Abstract:

A fireproof insulation board can be recycled, and the raw materials used in its production are very environmentally friendly, non-toxic and non-hazardous, and bring no harm to the human body and the surrounding environment. One practical application of fireproof insulation board is in an integrated composite structural fire protection system, which is a multidimensional comprehensive structural fire protection system proposed for the combined construction of buildings with different functions, such as horizontal and vertical, to ensure overall safety in the event of a building fire. The specific new technology of this new system includes an integrated structural fire protection system composed of a 3.00 h fire insulation board, which comes from the collection of textile scraps consisting of metals and buttons removed from clothes. To prove the effectiveness of this fireproof insulation board, its parameters were collected and put into FDS (FirG Dynamics Simulator, a CFD model of fluid flow during combustion developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology), the fire safety goals considering the safety of building and personnel were established, and fire scene design based on the statistics of fire data and building codes was generated to test the safety of evacuation. To ensure the reliability of simulation results, an on-site physical fire test was conducted with the recycled insulation board. The result shows that the function of recycled board optimizes the phased evacuation design plan of personnel and solves the design difficulties of expanding fire zones and long evacuation distances when used in warehouses. Through the innovative design of the roof opening rate set at 30% and a hole spacing of 60 m, this underground fireproof insulation board is guaranteed to possess natural smoke exhaust conditions and can be used to improve public safety areas.

Abstract:

To provide references for the fire prevention design of steel–concrete–steel immersed tube tunnels, four types of test conditions—no fire protection, fireproof coating insulation, single-layer seam fireproof boards, and double-layer seam fireproof boards—were carried out using partial full-size structural test members. Additionally, the thermal insulation effects of various fireproofing technology solutions were contrasted and analyzed. Combined with the numerical simulation analysis, the temperature distribution law inside the tube structure under various fireproofing measures and the temperature rise law of measuring points at different depths were studied, and the protective effect of the fireproof layers on the tube structure under high fire temperature was demonstrated. The results of the numerical simulation and the experimental data agree well. The results show that adding fireproof layers can significantly lower both the steel shell’s surface temperature and the depth of fire impact. Without fire protection, the surface temperature of the bottom steel shell exceeds 300 °C at 69 s, and the member bursts. The fireproof coatings are cracked and flaking and cannot meet the fire resistance limits. Both single-seam and double-seam schemes of calcium silicate boards can meet the fire resistance limit requirements and the latter has a better heat insulation effect.

Abstract:

To prevent improper design and construction of fire compartments through-penetration in buildings, and in order to reinforce public building safety management, all beams, pillars, ceilings, floors, doors, walls, and interior decorative materials must have fireproof properties. Moreover, cable conduits, water pipes, and air ducts located in through-penetration sites within buildings should be properly designed to block the spread of smoke and hot air, thus, reducing losses due to fire disasters. This study used common firestop materials, such as firestop sheets, mineral wool, and two-pack fire barrier foam to conduct 10-min surface burning tests on individual substrates. The flame spread distance and smoke per minute were measured and recorded in order to calculate the Flame Spread Index (FSI) and Smoke Developed Index (SDI). The results showed that all three firestop materials meet with the ASTM E84 Class A.

Abstract:

Plaster is a construction material widely used for the production of prefabricated parts in building construction due to its high capacity for hygrothermal regulation, its good mechanical performance, and its fireproof nature, among other factors. Its historical use has been linked to ornamental elements, although more recent research is oriented towards the industrialisation of plaster composites and the design of prefabricated parts for false ceilings and interior partitions. In this work, the behaviour against water of four new plaster-based composite materials is studied, using additions of two types of super absorbent polymers (sodium polyacrylate and potassium polyacrylate) and a lightening material (vermiculite) in their manufacturing process. In addition, the transmission of water vapour through the samples was studied together with the water absorption capacity of the samples in order to check the suitability of the use of plaster-based materials exposed to these environments. The results of this study show that composites with the addition of super absorbent polymers as well as vermiculite significantly improve their water performance compared to traditional materials up to 7.3% water absorption with a minimal (13%) reduction in mechanical strength compared to current materials with similar additions. In this sense, a plaster material is obtained with wide possibilities of application in the construction sector that favours the development of sustainable and quality buildings, in line with Goal 9 for Sustainable Development included in the 2030 Agenda.

Abstract:

Exterior insulation is currently promoting a building energy-saving insulation technology. Compared with internal insulation, it is a reasonable technique and has its obvious advantages. However, in the insulation material, thermal insulation effect is better, fireproof performance is often worse. Through analyzing several external wall insulation materials’ insulation and fireproof performance, the article recommends a kind of external wall thermal insulation material with good insulation and fireproof performance, to meet the construction needs.

Fire load exists in the building, and it is generally not the origin of fire occurred and spread, so attention has not been beloved paid although the fire size is closely related with it. It plays an important role in performance-based fireproof design, but the abroad data is used always, then which is not in accordance to the situation of our country. The article is based on national and international standards, and calculated the fire load theoretical maximum of the building to protect the building fire safety and can be referred by performance-based fireproof designer, so we can control the fire dangerous of the building, and then grasp the critical moment while the fire happened.

