Abstract: In order to improve fire resistance of column in the modern wood structure houses, The fire resistance of 6 different wooden and steel column structures were tested by using the Amorim Portuguese cork board with excellent fire resistance. The findings indicated that the thicker the Amorim Portuguese cork board, the longer the fire resistance limit time of the composite structure. The fire resistance of composite structure with cork board and steel column is better than that of composite structure with wooden column. The fire resistant composite column with Amorim Portuguese cork board will not produce high temperature dripping in fire, and it can guarantee the personal property.
