Provides a computational method for determining the fire-resistance of solid and glued-laminated structural timber members as an alternative to furnace testing. Information is also provided on methods of protecting timber and metal connectors from the effects of fire.
Scope
This Standard provides a computational method for determining the fire-resistance of solid and glued-laminated structural timber members as an alternative to testing in accordance with AS 1530.4.
This Standard also provides guidance on methods for protecting metal connectors from the effects of fire.
NOTES:
1. This Standard is not relevant to the determination of the early fire hazard properties of materials for which a method of assessment is given in AS 1530.3.
2. This Standard is not relevant to structural accreditation through furnace testing for which the appropriate Standard is AS 1530.4.
