Charring Rate of Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam) Made from Selected Malaysian Tropical Timber
Besides strengths requirement for safety, fire resistance is also an important factor for safety of timber structure. During the exposure to fire, a charred layer forms on the external part of the timber element that protects the underlying layers against the action of fire. Charring rate value is required in the design of timber structures. Currently the charring rate for glued laminated timber (glulam) made from Malaysian tropical timber is not available. Malaysian standard, MS 544 Part 9 only provides the charring rate value for solid timbers. Therefore a series of glulam were made and have been exposed to fire in accordance with BS EN 1363-1:2012 in order to determine the charring rate values. The results indicate that the charring rate of glulam is smaller than the charring rate of solid timber.
