Aside from its increasing importance for modern architecture, wood has been the most important building material in the past. It has a distinct aesthetic, high mechanical strength, and resistance against many environmental changes. These properties are evident in structures like the still standing Grinstead Chuch, which has been built in 1045.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders will however learn about the decreasing fire resistance in wooden buildings with a long service live. Considering the cultural value of medieval wood buildings, this topic becomes increasingly relevant. The chapters discuss the mechanical, physico-chemical and thermophysical properties of wooden structures over different lifespans. Many factors contributing to the changing fire resistance in the ageing process of wooden structures, are explained.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for students, teachers and scientists in the areas of wood science, fire research and forestry. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45281960689815,"sku":"9783031240768","price":12486.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031240768.webp?v=1769300725","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fire-hazard-and-fire-resistance-of-wooden-structures-9783031240768","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
