Abstract

Structural fire protection is a fundamental requirement to facades as the outer surface of external walls of multi-storey buildings (independent of the used material). Goal is to prevent uncontrolled fire spread on the surface of the external wall for a fixed period. Additionally, structural fire protection is essential to the various combustible facade specifications. Thus, timber and timber derived products can be used without reducing the aspired security level. This article is giving a review on the state of research and the integration of research results in the construction catalogue for fire safe facades.
