The present application is directed toward fire-rated wall construction components and wall systems for use in building construction. Embodiments can include tracks for holding studs which incorporate various geometries capable of receiving fire-retardant material, flat straps for use between tracks and fluted wall components, fire sponges for use in fluted wall components, and tracks with protruding grooves or other structures which prevent unwanted air movement between a wallboard component and the track.

A composite stud wall panel assembly, which can be used alone as a blast panel or as a module for wall or roof structures, comprises a frame including a plurality of spaced apart metal studs and metal crossbars interconnecting the studs; and a cementitious aggregate panel, one side of the metal studs being embedded in and permanently connected to the panel along the length of the studs.

An elongate profile (1) having a first portion (2) and a second portion (3), the first and second portions (2, 3) being joined together at a first joining portion (JP1), the first and second portions (2, 3) being non collinear, the joining portion (JP1) comprising an array of raised or rebated formations (10a), each formation extending across the joining portion (JP1) in a direction which is non-parallel to the principal axis of the profile and flat lands being provided between successive formations in an array (10A) and the pitch (P) between successive formations in an array being from 2 to 20 times, for example from 5 to 15 times, the thickness (G) of the flatlands.

Embodiments are directed to a hinged perimeter barrier or wall for an industrial worksite. The perimeter barrier may be formed from a series of wall sections that include hinged panels. The wall sections may be delivered to the worksite in an unextended configuration and then hoisted (by crane) into an extended configuration. A top panel may include a set of lifting features that may be engaged to raise (unfold) the panels and form the wall section. The wall section may be secured to a structural support using a support attachment assembly. The perimeter barrier may be used to mitigate various byproducts of an industrial worksite, including noise, dust, odor, light, and so on. The panels may be formed from an acoustic dampening material, visual mitigation material, and/or various other materials as may be appropriate for a given worksite.
