20.500.12556/DiRROS-24175 Structural fire behaviour Fire safety and fire protection objectives require that buildings and parts of buildings do not collapse during a fire. This requires that the load-carrying capacity is maintained to a minimum acceptable level during a fire. This chapter briefly describes the historical background and state of the art of fire resistance and its determination for timber members through testing or calculations. The thermal and mechanical principles that underpin structural behaviour of wood at elevated temperatures are explained in the context of explicit calculation methods that enable explicit evaluation of the structural capacity beyond fire resistance, which is a formalised and codified assessment of structural elements against a standard fire. The importance of connections to the overall structure in fire is explained along with suitable design considerations. Ultimately, knowledge gaps with respect to novel and more complex engineered timber products for taller timber buildings are highlighted alongside potential limitations of established design parameters. fire resistance fire safety structures load-carrying capacity timber connections požarna odpornost požarna varnost konstrukcije nosilnost les spojke true false true Springer Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik © The Author(s) 2025 Neznano 2025-11-18 08:46:12 2025-11-18 08:58:28 2025-11-19 03:42:41 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 288-299 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-09-24 62 10.1007/978-3-032-02098-7_22 254151683 250803459 https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-02098-7_22 0 a91dbaee-c452-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=35975 RAZ_Wiesner_Felix_2025.pdf RAZ_Wiesner_Felix_2025.pdf 1 EC43829E2B1FD4749E55EA7468D20DF3 2cb1737973f4f74721b0f8e7ad499a45764195b448e1d6fa8745dd046966b3e7 62004fbb-c453-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=35976 Zavod za gradbeništvo Slovenije 0 0 0
