This comprehensive monograph delves into the realm of fire hazards and fire resistance in wooden structures, particularly those with extended operational durations. Beyond its rising significance in modern architecture, wood has held a paramount position as the primary building material throughout history. Its distinct aesthetic appeal, remarkable mechanical strength, and remarkable resilience to various environmental fluctuations are evident in structures such as the awe-inspiring Grinstead Chuch, which has stood tall since 1045.

However, readers will also gain insights into the declining fire resistance observed in wooden buildings with extended service lives. Given the cultural significance of medieval wood structures, this topic assumes increasing importance. The chapters in this book explore the mechanical, physico-chemical, and thermophysical properties of wooden structures across different lifespan stages. Various factors contributing to the changing fire resistance in the aging process of wooden structures are elucidated, shedding light on the complex dynamics at play.

This book serves as an invaluable resource for students, educators, and researchers in the fields of wood science, fire research, and forestry. Its comprehensive coverage and in-depth analysis provide a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with designing and maintaining fire-safe wooden structures in the modern world.
