Fire Safety and Fire Resistance of Building Structures and Timber Constructions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fire Behavior and Fire Protection in Timber Buildings

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Wood Science ((SSWOO))

Abstract

This chapter presents general approaches to the system of fire safety in buildings and thermal fire regime’s assessment. Dynamics of change of fire hazard factors during fire growth is considered. Charring rate of timber species and glued laminated timber at nominal fire exposure is discussed. Fire resistance of timber building members and charring depth are presented.
