Fire resistance of primary beam - secondary beam connections in timber structures

摘要

Purpose - This paper deals with the fire resistance of primary and secondary beam connections in timber structures. Design/methodology/approach - This paper describes a series of unloaded and loaded furnace fire tests in different configurations of these types of connectors. Findings - The main objective is the fire safety design of joist hangers and full thread screws. Originality/value - Design recommendations are given.
