Abstract

The chapter delves into the methodologies for determining notional char rates of timber, focusing on the differences between Australian and European standards. It introduces a novel approach using ceramic fibre interlayers and nail-laminated timber, which simplifies specimen construction and instrumentation. The research program involves a series of tests under various heating regimes and with different thermocouple configurations, aiming to provide comprehensive data on char rates for both protected and unprotected timber. The study also investigates the optimal placement and type of thermocouples to ensure accurate temperature measurements, contributing valuable insights to the field of fire safety engineering and structural design.
