Fire behaviour of large scale wooden roof structures.

In a German research project the structural fire prevention for large scale wooden roof structures under parametric fire exposure was investigated. In this paper the effect of flame spread at exposed lining and inside the elements, the protection capacity of lining under natural fire exposure as well as measures to avoid glowing combustion inside the elements will be presented, to reach a sufficient level of fire safety for the plane elements, junctions, penetration areas and the entire structure. Based on these results a proposal for design strategies of wooden roof elements with enhanced fire safety for industrial buildings and special event buildings under consideration of structural measures will be provided.     «
