timber frame wall assemblies

The present standards do not consider cases for timber elements covered with fireresistant penetrating coatings and jointed claddings simultaneously. This article is focused on the influence of such combined fire protection on charring depth of studs in timber frame wall assemblies exposed to fire. A key idea was to investigate rather common in local building types of wall assemblies. Wood panels with rabbet joints as cladding with commercially available fire-coating were used for the frame specimens with loose-fill mineral wool filling.
