How to work out what the kg/m2 of a stud wall is?

[vcps2021]

Hello,

 

I'd be very grateful if someone can help with this.....

 

I will have a piece of stud wall that forms a shower cubicle and separates the shower from a cupboard. How do I find out what the kg/m2 of that piece of stud wall will be? It will be:

 

- 2360mm tall, 700mm wide and about 82.5mm deep

- the depth includes 12.5mm plasterboard on the two sides (moisture board on one and regular on the other)

- it will probably have some plasterboard on the 82.5mm side too

- I saw the mass (stated kg/m2) for the moisture board was 9 

- it may be ceramic tiled (8mm thickness) on the shower interior and the 82.5mm width too

 

I'd be very grateful if someone could help explain how this can be worked out...

 

Thanks!

Work out your stud spacings, length, section size etc and convert to m3. Multiply by 350-500 (kg/m3). I bet similar figs are around for tiles, pl'bd etc. Try 'engineering toolbox'.

I would usually allow for 1kN/m linear load.
