correct.

Other spacing’s are available on request.

Peer Industries Wall Products - Installation cont’d Plasterboard Installation – General instruction for fixing lining to stud frame

(Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions)

1) Cut the sheets to size and then fix the sheets either vertically or horizontally.

2) Fasten the plasterboard to each stud as shown in the figure 44 or 45.

3) Use full sheets above and below all openings.

4) Saw cut sheets around any openings

5) Stagger the butt joints ensuring they do not occur on or between the same studs on

opposite sides of the wall (This improves structural stability and the appearance of the

decorated wall).

Peer Design Notes

General All tables are prepared for the use of Lipped Wall Stud as manufactured by Peer

Industries Pty Ltd.

Tables are based on permissible stress method as per AS1538 - 1988 Cold Formed Steel

Structures Code

Design is based on:

Deflection = H/240.

Yield stress = 300 Mpa.

Lateral Loading = as specified.

Slenderness = as per AS 1538 -1988.

About Section Properties Section properties are based on the full section, using the nominal section dimensions

notations which are in accordance with AS 1538 and AS4600

Section properties have been presented in tables with appropriate text for ease of use.

The value of shear centres is calculated using the formula:

Xo = Xs + Xc and Yo = Ys + Yc.

The form factor Q has been calculated based on a maximum allowable stress of 0.6Fy in

accordance with AS 1538 clause 3.6.3.

All details and information contained in this manual are intended as a general guide for use in

internal partition construction.

For use in any external wall design and construction or for any special structure, please

contact

Peer Design on 1300 725 675. Almost all structures will deflect during service.

Partition designers should be aware of the expected deflections of the building structure as

they affect partitions.

These deflections may be due to both dead and live loadings.

Non-load bearing partitions are not designed to take any axial loading due to building

deflection.

In fire rated steel stud walls, thermal expansion of studs should be expected during fire

service. Designers should make due allowances for these effect.

The partition designer should properly consider framing design and layout around openings in

partition systems.

Peer Design Notes

About Height and Span Tables

Peer steel products performance characteristics for studs, tracks, deflection head tracks, and

top hats have been presented in a format that allows selection of product sizes and gauges by

reference to appropriate Maximum Height Tables or Maximum Span Tables.

Peer cold-formed steel sections are suitable for a wide variety of uses including wall, roof,

floor and, ceiling framing, external facade and soffits, beams and lintels.

Peer steel products are ideally suited for use in the areas of commercial and industrial

construction, general fabrication or for residential /domestic projects.

Partition heights are determined by various design criteria including wind loading, deflection

limits, stud size, stud spacing, track size etc. For height information to satisfy specific design

criteria, contact

Peer Design on 1300 725 675.

To assist you with your project Peer design has compiled 8 examples of various configurations

ranging from Steel wall stud and top hat to wall framing systems.

The options detail spans and noggin track requirements.

The span tables detail maximum spans achievable with various products.

The section properties tables detail the physical characteristics of various products.
