This research was conducted to advance the knowledge and understanding of the fire performance of light gauge steel frame wall systems through thermal property tests, full-scale fire tests of magnesium oxide board lined walls, 3-D uncoupled and coupled thermal-structural finite element analyses and design of walls with both unstiffened and web-stiffened channel stud sections. It has provided experimental and numerical data and improved finite element strategies and design methods to undertake structural fire design of light gauge steel frame wall systems
