This paper presents the results from an experimental study on the behaviour of load-bearing gypsum board protected, wood-stud shear wall assemblies. The experimental studies consisted of fire resistance tests on 12 full-scale wall assemblies. The factors investigated included effects of placement of shear membrane, type of shear membrane, type of insulation, presence of resilient channels, load intensity and loading eccentricity on the fire resistance of such assemblies. Based on these studies, it is shown that the placement of shear membrane and insulation type, significantly influence the fire resistance of wood-stud shear wall assemblies. The results of this study were used to develop fire resistance models and a preliminaryverification ...
