Small-scale tests with adhesive bonds with CLT, GLTand finger joints
Wood construction is growing rapidly and provides a substantial contribution to the development of a more sustainable construction sector. Several modern wood-based building systems are developed with a focus on tall wooden houses and industrial production, where glued products are an important part. Fire safety is important, but the adhesive properties in fire conditions are not fully understood. This applies in particular to new adhesive systems but also to existing ones that exhibit poor load carrying capacity in a fire. The problem has been noted by the FSUW (Fire Safe Use of Wood) global network, which formed a sub-group of “Glue-line failure of engineered wood products” with representatives from Australia, NZ, Canada, USA, France, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, and Germany. The global network has gathered knowledge and experience from known cases of fire testing of glued wood components (especially glulam, finger joints, and CLT) and has defined research needs. The results highlighted by this group relate to the delamination of glued bonds in a fire which can cause increased charring of glued wood products, especially for CLT. The results show that the temperature during standard fire testing increases continuously without cooling phase and with delamination of CLT until a collapse of the structure occurs. Thicker CLT may be required to reduce delamination risks or to protect the wood material. This can lead to increased costs and greater weight of the construction as well as reduced possibility of using visible wood. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to find methods for evaluating the adhesive bond properties in a fire. The hypothesis is that different adhesive systems have different behaviour in fire, and especially that delamination behaviour can be avoided by choosing a suitable adhesive system. The best method for the evaluation of fire delamination is a full-scale test, but considering the high costs of such full-scale tests, a smaller-scale test needs to be developed.
