Methodology for the Fabrication and Experimental Investigation of CLT Panel Samples with Fire-Protective Cladding
Abstract
The article presents a methodology for the fabrication of specimen fragments of CLT panels without fire protection and with fire-protective cladding consisting of single-layer and double-layer gypsum plasterboards, developed using computer modeling in the SolidWorks software environment. The aim of this study is to develop a methodology for the fabrication of specimen fragments of CLT panels without fire protection and with fire-protective cladding based on gypsum plasterboards, intended for subsequent fire testing to investigate the behavior of CLT panels under high-temperature exposure in accordance with the standard temperature–time fire curve. To achieve the stated aim, the following tasks are to be accomplished: to analyze current research and assess the relevance of the use of CLT panels in construction; to develop computer models of CLT panel specimens without fire protection and with fire-protective cladding in single-layer and double-layer configurations based on gypsum plasterboards using the SolidWorks software package; and to develop a methodology for the fabrication of CLT specimen fragments, specifying the number of specimens, the type of fire-protective cladding, and the series of fire tests in accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements.
