Fire Safety Design of Mid-rise Timber Buildings

Introduction

Details of the principles and fire engineering analysis done to support the 2016 changes to the NCC to help you design or determine compliant performance solutions

This Guide will: 

• describe the DTS solutions in the NCC 2016 for mid-rise timber buildings and explain the underlying fire safety principles
• provide details of the fire engineering analysis undertaken to compare the mid-rise timber building solution with non-timber DTS solutions
• present useful data and analysis methods relevant to the fire safety design of timber buildings.
