Abstract

Within the German research project "Fire resistance of primary beam secondary beam connections in timber structures" solutions for a fire-safe design will be developed. This paper describes a series of small scale furnace fire tests and associated parametrical investigations by finite Element Modelling with joist hangers and self-tapping screws. Further on the designs and first results of full-scale fire tests on loaded connections will be presented.
