Non autoclaved lightweight aerated concrete.
Light steel frame infill walls.
In fact the thermal conductivity of insulation layers is about 0 04 w mk while for steel frames is about 1000 1500 times higher 50 w mk.

Infill walls are considered to be non load bearing but they resist wind loads applied to the façade and also support their own weight and that of the cladding.
The steel used in cold formed sections is relatively thin typically 0 9 to 3 2 mm and is galvanized for corrosion protection.
The benefits of light steel infill walls are.
Infill walls should accommodate anticipated deflection within the primary frame in accordance with the structural design.
Rapid installation allows other activities within the building to proceed much earlier than would be possible with block work infill walls.

Conductivities of materials in light steel frame walls are more heterogeneous than in a traditional wall made of blocks and mortars.
Actually metal studs are important thermal bridges.
Infill walling is the generic name given to a panel that is built in between the floors of the primary structural frame of a building and provides support for the cladding system.
The construction process is dry so that shrinkage and other drying out problems are eliminated.
Balconies can also be incorporated into light steel external wall systems.
Modular construction is a special case.
Light steel framing is generally based on the use of proprietary c or z shaped steel sections produced by cold rolling from strip steel.
Light steel walls using c sections are increasingly.
Cavity construction where insulation is installed both between the studs and on the cavity side of the steel frame.

Eos framing is a leading innovator in light gauge steel construction specialising in the design manufacture and supply.
In this chapter lsf refers to construction framing members made from coldformed profiles 0 7 4 0mm thick.
Figure 4 shows light steel balconies fixed back to the primary concrete frame and integrated with a panelised light steel wall system.
In all cases aqua board is used as an external sheathing board but may also be used internally in bathrooms and other wet areas etc.
