Fire Resistance of Timber Frame Assemblies
20th July 2021 - 13:00-16:00 BST
Light weight timber frame assemblies are more sensitive to fire compared to large glulam members. Floor or wall assemblies can be built with or without cavity insulation. The fire side shall be covered by protection, f.e. gypsum boards.
This lecture will explain fire design models in the existing Eurocode 5 as well as coming changes in the next generation of Eurocode 5. The load-bearing and separating functions are covered as well as introducing important aspects to consider in fire testing.
