Structural Means for Fire-Safe Wooden Façade Design

Abstract This study investigates five fire stop variants used to limit the spread of on wooden façades. For this purpose, tests using various types façade claddings and different stops were conducted as full-scale compared existing findings. The influences interactions between material qualities external wall behind cladding, construction type design substructure, depth ventilation gap, investigated. In evaluating stops, interior corners, joint design, influence thermal expansion examined. Finally, proposals for at façades in order derived based evaluation. outlook presents further needs that need be investigated future clarify undiscussed aspects or points ultimately not evaluated within scope study.
