1 Regulatory guidance for timber buildings in the UK and results from full-scale tests Julie Bregulla Tallinn, 13 September 2005
2 TF 2000
3 Project Partners and Objectives PARTNERS United Kingdom Government BRE TRADA Technology UK Timber Industry OBJECTIVES Data to assist in harmonisation of UK building codes Demonstrate the fire performance of timber frame construction Investigate the relevance of standard fire resistance tests compared to real fire exposure
4 Building Regulations before TF 2000 Different Regulations for different parts of the UK England and Wales Approved Document B Northern Ireland- Technical Booklet E Scotland- Technical Standard D Requirements for timber frame generally more onerous in Scottish regulations Importance of England and Wales as future market for timber frame Great need for harmonisation of regulations
5 Main fire related barriers to using timber in building regulations before TF 2000 Scottish regulations: -separating floor-greater than 11m to be of non-combustible construction, precluding timber frame above 5 storeys stair shaft and protected lobbies to be of non-combustible construction stairs to be non-combustible Rest of UK - stairs to be non-combustible where single means of escape for flats of four or more levels
6 Compartment Fire Test Fire load provided by timber cribs Floor loading equal to one third of the design imposed load Investigate compartmentation, integrity of means of escape, structural stability and tenability criteria Termination criteria based on period of exposure of timber elements
7 Compartment fire test - project objectives To obtain valuable data on the performance of a complete building subject to a real fire To provide a quantitative appraisal of the performance of forms of construction tested to the standard fire resistance test To demonstrate that a medium-rise building of timber frame construction can meet the functional requirements of the UK Building Regulations
8 Instrumentation Fire atmosphere temperature Heat flux Oxygen concentration Charring depths Differential pressure Fire/Smoke detector response times Carbon Monoxide concentration Smoke density Video record
9 Plan view of test compartment Fire flat

12 Compartment fire test - air temperatures Oxygen concentration and atmosphere temperature at 200mm below ceiling in living area of fire flat oxygen concentration (%) Fire Brigade break kitchen window Engineer cleaning O2 system First brigade water into flat Brigade water into living room temperature (deg C) time (mins) 0 oxygen Temp Temp
13 Post-test fire damage
14 Time equivalence Average ceiling void temperature - measured on back of plasterboard temperature (deg C) time (mins) TF2000 test Furnace
15 Conclusions from compartment test Common areas remained tenable for means of escape Importance of workmanship in terms of fire performance Exposure equivalent to 66 minutes exposure in a BS476: Part fire resistance test Integrity between compartments maintained Load bearing capacity maintained
16 Impact of TF 2000 on regulations Harmonisation of UK regulations Changes to Scottish technical standards- 6th Amendment March/April 2002 Removal of non-combustibility requirement for separating floors between 11m and 18m
17 Stair test: Functional fire safety objectives Access for fire brigade remove persons immediately at risk access to fight fire Evacuation of other occupants after the fire event
18 Fire performance requirements for stair If fire is in the stair, the staircase must retain its load bearing capacity must not contribute significantly to the fire development
19 Generic Features Scissors type stair geometry Whitewood timber Thermosetting type glue (Cascamite) No stair coverings Pressure impregnated treatment (Hickson Dricon) Notional Class 1 Reaction- to-fire performance
20 Trial tests
21 Impact on stair
22 Underside of stair
23 Stair performance
24 Conclusions from stair fire test The test has demonstrated the ability of an appropriately treated timber stair to meet the functional fire safety objectives for the UK Benchmarking tests required Stair Coverings not currently included
