Influence of cavity insulation on the fire resistance of light gauge steel framed walls

•Investigated the effect of cavity insulation on the fire resistance of LSF walls.•Results from full scale fire tests and finite element analyses of LSF walls are presented.•Cavity insulation significantly reduced the fire resistance of load bearing LSF walls.•Cavity insulation increased the fire re...
