Abstract

Thick plywood floor has the following advantages1 floor joists are not needed and construction process becomes simple 2 deflection gets fewer 3 noise barrier performance is improved. Owing to these assets the thick plywood is now in high demand in Japan. In order to stimulate further demand the usage for the high fireproof construction is absolutely necessary. In this study the fire performance of the thick plywood and the floor construction using thick plywood was evaluated according to the ISO 5660-1 test cone calorimeter testand the ISO 834-1 test fire-resistance test. The insulation property of the thick plywood in the ISO 834-1 test was correlated with the ISO 5660-1 test results. The floor construction using 28mm thick softwood plywood density 400kg/m3 was classified into the 45 minutes quasi-fireproof construction floor in the Building Standard Law of Japan.
