- Abstract
- The purpose of this work is to develop a method for simulating the thermal response of fire-environment-exposured wall systems constructed of gypsum panels mounted on steel studs. The objective is an experimentally-validated, modular, thermal-wall-model algorithm that can be easily integrated into zone-type compartment fire models or used for "stand-alone" analyses.
