Modelling The Fire Performance of Structural Timber-Concrete Composite Floors
This paper describes numerical modelling to predict the fire resistance of engineered timber-concrete composite floor systems. The paper describes 3D numerical modelling of the floor systems using finite element software, carried out as a sequential thermo-mechanical analysis. Experimental testing of these floor assemblies has also been undertaken to validate the models, with multiple full scale tests conducted to determine the failure mechanisms and assess fire damage to the system components. The final outcome of this research is the development of simplified design methods for calculating the fire resistance of a wide range of engineered timber floor systems, as part of a larger research project on multi-storey timber buildings.
