Introduction
Timber in fire:
• Chars
• Contains moisture
• Has low thermal
• conductivity

Introduction
Eurocode 5:
• Reduced cross-section method
Most used
• Reduced material property method
• Advanced method

Reduced cross-section method of EC5
Concerns:
• Thickness of the zero strength layer
• The use of increased strength properties under fire conditions
• The use of the method for fire resistances exceeding 60 minutes

Main conclusions • Either the strength grading or the reduced cross-section method lead
to non-conservative errors
• There is only a small number of tests for which efforts were made to determine the strength at ambient temperature
• The reduced cross-section method needs further testing to be considered for fire resistances more than 60 minutes
