Abstract
The use of timber as a structural material has been increasing rapidly in recent years, largely in response to demands for buildings to become more sustainable with lower carbon footprints compared with traditional methods. The current article focuses on the challenges of achieving a ‘fi re-safe’ timber building, particularly for complex, open-plan or multistorey applications. Before going into detail on this, it is important fi rst to provide some more general context in terms of fi re-safe design and the recent changes to building regulations in the UK.
