Solutions for mid-rise wood construction: apartment fire test with encapsulated cross laminated timber construction: Test APT-CLT: report to Research Consortium for Wood and Wood-Hybrid Mid-Rise Buildings

Taber, B.C. / Lougheed, G.D. / Su, J.Z. / Bénichou, N.

A research project, Wood and Wood-Hybrid Midrise Buildings, was undertaken to develop information to be used as the basis for alternative/acceptable solutions for mid-rise construction using wood structural elements. As part of this project, four large-scale fire experiments were conducted to evaluate the fire performance of two forms of encapsulated combustible structural wood systems, a lightweight wood-frame (LWF) system (2 experiments [3, 4]) and a cross-laminated timber (CLT) system (1 experiment). The fourth experiment [5] involved a test structure constructed using a steel frame system described below. Each experiment involved construction of a test set-up of an unsprinklered full-size apartment unit, intended to represent a portion of a mid-rise (e.g. six-storey) building. ; Peer reviewed: No ; NRC publication: Yes
