  • Gypsum board commonly known as drywall, is the technical product name used by manufacturers for a specific board with a gypsum core and a paper facing. Gypsum board is the building material typically used for wall, ceiling, and partition systems in residential, institutional, and commercial structures and is designed to provide a monolithic surface when joints and fastener heads are covered with a joint treatment system.

  • a method for constructing a fire- resistant wall assembly includes attaching sheets of fire-rated gypsum board to a framework having metal studs using fasteners, each of the sheets of gypsum board being fastened to two of the studs with at least one intermediate stud therebetween. The method further includes applying heat-resistant double-sided tape to seams between adjacent ones of the sheets of gypsum board.
  • the method further includes attaching with fasteners sheets of cement fiberboard, each of the sheets of cement fiberboard being fastened to two of the studs with at least one intermediate stud therebetween so that seams between adjacent ones of the sheets of cement fiberboard are horizontally displaced with respect to the seams between adjacent ones of the sheets of gypsum board.
  • the cement fiberboard fasteners are at least about 10% smaller than a predrilled hole into which the cement fiberboard fasteners are inserted.
  • the cement fiberboard fasteners are tightened to a torque which is at least about 10% less than a maximum torque of the cement fiberboard fasteners.

  • the cement fiberboard fasteners may be between about 10% and about 35% smaller than a predrilled hole into which the cement fiberboard fasteners are inserted.
  • a width of the gypsum board sheets may be about 4 feet and a width of the cement fiberboard sheets may be about 4 feet.

  • An original size of the pre-drilled holes in the cement fiberboard may be about 3/16 inch (5.0 mm), and these holes may be drilled through to increase their diameter to about 1 ⁇ 4 inch (6.0 mm), in which case a fastener having a diameter of .189 inch (4.8 mm) may be used and all of the aforementioned dimensions may vary +/- 10%, or in particular embodiments by +/- 25%, depending upon the particular materials used.
  • the disclosed embodiments provide a fire-resistant wall assembly and a method of constructing same formed of sheets of fire-rated gypsum wallboard and sheets of cement fiberboard on an outer surface thereof.
  • the cement fiberboard fasteners are placed in a particular configuration to improve fire resistance.
  • the fasteners have a diameter which is less than a diameter of the predrilled holes in the cement fiberboard into which they are inserted.
  • the fasteners are not fully tightened. This configuration helps prevent damage to the cement fiberboard as the heat from a fire causes the fasteners to expand. This, in turn, improves the fire resistance of the wall assembly.
  • double-sided fire-resistant tape on the seams between the gypsum board sheets improves the fire resistance provided by the gypsum board, as it helps prevent the spread of fire through the seams.
  • double-sided tape also obviates the need for fasteners in the central portion of the cement fiberboard, as it prevents undesirable movement and/or vibration of the cement fiberboard when the wall assembly is installed in a structure, such as, for example the interior walls of a building.
