Fire resistance limit for wood constructions in high-rise buildings

Abstract

A significant problem in the construction area in the Russian Federation is a ban on high-rise wooden buildings. To solve this problem, it is necessary to study the state of the issue in the world and in the Russian Federation, and analyze the development prospects of this area. The necessity to optimize the existing methods for testing wooden building structures is shown. Examples of various documents regulating the production and use of wooden and composite building structures are given. The work reflects in detail the international experience in the implementation of the main provisions of regulatory documents and European tests for fire resistance, which shows the possibility of implementing such an experience in the Russian Federation. To develop a regulatory framework for wood structures in high-rise construction, it is necessary to conduct large-scale experiments on wooden structures to study their fire resistance. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the features of combustible building materials.
