RESUMO

Among the potential risks involved in the use of wood in housing construction in Brazil is the lack of firesafety. Although wood is a combustible material, the required level of safety can be achieved by the appropriate care taken throughout the different stages of production. In the design stage, among other factors, safety is achieved by the correct choice of materials, the spatial conception, and details of the construction that take into account the protection of the elements and components of a wooden building. This dissertation discusses construction details aimed at protection against fire hazards for wooden buildings, which have been adopted in Australia, Canada, Japan and Switzerland, as well as an overview of firesafety measures in wooden housing in Brazil
