WORKED EXAMPLE 3
Calculate the time to failure for the beam in Worked
Example 1 using NA empirical design equation.
Design bending moment: M* = 112 kNm
Design strength: Mn = k1 fb Z = 127 kNm
Load ratio: Ra = M* / Mn = 112/127 = 0.882
z factor: z = 0.7 +0.3/Ra = 0.7+0.3/0.882 = 1.04
Time to failure:
tf = 0.1 z b (4-b/d)
tf = 0.1x1.04x130 (4-130/720) = 50.1 min
Time to failure is less than 60 minutes, so the
beam fails in the fire.

Section modulus:
Z = bd2/6 = 1000x1502/6 = 3.75x106 mm3
Design strength:
Mn = k1 fb Z = 0.8x0.8x25x3.75 = 60.0 kNm
M* Mn so design is OK.
Janssen's formula
Load ratio: Ra = M* / Mn = 32.5/60 = 0.54
Time to failure:
tsf = 1.25 d (1-(0.4Ra))-11.3
tsf = 1.25x150 (1- (0.4 X 0.54))-11.3 = 89 min

Metal Fasteners
The behaviour of metal fasteners depends on the
temperature of the metal because:
it affects the strength of the fastener itself
high temperatures lead to charring or loss of strength
of wood in contact with the metal

Glued Connections
Many timber structures and timber members are
connected with adhesive
When exposed to fire, glued wood members
generally behave in the same way as solid wood
provided that thermosetting adhesives are used
Some adhesive such as epoxies are sensitive to
elevated temperatures and should not be relied
on in fire conditions
