To design timber elements to sustain not only during but also after fire, we need to know the burning behavior of timber elements. In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the mechanism of burning during post heating period changing air supply rate for cooling. As the results, we got to know burning of wood dies out if the air supply rate is small. Additionally, numerical calculation model has been tried to develop to describe interaction between furnace condition and burning. However, the model did not predict the heat release rate accurately.
