Fire Performance of Timber & Hybrid Structures
$99.00 GST
Understand how engineered timber and hybrid structures perform in fire. CPD for engineers, architects, certifiers and fire safety consultants.
Description
This course, Fire Performance of Timber & Hybrid Structures, is designed for engineers, architects, certifiers, and fire safety consultants. It provides an in-depth understanding of how engineered timber and hybrid structures behave in fire conditions, including heat transfer, combustion, and flame spread.
The course covers regulatory requirements from the National Construction Code (NCC), comparing fire resistance levels of timber with conventional materials like steel and concrete. It explores performance-based fire solutions, including encapsulation, active suppression systems, and computational fire modeling. Real-world case studies and fire testing results are examined to demonstrate successful fire-safe timber construction in Australia. The session concludes with best practices for ensuring compliance, safety, and sustainability in timber-based construction.
