The main focus of this paper is on the tensile strength of wood at high temperatures. On analysing previous literature, it was observed that results by different researchers are different, even though a vast reduction of the tensile strength at elevated temperatures was clear in all of them. Thus, a need for further investigation into the matter became apparent. As a key part of this paper, steady-state tensile strength experiments below charring temperatures were carried out, and their results were analysed. The results were then used in analysing the tensile strength of a wooden beam subjected to a fire using the Fire Dynamics Simulator.

炭化前木材在高温下的抗拉强度

本文的主要重点是木材在高温下的抗拉强度。在分析以前的文献时，观察到不同研究人员的结果是不同的，尽管在所有研究人员中都清楚高温下拉伸强度的大幅降低。因此，对此事进行进一步调查的必要性变得明显。作为本文的关键部分，进行了低于炭化温度的稳态拉伸强度实验，并对其结果进行了分析。然后将结果用于使用 Fire Dynamics Simulator 分析遭受火灾的木梁的抗拉强度。
