Fire Design Model for Timber Frame Assemblies with Rectangular and I-Shaped Members
Timber frame assemblies (TFA) are load-bearing or separating constructions consisting of timber members, (protective) panelling and void or insulated cavities. The primary protection for a timber member is given by the cladding on the exposed side. After the fall-off of the cladding, insulation materials protecting the sides of timber member might provide the secondary protection. This paper aims to provide an overview of the development of the charring model based on the Effective Cross-Section Method for timber frame assemblies exposed to fire depending on the type of the cavity insulation. The charring model for rectangular and I-shaped timber members is described. The model is based on an extensive fire testing program complemented by thermal simulations. The design model is aimed for the improvement of the revised Eurocode 5 part 1-2 to offer further possibilities for calculations of fire resistance.
