Abstract

Highlights: [•] Developed finite element models of load bearing LSF walls under standard fire. [•] Validated models using 11 LSF wall fire tests with various configurations. [•] Models included thermal bowing, local buckling and neutral axis shift of wall studs. [•] Provided useful load ratio versus time curves to predict fire rating of LSF walls. [•] Confirmed the superior fire performance of externally insulated wall panels. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
