Wood Construction Behaviour in Natural/Parametric Fires: Paper Presented at the International Fire and Materials Conference (4th). Held in Washington DC., in November 1995
The move to performance-based regulations makes it possible to give up the extremely restrictive view on timber which still exists in many countries. The introduction of natural/parametric fire scenarios in the design will give better tools for verification of the loading-bearing and separating function of structures in the case of fire. This paper presents the regulators' view regarding the structures is studied against this background, both by using the design formulae of Eurocode 5, Part 1-2 for glued laminated beams, and by performing small-scale fire tests of lightweight specimens made of wood-based I-beams, mineral fibre wool and gypsum plasterboard protection. It is shown that timber structures are able to survive a complete burn-out under certain condition, and discussed how results from parametric fire exposure could be used to set levels of requirements in terms of fire resistance for standard fire exposure.
