Abstract
The development and renaissance of modern engineered products, advanced connections and modern construction technology have made it viable to design and construct multi-storey timber buildings. However, a number of issues need to be raised urgently, in particular fire safety and secondary structural effects. This research aims to develop performance-based fire engineered solutions for tall timber buildings through current design practice review, experimental examinations of engineered timber products and connections, performance-based fire safety modelling and numerical simulations of tall timber buildings under fire conditions so as to eventually help construction industries to plan, design and construct tall timber buildings. This research is under progress at Glasgow Caledonian University, UK and this paper summarises the procedures for designing tall timber buildings using CLT to the current Eurocodes.
