The University of Nottingham's wooden framed laboratory, designed to be carbon neutral, was wrecked by the blaze on 12 September. The fire resistance of timber structure is concerned by all the researchers again. Firstly, this paper summarizes characters of timber structures; Secondly, the ordinances of different countries are compared; lastly, the fire resistance of timber material is proposed.
