| Abstract | This report presents the results of 2 full-scale fire resistance tests conducted on load-bearing gypsum board protected, wood stud shear wall assemblies. The wall assembly had an asymmetrical installation (1x2) with a layer of gypsum board on both exposed and unexposed sides and a shear membrane as a base layer on theunexposed side of the wood stud frame. The gypsum board used was 12.7 mm thick Type X and the shear membranes used were of 12.7 mm and 8.5 mm thick plywood. The insulation used were of cellulose and glass fibre type. These two tests were conducted to determine the effect of insulation and of shear membrane thickness on the fire resistance of gypsum board protected, wood stud shear wall assemblies. A discussion of these results in relation to other similar tests that were conducted previously, are presented in the paper. |
