Timber Engineering Notebook No. 7: Fire safety in timber buildings
Abstract
Fire spread in buildings is a risk to life safety for which the Building Regulations aims to reduce to acceptable levels. For the designer, there is a responsibility to specify materials, and to provide details that: reduce the potential for fire ignition limit the spread of fire stop the passage of hot gases and smoke This notebook provides an introduction to fire safety in relation to timber structures. Designers involved in fire engineering should be aware that it is a specialist subject and that this notebook is a top-level introduction to the scope of fire safety issues.
