Abstract
Simple calculation models for charring rate of solid wood, nail- and glue-laminated structural elements for use in fire design of wooden structures have been compared with test results from the literature. The applicability to these structural elements, and the accuracy of the models, have been evaluated based on parameters influencing the charring rate, which include species, density, moisture content, char contraction factor, external heat flux, oxygen concentration and duration of the fire. The models evaluated in this article are applicable to one- or two-dimensional charring under standard fire exposure.
