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.

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.

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.

(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.
