Abstract
Fire performance is the important criterion for evaluating of safety of wood structures which exposed to the standard fire condition. Endurance time and time-to-failure are used as the criteria for fire performance in many countries. Reliability analysis about wood floor system which exposed to fire was carried out as preliminary research for reliability-based design on fire. Analyses were conducted by two methods, numerical analysis method and deterministic method.. They didn't show the difference between two methods. The reliability of floor exposed to fire showed strong dependence on the coefficient of variation of member and did not be influenced by the strength or load of member.
