Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightweight wood construction has become more and more popular in residential floor and roof design. It is desirable for its versatility, low cost, and ease of construction. This brings many concerns to the firefighting community. Lightweight construction does not have the fire resistance that typical solid joist and rafter construction offer. Many firefighters have been injured and others have lost their lives due to early undetectable collapse of these structures. Twelve tests were conducted to analyze the heat transfer of lightweight wood trusses connected with metal truss plates. Char depths and temperature readings are measured and evaluated. Manufacturing tolerances were also introduced to evaluate the charring effects. This paper also summarizes previous research on the structural performance of wood elements and assemblies when exposed to fire as well as methodologies and algorithms available to predict their behavior. Difficulties in researching wood are presented along with variations in the charring rate of wood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Lightweight wood construction is one of the most common forms of residential construction in the United States. Unprotected lightweight wood structural members are extremely sensitive to elevated temperatures often experienced in fire conditions. Residential fires are a commonly occurring incident across the globe and consequently make up a large percentage of residential property loss and damage. In the United States, building code provisions limit lightweight construction to particular building types. These building codes prescribe protected lightweight wood assemblies in building types for which they are allowed. Although many components of lightweight wood buildings are required to be protected in some form, there are still many parts of the building that are not necessarily required to be protected, especially in private residential structures. A fire may start in an area of a building that is protected, but may propagate into areas that are not. This leaves portions of the unprotected structure vulnerable to rapid fire damage. Lightweight wood members can quickly lose load resistance due to a loss of cross-section as a result of charring. Analytical models currently exist and are generally accepted for heavy timber elements, but the applications of these models do not extend to lightweight wood members. As a result, this thesis investigated the application of an analytical model to lightweight wood elements. In developing this model, the finite element method and finite difference models were used to investigate the phenomenon of wood char in fire conditions. Finite difference models were explored as an alternative to finite element models because finite difference formulations did not require specialty programs. Following the development of analytical char models, mechanics-based analyses were conducted to evaluate the performance of lightweight beams and columns exposed to fire conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reliability analysis using second-moment approximations is conducted on two types of fire-exposed, unprotected wood floors--conventional wood joist and floor-truss assemblies. A methodology is illustrated by which the probability of structural failure of a wood floor assembly can be evaluated. This probability, with the probabilities of failure of other system components, can be used in a systematic analysis that apparently is a viable approach to realistic analysis of building fire safety. The use of reliability analysis to compare relative fire safety of different floor components is demonstrated. A procedure for introducing new components into the market, based on a concept of an equal safety index calculated for a component with a proven inservice record, is discussed. (Author).

Book excerpt: Analytical procedures to predict the fire endurance of structural wood members have been developed worldwide. This research is reviewed for capability to predict the results of tests in North America and what considerations are necessary to apply the information here. Critical research needs suggested include: (1) Investigation of load levels used in reported tests, and parameters in analyses, for application to North American practice; (2) the effect of lumber grade on wood property response at elevated temperature; and (3) further effort in reliability-based design procedures so that the safety of fire-exposed members and assemblies may be determined.
