2、ain reasons that many building regulations strictly limit the use of timber as a building material. Fire safety is an important contribution to feeling safe, and an important criterion for the choice of building materials. Historically, the combustibility aspect of wood has been a disadvantage for u
3、sing timber as a construction material. The main precondition for an increased use of timber in buildings is providing adequate re safety. This paper reviews the opportunities and challenges to reach this goal by implementing Fire Safety Engineering and Performance Based Design principles. Keywords:

Introduction Timber structures have experienced a renaissance during the recent few decades due to their environmental credentials, and societal goals striving for sustainable development with lower energy demands and less poll
5、ution in all sectors including the construction sector that stands for a major part of the overall community economy. However, the combustibility of timber still limits its use as a building material by restrictions in building regulations in most countries, especially for higher and larger building
6、s. Several research projects on the fire behaviour of timber structures have recently been conducted world-wide aimed at providing basic data on the safe use of timber 1. Novel fire design concepts and models have been developed, based on extensive testing. The current improved knowledge in the area of fire design of timber structures, combined with technical measures, particularly sprinkler systems, and well-equipped fire services, allow the safe use of timber in a wide field of appl
