6 Design Methodology for Beams and Columns D Heated zone Charred wood b = width (inches) of beam or larger column face d = depth (inches) of beam or narrower column face z = load factor r = load ratio t = fire endurance time (minutes) W Fire Endurance Time for Beams (1) fire exposure on four sides t=254zb[4-2(b/d)] 2.54 (2) fire exposure on three sides t = 2.54 z b [4-(b/d)] Fire Endurance Time for Columns (1) fire exposure on four sides t=254zb[3-2(d/b)] 2.54 (2) fire exposure on three sides t = 2.54 z b [3-(d/2b)]

7 Column Stability - Fixity Factors IBC Table (2) Buckling Modes Load Factor z For columns with K e l /d <11: z = 1.5 for r 50 z = /r for r > 50 Recommended K e Values Load Factor z For columns with K e l /d >11, and all llbeams: z = 1.3 for r 50 Load Ratio r r = Load max allowable load actual z = /r for r > 50 can be expressed as geometry or other ratio forms since load is a linear variable

8 Exposed dbeam Example Exposed dbeam Example Given: 8.75 x24 Glulam beam exposed to fire on 3 sides; S req d = 753 in 3 Need: 1 hour rating Calculate the Load Ratio, r r = S req d / S supplied = 753 in 3 / 840 in 3 = 90% Calculate the Load Factor, z z = /r = / 90 = Exposed dbeam Example Calculate the Fire Endurance Time, t t = 2.54 z b [4-b/d] = 2.54 (1.035)(8.75) [4-(8.75/24)] = 83 minutes Calculate up to 2-hours Bending / Compression / Tension Lumber / Glulam / SCL / Decking

11 Design Example Design Example Douglas fir glulam beams Span L = 18 feet Spaced at s = 6 feet Design Load q live = 100 psf q dead = 15 psf For the structural design of the beam, calculate the induced moment: Beam load: w total = s (q dead + q live ) = (6 )(15+100) Induced demand moment: M max = w total L 2 / 8 = (690)(18) 2 / 8 = 690 plf = 27,945 ft-lb Timber decking nailed to the compression edge of beams provides lateral bracing Size the beam for required bending strength for 1 hour fire duration Design Example Design Example Select a 6-3/4 x 12 24F-V4 Douglas-fir glulam beam Tabulated bending stress, F b, equal to 2400 psi Calculate the design resisting moment: M = F b S s = (2371)(162) / 12 = 32,009 ft-lb Calculate the beam section modulus: S = 2 = 2 /6 = 3 s BD /6 (6.75)(12) in Calculate the adjusted allowable bending stress: Assuming: C D = 1.0, C M = 1.0, C t = 1.0, C L = 1.0, C V = 0.99 F b = F b (C D )(C M )(C t )(lesser of C L or C V ) = 2400(1.0)(1.0)(1.0)(0.99) 0)(1 0)(1 0)(0 = 2371 psi Structural Capacity Check: M > M max 32,009 ft-lb > 27,945 ft-lb

12 Design Example Design Example For the fire design of the wood beam: the loading is unchanged, therefore, the maximum moment is unchanged, the fire resistance must be calculated Charring depth char for 1 hour duration: Required Fire Effective Char Effective Char Layer Endurance Rate, eff Thickness, char (hr) (in/hr) (in) 1-Hour ½-Hour Hour Substitute in residual cross-section dimensions for 3-sided beam into the section modulus relation, i.e.: 3-Sided Exposure (i.e. beams) b = B - 2 t d = D - t = B - 2 char = D - char Calculate charred beam section modulus exposed on 3-sides: S f = (B-2 char )(D- char ) 2 / 6 = (6.75-2(1.8))(12-1.8) 2 / 6 = 54.6 in 3 Design Example Calculate the adjusted allowable bending stress : F b = F b (lesser of C L or C V ) = 2400(0.99) = 2371 psi Calculate strength resisting moment using charred cross-section: M = K F b S f = (2.85)(2371)(54.6)/12 ) = 30,758 ft-lb Flame Spread DCA 1 Flame Spread Performance of Wood Products Fire Capacity Check: M > M max 30,758 ft-lb > 27,945 ft-lb
