The fire behaviour of light-weight material used in structural applications is regarded as the main challenge to be solved for mass transportation. The task is to perform realistic experiments, including a mechanical test scenario under fully developed fires, to improve the material's reliability in structural applications. Our approach utilises an intermediate-scale test set-up (specimen size 500 × 500 mm) to apply realistic compressive loads and fully developed fires directly to one side of a carbon-fibre-reinforced sandwich composite. Three different intumescent coatings were applied to sandwich structures and compared to a bench-scale study. The results emphasise intumescent coatings as a promising method to sustain fire resistance, multiplying the time to failure. Nevertheless, the realistic intermediate-scale test using severe direct flame application underlines the extremely short failure times when the actual composite components are tested without any additional insulation.
Advanced Modelling
(2019)
The EQUFIRE project aims to study the post-earthquake fire Performance of steel frame structures and is part of the Transnational Access activities of the SERA project (www.sera-eu.org) at the ELSA Reaction Wall of the European Commission - Joint Research Centre. As it has happened in many historical occasions, after an earthquake, earthquakeinduced rupture of gas piping, failure of electrical systems, etc. may trigger fire. The structural fire performance can deteriorate because the fire acts on a previously damaged structure. In addition, the earthquake may have damaged fire protection elements and the fire can spread more rapidly if compartmentation walls have failed. This is particularly relevant for steel structures as the high thermal conductivity of elements with small thickness entails quick temperature rise with consequent fast loss of strength and stiffness.
EQUFIRE studied a four-storey three-bay steel frame with concentric bracings in the central bay. The structure was designed for reference peak ground acceleration equal to 0.186g, soil type B and type 1 elastic response spectrum according to Eurocode 8. Tests were performed at the ELSA Reaction Wall and at the furnace of the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM).
The experimental activities at the ELSA Reaction Wall comprise pseudo-dynamic tests on a full-scale specimen of the first storey of the building, while the upper three storeys are numerically simulated. The aim is to study the response of the structure and fire protection elements, including their interaction, under the design earthquake and for different configurations: bare frame without fire protection, specimen with three fire protection solutions (conventional and seismic-resistant boards, and vermiculite sprayed coating) applied on the bracing and one column, and with conventional and seismic-resistant fire barrier walls built in the two external bays of the specimen. The testing programme at BAM included fire tests of five columns (two specimens without fire protection elements and three specimens with the types of fire protection mentioned above). Before the fire test, each column was subjected to a horizontal and vertical displacement history resulting from the seismic action. During the fire tests, the effect of the surrounding structure was simulated by limiting the axial thermal expansion.
The experimental results will serve to study the response of structural and non-structural components to fire following earthquake scenarios, with a view to improving existing design guidelines and future standards.
A systematic approach was used to investigate the weathering-induced degradation of a common water–based intumescent coating. In this study, the coatings are intended for humid indoor applications on steel substrates. The coating contains ammonium polyphosphate, pentaerythritol, melamine, and polyvinyl acetate. By replacing each ingredient with a less water-soluble substance, the most vulnerable substances, polyvinyl acetate and pentaerythritol, were identified. Furthermore, the weathering resistance of the system was improved by exchanging the ingredients. The coatings were stressed by artificial weathering tests and evaluated by fire tests. Thermogravimetry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were used to study the thermal decomposition. This study lays the foundation for the development of a new generation of water-based intumescent coatings.
Originally introduced in the field of earthquake engineering hybrid testing, i.e. the simultaneous combined application of numerical simulation techniques and execution of experiments, is nowadays used in different areas of experimental analysis. The focus of this paper is on the presentation of the so-called substructuring method as a hybrid method in fire engineering. Motivation are EU standards for fire resistance tests of columns or beams. According to these codes building elements are considered as stand-alone elements whereas in real fires each building element interacts with its adjacent elements. Therefore, to conduct a fire test in a more realistic fashion, the concept of hybrid substructuring as a special experimental technique has been adopted to fire engineering. Due to this concept the entire building, which is exposed to a real fire, is decomposed into two parts. One part is represented by the building element under test in a special furnace, whereas the remaining building environment is simulated by a model, based on the equations of thermomechanics. The paper addresses the historical development of the substructuring method in fire engineering supplemented by presentation of the results of realized fire resistance tests in substructuring mode on different types of specimens.
In this paper, a nonlinear three-dimensional finite element (FE) model was developed and validated to study the effect of seismic damage location on the response of concrete filled tube (CFT) columns at fire after earthquakes. Three analyses were conducted consecutively in the modelling, namely, cyclic, thermal and structural. Results of the cyclic loading analysis comprising residual deformations were applied as the Initial condition to the thermal-stress model, replicating the seismic performance of column.
