General
All tables are prepared for the use of Lipped Wall Stud as manufactured by Peer
Industries Pty Ltd.
Tables are based on permissible stress method as per AS1538 - 1988 Cold Formed Steel Structures Code
Design is based on:
Deflection = H/240.
Yield stress = 300 Mpa.
Lateral Loading = as specified.
Slenderness = as per AS 1538 -1988.
About Section Properties
Section properties are based on the full section, using the nominal section dimensions notations which are in accordance with AS 1538 and AS4600
Section properties have been presented in tables with appropriate text for ease of use.
The value of shear centres is calculated using the formula:
Xo = Xs + Xc and Yo = Ys + Yc.
The form factor Q has been calculated based on a maximum allowable stress of 0.6Fy in accordance with AS 1538 clause 3.6.3.
All details and information contained in this manual are intended as a general guide for use in internal partition construction.
For use in any external wall design and construction or for any special structure, please contact

Almost all structures will deflect during service.
Partition designers should be aware of the expected deflections of the building structure as they affect partitions.
These deflections may be due to both dead and live loadings.
Non-load bearing partitions are not designed to take any axial loading due to building deflection.
In fire rated steel studs walls, thermal expansion of studs should be expected during fire service. Designers should make due allowances for these effect.
The partition designer should properly consider framing design and layout around openings in partition systems.
About Height and Span Tables
Peer steel products performance characteristics for studs, tracks, deflection heads tracks, and top hats have been presented in a format that allows selection of product sizes and gauges by reference to appropriate Maximum Height Tables or Maximum Span Tables.
Peer cold-formed steel sections are suitable for a wide variety of uses including wall, roof, floor and, ceiling framing, external facade and soffits, beams and lintels.
Peer steel products are ideally suited for use in the areas of commercial and industrial construction, general fabrication or for residential /domestic projects.
Partition heights are determined by various design criteria including wind loading, deflection limits, stud size, stud spacing, track size etc. For height information to satisfy specific design criteria, contact
Peer Design on 1300 725 675.
To assist you with your project Peer design has compiled 8 examples of various configurations ranging from Steel wall stud and top hat to wall framing systems.
The options detail spans and noggin track requirements.
The span tables detail maximum spans achievable with various products.
The section properties tables detail the physical characteristics of various products.
