Task 2 To be completed by each student individually LO2 Understand the structural behaviour of common structural materials 2.1 Structural behaviour: relationship between behaviour and use; forms of loading; inherent properties of structural materials (timber, steel, reinforced concrete); 2.2 Behaviour of structural materials when formed into structural members eg beams, columns, frames, pads, bases, studs, steel brackets. Task 2a Explain the difference between a material which will support combustion (flammable) and a material that resists fire. Illustrate this by comparing the behaviour of a structural supporting column made of either Steel, Reinforced Concrete or Laminated timber in a fire. Task 2b (i) Briefly explain why fire doors inside a building are often made of wood. (ii) Research textbooks or the internet to find out the thickness of a “30 minute” fire door and show how this can be worked out mathematically Task 2c What happens to each of these three materials (steel, reinforced concrete and laminated timber) when they are exposed to weather especially to…show more content…
