OVERVIEW OF METHODS TO INCREASE WOOD FIRE RESISTANCE
Due to the rather high demand for wood and its derivatives in the construction industry for many years the study and improvement of the physical and chemical characteristics of wood in order to improve the fire retardant properties has been an urgent issue. The rapid progress in the field of composite materials is replacing environmentally friendly wood due to the dynamic instability of its fire retardant performance. The paper studies the mechanism of wood combustion and the possibility of influencing the increase in the limit of resistance of the material to fire. The work is based on a review of the methods of wood fire protection, the identification of the effectiveness of the considered methods and the characteristic features of the approach to solving the problem. The result of the review is an assessment of the considered methods and recommendations for their application.
