Robustness in fire
Kapitel i bok, 2022

With the increasing number of complex and tall timber buildings with a significant area of unprotected timber surfaces, questions arise about the robustness of these buildings in extreme fire scenarios. In recent building projects, measures for robustness have been implemented on an ad hoc basis in agreement between the designers and the authorities. This chapter discusses general approaches to achieve structural robustness with regard to fire design and evaluates them to give guidance for robust fire design of timber structures.
