Hi
I have just moved into a new house where all the internal walls consist of 1/2 in. plasterboard screwed to lightweight (about 1/2 mm) pressed steel studwork. I need to fit the office out with bookshelves and I have been trying to find some quantitative data on the load carrying capacity of such a construction with appropriate fixings. I can only find comments like 'lightweight'. The kitchen cabinets are fitted to these walls with the expanding metal plugs so they must have a reasonable capacity.
Can anyone help with some figures?
Regards, Russell.
