  1. 1. Performance of joints for glued laminated timber exposed to the ISO fire temperature curve

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Jesus Gil; [2021]
    Keywords : Glued laminated Timber; Structural fire engineering; Fire performance; standard ISO fire curve; Joints; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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.

  3. 2. Study of glue-laminated timber connections with high fire resistance using expanded steel tubes

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : David Ronstad; Niklas Ek; [2018]
    Keywords : Expanded steel tubes; Glue-laminated timber; Fire resistance; Glue-laminated timber connection; Expanderade ståltuber; Limträ; Brandmotstånd; Limträförband;

    Abstract : A key factor regarding fire safety of timber buildings is the performance of connections between the structural elements, since this determines the load-carrying capacity of the structure. Traditional timber connections do generally perform poorly in a fire compared to surrounding parts since the joints often consist of exposed metal parts and cavities which locally decreases the fire resistance.
