Abstract
One of the limitation of wood as building material is its flammability. The purpose of this paper is to examine the combustion properties of the pinus rigida and castanea savita which are grown in Korea and meet the desirable characteristics for use of construction materials. The cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1) was used to determine the heat release rate (HRR) and fire smoke index, as well as CO and $CO_2$ production and smoke obscuration. The $HRR_{mean}$ of the castanea savita at $50kW/m^2$ was $160.7kW/m^2$ in comparison with $150.7kW/m^2$ for the pinus rigida. Castanea savita showed an increase of retardant properties attributed to char formation compared with that of pinus rigida. The castanea savita has high $CO_{peak}$ yield and high CO/$CO_2$ yield compared with that of pinus rigida.
