The current environmental and energetic crisis and the resulting regulations led to a new
interest in using sustainable materials for building applications. Wood can be a material with …

The paper presents a complex solution for testing loaded structural-sized glue laminated
timber and innovative wood-carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) composite beams …

This paper presents the experimental results on the fire resistance of traditional timber
mortise-tenon joints with looseness, decay and cracking in the jointing area. Static loading …

This paper presents the results of the fire resistance of traditional timber mortise-tenon joints
with service damage. Static loading and fire resistance tests were conducted with full scale …

The addition of prestressing not only improves the force resistance of glulam beams, but
also provides a potential solution to improve their fire resistance. An in-depth study of the fire …

This study presents the fire performance of typical components of wood structure buildings.
The wooden beams and floor slabs, quite common in wood structure buildings, were burned …

The study involved combustion of 24 structural-sized beams under three-point bending
subjected to substantial loading prior to ignition, reaching 90% of characteristic load …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of fire exposure on the mechanical
properties of glued laminated timbers (glulams) made from five softwood species as …

Charring of timber structural elements in fire is one of the most fundamental phenomena that
affect the fire resistance of these elements. For an accurate and safe design of structural fire …

Modern construction relies more and more on wooden structures. To minimize the costly
consequences of fire, wooden beams are required to exhibit acceptable fire resistance. A …
