Fire Science for Wood Products 2024 Fall

Fire Science for Wood Products (this is not a self-paced course)

October 28 – November 8, 2024

This course summarises and describes the scientific principles that govern fire development in buildings and the effect that timber products have on a building’s fire safety strategy. Pyrolysis, ignition and heat transfer modes are introduced as crucial elements in the evaluation of micro and bench-scale fire resting results that characterize wood’s reaction to fire.
