Fire safety design: we need to talk about timber
This new guide aims to clarify the role of the structural engineer in designing building structures for fire and explains how compliance with the functional requirements of the Building Regulations can be achieved.
Emma Shaw, Content & Engagement Manager at CROSS, draws on a series of recent reports to highlight fire-safety issues that may arise when works are carried out on occupied buildings.
This on demand webinar will explore best practice for mass timber connections, with case studies on durability and fire in enclosed or exposed situations. Develop your awareness of how connection design influences the safety and performance in timber structures. The third in a series of three mass timber webinars.
