Evaluation of the Cross-Section of Support Construction Elements in Wood with Gypsum Submitted to Fire on One Side

Resumo

In this work, different numerical tests are presented, for the assessment of the thermal and transient
analysis, of different constructive elements in wood, with gypsum protection, in fire conditions. This type of
constructive element presents cavities, making the numerical analysis in the study complex in the approximation
to real models. The analysis was carried out considering the nonlinearity of the materials. The objectives were to
investigate which is the best numerical model, using the finite element method, which addresses experimental
tests carried out by other authors and to be used in different parametric models that can be used by designers to
prevent fire resistance in these components.
