Why is the composite action of a cold-formed steel (CFS) backed interior gypsum board partition wall generally not achievable?
What will be an ideal response?
Composite action requires that the gypsum board extend the entire height of the studs on both sides. This is generally not possible because gypsum board generally extends up to the ceiling, leaving the studs above the ceiling without gypsum board covering to allow the utility pipes and HVAC ducts to pass through unrestricted.
