Abstract
This chapter presents the authors’ original data on the effect of duration of natural (up to 700 years) aging of solid timber of different deciduous and coniferous species on fire safety characteristics and describes transformations in physical structure, chemical composition, and properties of timber species during natural aging of timber buildings and structures. It also presents experimental results of charring parameters and the properties of superficial char layers formed at fire action.
The chapter describes the process of biodegradation of timber species by timber-destroying fungi and the efficiency of complex bio-, moisture, and fire protection of constructional timber materials.
