Osvaldová Makovická, Linda, 1980- Burning rate of selected hardwood tree species / Linda Makovická Osvaldová, Javier-Ramón Sotomayor Castellanos. -- Tab. -- Lit. - The paper is aimed at determining the fire-technical properties of the selected central European hardwood tree species: black locust, European white birch, European beech, sessile oak and Norway maple. The measurements will be mentioned in a database of tree species. The reactions of the tree species were monitored using the following evaluation criteria: (mass) burning rate, time when the peak value was achieved and the ratio of the two values. The evaluation criteria reflected the behavior of the material when exposed to radiation or flame source and the two combined, or simultaneous exposure to both flame and radiant heat source according to the selected mode of the thermal load. The results presented in the paper showed the effect of the source itself, as well as the effect of the given tree species on the evaluation criteria. The experiment results proved that, when exposed to a radiant heat source, the shape of the curves was different for all the given tree species. Oak and locust tree showed high resistance to ignition and burning. In the case of flame and combined heat source, where the size of the peak in the first few seconds of the experiment is of the greatest importance, the shape of the curves differed. In this case, locust and oak tree reached positive values.
