Participants may download the presentation here: resources This course is registered with AIA CES for continuing professional education. As such, it does not include content that may be deemed or construed to be an approval or endorsement by the AIA of any material of construction or any method or manner of handling, using, distributing, or dealing in any material or product. Questions related to specific materials, methods, and services will be addressed at the conclusion of this presentation. 2
3 COURSE DESCRIPTION Adhesive bonding of wood laminations allows for the manufacture of large wood members. Adhesives used for this purpose must meet specified levels of resistance to heat at elevated temperatures. This performance is determined through testing. Code-referenced standards currently require such adhesives to pass a bond line shear test at elevated temperatures as a demonstration of this performance. The presentation will include an overview of the manufacturing of glued engineered wood products and the applicable code-referenced standards. During the work of the ICC Tall Wood Building Ad Hoc Committee (TWB), special test programs were developed and performed with the input of the fire service. New test protocols were developed to ensure the adhesive used in crosslaminated timber (CLT) will not result in the re-kindling of uncharred wood at the bond line. Background and the resulting test protocol for CLT will be presented. 3
4 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion, participants will be: What is CLT? 1 3 Recognize how cross-laminated timber and other glued engineered wood products are manufactured. 2 Compartment Tests 4 Describe the compartment fire test results and circumstances that led to the development of a full-scale room fire protocol for qualifying adhesives used to manufacture cross-laminated timber. Adhesive Qualification Tests Summarize the test protocols and associated pass/fail criteria established in PRG 320 for qualifying adhesives and evaluate their impact on mass timber construction. Applicable Code Requirements Understand the proposed code change that addresses the performance requirements for cross laminated timber, and state its impact on mass timber construction. 4

13 Outline What is CLT? Compartment Tests Adhesive Qualification Tests Applicable Code Requirements 13
14 COMPARTMENT TESTS What is a Compartment Fire Test? A fire test within a compartment having at least one opening Simulates a flashover fire in an actual room or apartment Fuel type: Either real furnishings, gas or other combustible fuels 14
15 FIRE TESTING: COMPARTMENT TEST VS. ASTM E119 Compartment Fires: Temperatures typically peak more quickly and remain higher than E119 standard fire test during fully-developed phase Temps start to decrease once fuel is mostly consumed (decay phase) E119 Standard Fire: Temperatures gradually increase throughout exposure It takes >4 hours for the temperature to reach the same level as the typical peak temp in a compartment fire 15
16 NFPA FPRF COMPARTMENT TESTS NFPA Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF) Tests done for NFPA s Property Insurance Research Group (PIRG) Purpose: Evaluate the contribution of CLT elements to compartment fires to collect data for insurance modeling Tests performed by NRC Canada Tests performed at NIST facilities 6 Compartment tests: 2 with all CLT protected 4 with various surfaces exposed Report available at FPRF website: 16
17 NFPA FPRF COMPARTMENT TESTS No significant contribution of CLT when all surfaces were protected with Type X gypsum wallboard Where surfaces were exposed, CLT contribution increased with increasing exposed CLT surface area Modeling performed by Research Institute of Sweden (RISE) was close to measured results 17
18 NFPA FPRF COMPARTMENT TESTS Fire re-growth observed in multiple FPRF tests Fire re-growth caused by failure of bond lines before being reached by char front (i.e., heat-delamination) Images courtesy of Joseph Su, NRC Canada 18
19 NFPA FPRF COMPARTMENT TESTS Test 1-4: Exposed CLT ceiling 1 st heat-delamination occurred around 50 minutes, extending fullydeveloped phase 2 nd heat-delamination occurred around 150 minutes, resulting in fire re-growth Graphs courtesy of Joseph Su, NRC Canada 19
20 NFPA FPRF COMPARTMENT TESTS 20
21 NFPA FPRF COMPARTMENT TESTS Similar fire re-growth behavior observed in other compartment tests with exposed areas of CLT All instances of fire re-growth were caused by adhesive heat delamination Result of this behavior Fire may not necessarily burn out after compartment contents are consumed 21

23 Outline What is CLT? Compartment Tests Adhesive Qualification Tests Applicable Code Requirements 23
