Does heat from a fire damage the structural integrity of sawn lumber, sheathing, and engineered wood (LVL beams, TJI Floor Joists)?
I am inspecting a fire damaged building and the wood does not appear to be charred, but some of it is black with soot. I have poked at it and it feels firm.
Are there any refrences or articles anyone knows of about this subject?
Thanks!!
