Resumo(s)
This study presents the development and validation of advanced 3D numerical models to analyse the fire performance of non-load-bearing Light Steel Frame (LSF) partition walls under different fire scenarios, specifically the standard ISO 834 and HYDROCARBON fire. Medium-scale experimental fire resistance tests from prior research were used for validation, focusing on LSF walls with and without cavity insulation (external composite insulation). Three computational solution methods were compared and used to predict the fire behaviour of LSF walls with a void cavity. The finite element method was employed for transient thermal analysis with temperature-dependent material properties, including adaptations to simulate material degradation such as gypsum board cracking and rock wool melting under HYDROCARBON fire conditions. Hydrocarbon fires reduced fire resistance by an average of 57% compared to ISO 834 fires for cavity-insulated walls, whereas external insulation configurations showed less reduction.
