✦ Synopsis
The charring of wood studs has been studied in the cone calorimeter at constant heat flux 50 kW/m 2 and compared to data from full-scale furnace wall tests. The wood studs were unprotected or protected by gypsum plasterboards on the exposed side. Similar charring depths were found and the data analysed mainly in terms of fire exposure. A simple small-scale technique was developed to measure the heat transfer through protective boards and the charring depth of wood studs. These properties are essential for the load bearing capacity of wood frame structures. 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
