Several fires involving external thermal insulating (ETIC) systems with polystyrene in Germany started an extensive discussion about fire safety of such systems. The Frankfurt fire service started to collect reports about real fire cases which involved ETICS with polystyrene two years ago. This collection shows that especially fires, which started in front of the buildings led to more severe fires of the facades than fires inside the buildings. In several fires the ignition sources were burning waste containers. Three of the real cases are discussed in more detail: a serious fire in Frankfurt on a building site and two fires of apartment buildings, which developed quite differently. Additionally the plastic waste containers, which started several fires are investigated regarding ignitability and heat release rates. The investigation shows that plastic waste containers are very effective as ignition source and that the usual placement directly in front of combustible facades can be a problem for fire safety. Moving these containers and unintentional contact with the facade can lead to damage of the facade coating. These damages were investigated qualitatively and quantitative on a wide collection of buildings. After classifying the damage intermediate scale tests were performed in a modified Single Burning Item (SBI) Test. The damage of the coating was varied as well as the power of the sand bed burner of the SBI apparatus. The damage significantly influenced the fire development on the specimen. In some tests the damaged rendering of the ETIC system collapsed and resulted in a sudden fire growth: after the collapse of the rendering the whole specimen was suddenly on fire. Several effects, which could be seen in the intermediate scale tests correspond to observations which were made in the real cases. As a consequence of the investigations challenges and possible measures to enhance fire safety of ETIC systems are discussed.
Gegenstand des Aufsatzes ist die experimentelle Untersuchung der Auswirkungen verschiedener Zündquellen sowie der Systembeschaffenheit auf das Brandverhalten EPS-basierter Wärmedämm-Verbundsysteme (WDVS). Dazu wurden Brände ausgewertet, die mit EPS-basierten WDVS in Verbindung stehen. Ergebnis dieser Auswertung war, dass nicht wie bisher angenommen der Brand in dem Gebäude (z. B. der Wohnungsbrand), sondern vielmehr der Brand außerhalb des Gebäudes, insbesondere der des Abfallbehälters, das häufigste und kritischste Brandszenario für EPS-basierte WDVS darstellt. Daraufhin wurden an der BAM Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung Brandversuche in der Single Burning Item-Prüfeinrichtung (SBI) an nicht intakten EPS-basierten WDVS-Ausschnitten durchgeführt. Mit zunehmender Beschädigungsgröße und -tiefe stieg die vom System freigesetzte Wärmefreisetzungsrate an. Zusätzlich werden Brandversuche eines Sockelbrandszenarios mit einer abfallbehälteräquivalenten Brandlast vorgestellt. Aus den Brandversuchen werden Empfehlungen zur Verbesserung der Systemsicherheit abgeleitet.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The influence of different ignition sources and conditions of the systems on the fire behaviour of external thermal insulating systems (ETICS) have been investigated experimentally. As a basis of the investigations real cases with EPS based ETICS have been analysed. The analysis showed that the fire in front of the building is the most common and critical fire scenario for these systems. These fires are often caused by waste containers. This result contradicts the former common assumption that the fire inside the building is the most critical fire scenario for ETICS. Intermediate scale experiments in the Single Burning Item (SBI) test apparatus have been performed at BAM with ETICS specimens. The render of the systems was partially damaged. The measured heat release rate of the specimens increased significantly with size and depths of the damages. Additionally results of large scale experiments with a waste container equivalent ignition source are presented and recommendations to enhance fire safety of these systems are given.
Bei einzelnen Objekten, die unter Laborbedingungen verbrennen, konnte schon seit längerer Zeit ein großer Unterschied zwischen älteren und neuen Möbeln hinsichtlich der Entflammbarkeit und der Rauchentwicklung sowie der Rauchgaszusammensetzung festgestellt werden [1, 2]. In einer Serie von Großversuchen im Rahmen des vom BMBF geförderten Forschungsvorhabens TIBRO wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit der Feuerwehr Frankfurt in vier Großversuchen die Brand- und Rauchentwicklung in einem Wohnzimmer und einem angrenzenden Zimmer untersucht. Es wurden ältere Möbel und moderne Möbel sowie unterschiedliche Belüftungsbedingungen untersucht. Alle vier Brände gingen von einem Sessel aus, der mit einem Papierkissen entzündet wurde. Es wurden jeweils im Brandraum und im Nachbarraum Temperaturen gemessen sowie die zeitlich veränderliche Rauchgaszusammensetzung in zwei unterschiedlichen Raumhöhen in der Zimmermitte des Nachbarraums bestimmt [3].
Der Einfluss der in der Wohnung vorhandenen Materialien sowie der Einfluss der Belüftung auf die Brandentwicklung wurden untersucht. Sowohl die Art der Materialien als auch die Belüftung beeinflussen die Brandentwicklung signifikant. Statistiken und die Erfahrung der Feuerwehren zeigen, dass für Personen, die sich im Brandentstehungsraum befinden, die Hilfe der Feuerwehr in den meisten Fällen zu spät kommt. Für den Nachbarraum können anhand der Großversuche Abschätzungen über den Zeitgewinn für Personen, die sich dort befinden, abgeleitet werden.
About 80 % of all fire fatalities in Germany occur in fires in homes1. UK statistics show that living and bed room fires are more often responsible for fatalities than kitchen fires although kitchen fires occur much more often2. It has been known for some time that modern materials tend to burn differently from older materials and it has been acknowledged that the amount of combustible plastics in homes has increased significantly over the last decades3-7. To investigate the influence of modern furniture and ventilation conditions of fires in homes a series of four large scale tests in two living rooms with adjacent rooms was performed by BAM and the Frankfurt fire service8. Two living rooms, one with older furniture and one with modern furniture were tested twice each. Each test started with the ignition of a paper cushion on an upholstered chair. The influence of modern materials on the fire development was investigated as well as the influence of the ventilation on the fire development. Two tests with closed windows and two tests with open windows were performed. Temperatures were measured in the living rooms and the adjacent rooms, gas compositions were measured in the adjacent rooms and videos were taken in all rooms. The ventilation as well as the different materials influenced the fire development regarding temperatures in the rooms and smoke production and composition significantly. The fire in the living room with modern furniture developed faster than the same setting with older furniture. More ventilation (open window) led to higher temperatures in the rooms and faster fire development as well. Smoke gas composition was measured in the adjacent rooms to assess the positive effect for a person being in the adjacent room and not in the room of fire origin. In all settings an upholstered chair was the first burning item. The modern upholstered chair was investigated in three pre-experiments under different conditions to enhance the understanding of the living room fires. The measured mass losses and derived mass loss rates have been used for numerical modelling of the pre-experiments.
