Abstract(s)

A set of full scale fire resistance tests of non-loadbearing walls is presented to evaluate the effect of the steel frame (number and position of studs and tracks) and different protection materials. The experimental tests are developed in accordance to the international standards EN1364-1 for the sample preparation and conditions for testing and in accordance with the generic standard fire test EN1363-1, used for the criterion to rate this type of building construction element under fire. Numerical models are also used to compare the results of the tests. The numerical model is validated, using the boundary conditions defined in Eurocode EN1991-1-2 and specific boundary conditions in the cavity of the wall. These specific boundary conditions are essential when assuming that the heat transfer flows by convection and radiation, from the exposed side to the unexposed side of the wall. The results allow to conclude on the behaviour of different systems of protection used for the cold formed steel structure, on the effect of the structure and to present the hybrid model to validate the numerical results.
