Thermal Expansion Of Wood And Timber-concrete Composite Members Under Iso-fire Exposure

Frangi, A. and Fontana, M., 2003. Thermal Expansion Of Wood And Timber-concrete Composite Members Under Iso-fire Exposure. Fire Safety Science 7: 1111-1122. doi:10.3801/IAFSS.FSS.7-1111


ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the influence and effects of thermal expansion on the structural behaviour of timber slabs and timber-concrete composite slabs exposed to ISO-fire. The first part of the paper presents a simplified model to calculate the effects of the thermal expansion, in the second part the calculation model is compared to fire test results.
