Fire and shock resistance of wooden frame of buildings

ABSTRACT

This study is focused on the fire and shock resistance of wooden structures. Fire resistance was investigated through testing the fire resistance duration and charring rate at different positions of the wooden structure. Shock resistance was studied based on the peak load changes and shear capacity of the wooden structure. Finally, optimization strategies were proposed for improving the performance of the wooden structure of buildings.
