Fire Design of Timber Members

30th June 2020 - 13:00-15:00 BST

Agenda​

​

The fire design of timber members consists of  the determination of char layer and taking the effect of strength loss in the heated zone into account. This webinar will describe the general procedure for fire design of timber members, and more specifically the design of glulam beams and columns in standard fire according to EN 1995-1-2. A design example will be given.
