Experimental Fire Resistance Test of Timber Structure
Žajdlík, Tomáš ; Šuhajda, Karel
Wooden materials have many advantages for their use in buildings. There are many limitations for their use as with other materials. It's because of the mechanical-physical properties of natural wood. With the use of the wooden structure of the building, the fire load is increased and the requirements for the fire safety solution are stricter. The combustible load-bearing structure influences the design of the building in terms of its function, layout solution, structural materials, and fire safety equipment. The data of the behaviour of wooden materials in the event of fire are necessary for the correct design a timber structure with the required fire resistance. This paper is focused on experimental testing of timber structures exposed to extreme situations such as the effects of fire.