Following, a nonlinear sequentially coupled-thermal stress Analysis was carried out to investigate the fire response of CFT columns after the seismic event. Three damage scenarios were contemplated, considering any possible potential damages that could be generated by the earthquake loading on CFT columns. The accuracy of the proposed FE model was examined by comparing the numerical results with that of available tests on fire and cyclic loading. By means of the validated model, the performance of damaged CFT columns was then investigated under fire after earthquakes. The level of damage was assumed as a high damage level, presuming that the column reached 50% of ist lateral resistance while still maintaining its overall stability after the earthquake. The results were presented broadly, including the axial deformation history as well as the fire resistance time for CFT columns. To have a comprehensive insight on the influence of damage location in columns, the fire response of damaged specimens was compared with that of an intact one.
In this study, a nonlinear three-dimensional finite element (FE) model was developed and validated to investigate the response of concrete filled tube (CFT) columns subjected to post-earthquake fires. Three steps were considered successively in the modelling, namely, cyclic, thermal and structural analyses. Outputs from the cyclic loading including residual deformationswere imposed as an initial condition to the thermal-stress model, imitating the seismic response of the column. Subsequently, a nonlinear sequentially thermal-stress analysis was conducted to simulate the fire response of column after the earthquake. The proposed FE model was validated by comparing the simulation resultswith the observations of full-scale fire and cyclic tests available in the literature.
The validated numericalmodelwas then used to study the behavior of CFT columns under the combined action of earthquake and fire as a multi-hazard event. Three probable seismic damage scenarios were considered in the column, namely, middle length, bottom and top end region damages. The level of damage was assumed as a high damage level, presuming that the column reached 50% of its lateral resistance while still maintaining ist overall stability after the earthquake. The results showed that the top and bottom end region damages have not significantly influence the fire response of the damaged column. Besides, the column with the middle span damage performed a lesser fire resistance time owing to the coincidence of damage location to that of onset of global buckling.
In klassischen Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen wird die Tragfähigkeit eines einzelnen Tragwerkselementes (z. B. Stütze) unter Feuereinwirkung bestimmt. In realen Brandsituationen interagieren jedoch brandbeanspruchte Bauteile eines Gebäudes immer mit dem angrenzenden Tragwerk. Für eine genauere Bewertung der Tragfähigkeit werden deshalb spezielle experimentelle Methoden benötigt, die eine Interaktion zwischen geprüftem Bauteil und Tragwerk in Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen berücksichtigen.
Zur Umsetzung dieses Anspruchs konnte in Kooperation mit dem Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, Italien, die bereits im Erdbebeningenieurwesen eingesetzte Substrukturmethode erfolgreich zur innovativen Nutzung des Stützenprüfofens der BAM portiert werden. Nach dieser Methode wird das gesamte Gebäude in zwei Teile zerlegt: Ein Teil entspricht dem zu prüfenden Bauteil, während der Rest des Gebäudes online durch ein analytisches oder numerisches Modell simuliert wird.
Im Vortrag werden entsprechende Ergebnisse zahlreicher Experimente neben Erläuterungen zu Hard- und Software präsentiert. Abschließend werden weitere Forschungsaktivitäten des Fachbereiches Brandingenieurwesen vorgestellt.
High-throughput fire tests and weathering-induced degradation behaviour of intumescent coatings
(2018)
In this work, the weathering-induced degradation of intumescent coatings was investigated by a systematic and comprehensive approach. A mechanism is revealed that is proposed to be responsible for the loss of function of intumescent coatings induced by weathering.
First, the thermal decomposition of artificially weathered intumescent coatings was examined. To get a better understanding of the weathering and ageing phenomena, the degradation behaviour of the single ingredients during the weathering process was investigated, as well as their chemical and physical interactions. For the systematic approach, the materials that are essential for intumescence (ammonium polyphosphate, pentaerythritol, titanium dioxide, melamine and the binder) are treated with moisture, elevated temperature and UV radiation.
Thermogravimetry (TG) and IR spectroscopy were used to compare the initial samples with their different grades of weathering. We demonstrate that ammonium polyphosphate, melamine and the binder are mainly responsible for the ageing process. Further, it was demonstrated that TG and IR spectroscopy are suitable measuring methods to detect the effects of weathering on intumescent coatings.
Finally, a small-scale fire test procedure is introduced. Based on the reduction of the sample size, up to 50 samples can be tested in a single fire test. The results of this fire test have the same quality as the results from standard intermediate fire tests corresponding to DIN 4102-8.
