Improved fire deign models for Timber Frame Assemblies - Guidance document

Models for calculating the fire separating properties and reduced cross-section of light timber frame assemblies are presented in EN 1995-1-2 [1] and the handbook Fire safety in timber buildings [2]. These design models are further improved within the COST Action FP1404 and presented in this document. The document provides the outcome of the research performed within the WG2 of the COST action FP1404, including specific guidelines for the design of loadbearing and non-load bearing floors/walls
