Book Synopsis Guidelines for the Construction of Fire-resisting Structural Elements by : W. A. Morris
Download or read book Guidelines for the Construction of Fire-resisting Structural Elements written by W. A. Morris and published by Bre Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results of fire resistance tests carried out on many different types of constructions Have been published by the Fire Research Station, the Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA) and by the Fire Protection Association (FPA). Much information is also readily available from manufacturers, trade organisations and specialist contractors in the fire field. Nevertheless, a need remains for simple generic descriptions of fire-resisting elements. This report sets down guidelines for the fire resistance of elements of structure and includes tables of notional periods of fire resistance based on a consideration of current test data and information. Recent changes made in the formulation of premixed lightweight plasters and work completed on the revisions to BS 476: Part 8 and the British Standard Codes of practice concerning concrete, masonry and timber constructions has necessitated revising both the text and tables of the 1982 edition which is now withdrawn. It is intended to revise the tables as new information becomes available.

Book Synopsis White Paper on Fire Resistance of Timber Structures by : Andrew Buchanan
Download or read book White Paper on Fire Resistance of Timber Structures written by Andrew Buchanan and published by . This book was released on with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fire resistance of timber structures is a very large field. In order to keep this document relatively small, the scope of is limited as follows: This report attempts to define a Performance-Based framework for the fire safety design of multi-story timber buildings. The report concentrates on medium-rise multi-story timber buildings from 3 stories to 10 stories tall, which are likely to be most popular and technical feasible. Taller buildings are discussed briefly. The report concentrates on mass timber buildings, constructed from large timber posts and beams (from LVL or glulam) and large wood panel construction using cross-laminated timber (CLT) or other heavy timber panels. Light wood frame buildings protected with gypsum plasterboard (2 by 4 construction) have been covered elsewhere and are not considered to be feasible for building above about 6 stories. The report concentrates on the fire resistance of structural elements and assemblies, and does not include early fire safety issues such as ignition and flame-spread on wood surfaces. It does not address broader fire safety issues such as fire safety systems, fire fighting, or evacuation. External fire spread via building facades and windows is partly included, since wooden fa ade claddings are considered by many architects to be an essential feature of timber buildings, at least up to 8-10 stories. Automatic fire sprinkler systems are discussed briefly, since the combination of active and passive fire protection is considered to be an important way to provide fire safety for tall timber buildings. Fire resistance of timber connections is included briefly, including both mechanical fasteners and glued connections. The influence of adhesives on the fire behaviour of bonded structural timber elements is discussed briefly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a history of heavy timber construction (HTC) in the United States, chronicling nearly two centuries of building history, from inception to a detailed evaluation of one of the best surviving examples of the type, with an emphasis on fire resistance. The book does not limit itself in scope to serving only as a common history. Rather, it provides critical analysis of HTC in terms of construction methods, design, technical specifications, and historical performance under fire conditions. As such, this book provides readers with a truly comprehensive understanding and exploration of heavy timber construction in the United States and its performance under fire conditions.

Book Synopsis Principles of Element Design by : Peter Rich
Download or read book Principles of Element Design written by Peter Rich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of buildings is learnt through experience and the inheritance of a tradition in forming buildings over several thousand years. Successful construction learns from this experience which becomes embodied in principles of application. Though materials and techniques change, various elements have to perform the same function. 'Principles of Element Design' identifies all the relevant elements and then breaks these elements down into all their basic constituents, making it possible for students to fully understand the given theory and principles behind each part. As all building projects are subject to guidance through the Building Regulations and British Standards, this book gives an immediate reference back to relevant information to help practitioners and contractors identify key documents needed.

Book Synopsis Fire Hazard and Fire Resistance of Wooden Structures by : Sivenkov Andrey Borisovich
Download or read book Fire Hazard and Fire Resistance of Wooden Structures written by Sivenkov Andrey Borisovich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph discusses fire hazard and fire resistance in wooden structures with a long duration of operation. Aside from its increasing importance for modern architecture, wood has been the most important building material in the past. It has a distinct aesthetic, high mechanical strength, and resistance against many environmental changes. These properties are evident in structures like the still standing Grinstead Chuch, which has been built in 1045. Readers will however learn about the decreasing fire resistance in wooden buildings with a long service live. Considering the cultural value of medieval wood buildings, this topic becomes increasingly relevant. The chapters discuss the mechanical, physico-chemical and thermophysical properties of wooden structures over different lifespans. Many factors contributing to the changing fire resistance in the ageing process of wooden structures, are explained. This book is a valuable resource for students, teachers and scientists in the areas of wood science, fire research and forestry.
