Could any one assist me by advising of a good engineering textbook that I can use for design of an elevator shaft wall composed of cold formed steel studs with fire rated gypsum?

I am using the SSMA catalog which is based on IBC 2009. Section 2210 which is Cold formed steel light frame construction of IBC 2009 references AISI S200, AISI S211 and AISI S100.

I was wondering what design codes and specifications I have to purchase other than the above mentioned.
What about D100-09 Cold formed steel design manual 2008 Edition?

Any help and advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

The references you have listed above may be adequate for design of structural elements using cold formed steel sections. However, you would still need UL Fire Resistance Directory to select suitable UL Design No and the the associated fire rating requirements.
