Fire safety in timber buildings - Technical guideline for Europe.
Birgit Östman,Esko Mikkola,René Stein,Andrea Frangi,Jürgen König,D. Dhima,Tuula Hakkarainen,Julie Bregulla +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the very first technical guideline on the European level for the fire safe use of timber structures and wood products in buildings is presented. It aims at providing the highest scientific knowledge and...

Thermo-mechanical analysis of the fire performance of dowelled timber connection
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional finite element approach is developed to investigate the performance of dowelled timber connections in fire and a parametric analysis is done to evaluate the influence of the timber thickness on the reduction of the loadbearing capacity of the connections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical investigations on the thermo-mechanical behavior of steel-to-timber joints exposed to fire
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element model is developed to predict the thermo-mechanical behavior of steel-to-timber doweled joints in tension parallel to grain exposed to fire.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavior of dowelled and bolted steel-to-timber connections exposed to fire
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the type of fasteners (bolt, dowel) on the thermo-mechanical behavior of the connections is studied, and a three-dimensional finite element model validated on the basis of experimental results is used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental and numerical analysis of timber connections in tension perpendicular to grain in fire
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D finite element model is used to validate a steel-to-timber connection in cold and ISO-fire conditions, which is based on two different meshes for thermal and thermo-mechanical calculations.
