In the first part, a three-dimensional thermal model was employed that uses the finite element method to analyze heat transfer within timber connections exposed to the standard fire. The temperature-related properties were obtained from the literature and imported into the thermal model. A validation of the proposed thermal model was achieved by comparing predicted temperatures with experimental results. In the next phase, a reduction in the embedding strength method was adopted to estimate the load-carrying capacity of connections in fire. Based on the temperature profiles within the connection calculated by the thermal model, the reduction of the embedding strength was determined and used to calculate the load capacity at elevated temperatures. Furthermore, a formula was proposed to evaluate the fire resistance rating of timber connections and compared with the results of fire resistance tests. The parameters considered included the load level, fastener diameter and wood member thickness.
