    Abstract

    The thermal performance of cold-formed thin-walled steel panel systems in fire was discussed. The performance of the steel sections was influenced by the presence of protective layers made from gypsum boards. They quickly dissipated heat to the surroundings and led to rapid temperature increase. The temperature of the steel section of a steel stud panel system was found to depend on insulation panels on the fire exposed side.
