may be good for some info on steel joists (as well as studs).
The drywall thickness will probably be dictated by fire protection requirements rather than structure. Check with the Gypsum Association http:/www.gypsum.org
Their "Fire Resistance Design Manual" contains some assemblies which use cold rolled steel members.

The joists are usually 33 kpsi, 2"x6" in none load bearing cases.
