Greg, It depends on the type of wall.
For dry wall construction such as gypsum board normally the wall lining manufacturer will have had wall assemblies tested to ASTM E119 and publish the results in their literature. Concrete walls - For straight heat transfer SFPE Handbook of Fire Protection Engineering 3rd edition Fig 4-10.6 gives the fire endurance for various slab thicknesses and concrete types to meet ASTM E119 (There are probably other sources on the internet that would aslo provide this same data). To consider stability both during and after a fire requires a structural engineer to carry out some calculations.
