1. Permanent Fire Load of the Building Envelope
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : Fire load, the total thermal energy released by the combustion of a material, is an essential part of determining a building’s fire performance and the associated fire protection strategies. Elements in a structure are typically categorized into two types of fire loads: permanent and temporary. READ MORE

2. Axially loaded screw joints in wooden structures exposed to fire : Fire tests in furnace and numerical calculations in TASEF of different screw mounting variations
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : To achieve sufficient stability of a structure in a fire scenario, a thorough design of joints in wooden structures are as important as the design of the construction itself. As an earlier study points out, there are no existing design method available to determine the load capacity of an axially loaded screw joint in wooden structures, which complicate the process of a thorough design of the joint in a fire scenario.

3. Strength of axially loaded screw joints in wooden structures exposed to fire : An overview of existing knowledge and proposal for test method
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Today, distinct approaches are required when designing timber structures and their joints in the event of fire. Considering that the steel fasteners have temperature dependent properties and that the surrounding wooden construction is also affected by the fire due to occurrence of charring during fire exposure, these types of joints are complicated to design.

4. Performance of joints for glued laminated timber exposed to the ISO fire temperature curve
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : As society becomes more ecologically conscious there is a push toward the use of materials with a smaller environmental burden, one of these materials is glulam (GLT), which has gained a lot of traction in recent years not only for ecological reasons but for its ease in manufacture, transport, noise dampening, etc. The focus of this project was to evaluate the influence of different joint configurations on the fire performance of glulam members.

5. Delamination of Cross-laminated timber and its impact on fire development | Focusing on different types of adhesives
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för BrandteknikAbstract : In the recent decade, the interest of building taller all-timber structures using engineered timber materials such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) has increased substantially. On the other hand, there’s also a significant resistance and fear concerning the fire safety of buildings with wood-based load-bearing structures. READ MORE