Abstract:

Abstract While scholars have studied both the visual and material culture of slavery and the history of efforts to design cities to avert fire, the two topics have not often overlapped. In the southern United States during the antebellum period, fire was a “weapon of the weak,” and architects devised instruments for fire deterrence—or at least fire suppression—in response to perceived threats. In Building Fears of Fire: Architecture and the Suppression of Black Insurrection in the U.S. Antebellum South, Jonah Rowen brings these two lines of inquiry together to ask: Where do architectural aesthetics convey traces of enslavementŒ If architects designed buildings for security, and enslaved people constituted internal threats, how did the apprehensions of white southerners appear in the built objects and environments that constituted the cityŒ Rowen analyzes Robert Mills’s Fireproof Building in Charleston, South Carolina (1822–26) in the context of the abortive 1822 uprising of Black people allegedly planned by Denmark Vesey, demonstrating how architecture emerged as a means of protecting against arson. Artifacts such as the Fireproof Building reveal the traces of a society in constant fear of the destructive impact of insurrection.

Abstract:

To promote and criterionize the application of ultra-thin the fireproof coating s to building structures, four concrete-filled square steel tubular (CFSST) pillars as well as two square steel tubes, each protected along with ultra-thin the fireproof coating , were subjected to full-scale fire tests to investigate their fireproof level on the basis of the ISO 834 criterion time�degrees curve. Test results revealed not only the temperature variation characteristics of specimens suffered from inconsistent fire exposure, but also effects of the steel ratio of the test specimen and the number of fire-exposed sides on the fire-refractory level of the test specimen. Test results demonstrated that when protected with an ultra-thin the fireproof coating , the heating rate of the specimens was considerably lower than that of the test furnace, suggesting that the ultra-thin the fireproof coating exhibits good thermal insulation performance. The test results were compared with China�s current criterions for the fire-refractory level of square steel tubes and CFSST pillars, indicating that the criterions would lead to a relatively conservative fire-safe design for four-side fire exposure.

Abstract:

Cases of fire with highly flammable, combustible liquids and combustible gases with high potential heat emission at oil and gas facilities are assumed to develop as a hydrocarbon fire, which is characterized by the temperature rising rapidly up to 1093 ± 56 °C within five minutes from the test start and staying within the same range throughout the test, as well as by overpressure being generated. Although various fireproof coating systems are commonly used to protect steel structures from high temperatures, a combination of fire protection and cryogenic spillage protection, i.e., protection from liquefied natural gas (LNG), is rather an international practice novelty regulated by standards ISO 20088. Thanks to their outstanding features, i.e., ability to sustain chemical and climatic impact, these epoxy-based materials are able to ensure positive fireproof performance for steel structures in the case of potential cryogenic impact. The article discusses tests on steel structures coated with epoxy fireproof compounds, specifically PREGRAD-EP, OGRAX-SKE and Chartek 2218. The test records show the time from the start of cryogenic exposure to the said sample reaching the limit state, as well as the time from the start of heat impact to the sample reaching the limit state in case of hydrocarbon fire temperature.

Abstract:

Introduction. The international practice of passive fire protection design, as well as some manufactures of fireproofing products recommend to apply fire proofing substances not only to the main element, whose fire resistance limit is standardized, but also to the elements that do not fall under any fire resistance standards. Various support brackets, pipeline supports (hereinafter — PS), etc. can serve as examples. They are not considered as bearing elements according to SP (Construction Regulations) 2.13130.2020, although they are connected to the structures that have fireproofing applied. It is recommended to apply fireproofing substances to such PS within the range of, at least, 450 mm from the point of attachment to the fireproof structure when the area of the PS cross section exceeds 3,000 mm2. No “supplementary” fireproofing is required by the Russian design and fire protection regulations.The subject of research. A change in the fire resistance limit of steel i-girders, caused by the PS heating, depends on the area of the PS cross section and the location of the point of its attachment.The goal. The goal of the research is to analyze the effect, produced by the area of the cross section and the point of attachment, on the fire resistance limit of fireproof steel i-girders in the course of heating.Materials and methods. ANSYS Workbench 2020 R2 (student version) was applied to perform the numerical simulation.Results. The simulation has shown that the PS, having no fireproofing, influences the fire resistance limit of fireproof structures.Conclusions. Currently available methods of analysis of the fire resistance of steel structures take no account of the fire resistance limit reduction, caused by the heating of the PS that has no fireproofing. The numerical simulation has shown that the fire proofing design must take account of the potential reduction in the fire resistance limit of fireproof structures, exposed to the heated PS that has no fire proofing. The further verification of the effect, produced by the PS, that has no fireproofing, on the time to the limit state of a fireproof steel i-girder requires fire tests and supplementary investigations to evaluate the influence of the PS on the heating of vertical fireproof constructions, including the case of the hydrocarbon fire mode.

Abstract:

Most of the buildings for high-tech plants are fireproof and the process equipment in the clean room is in compliance with high-standard fire prevention evaluation regulations such as National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA), Factory Mutual (FM),and Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI). However, fire management is usually neglected though fire protection higher than domestic fire control regulations is applied. Fireproof and smoke-proof design of the original buildings can be damaged due to expansion of production facilities, causing a potential danger of a fire. Cases of fires in domestic semiconductor manufacturing factories were explored in this research and claim settlements provided by MSIG Mingtai InsuranceCo.,Ltd., Taiwan to high-tech plants were analyzed for determination of the quantified weights used by the insurance companies when evaluating fire risks of a building. The fire safety badge promoted by Architecture and Building Research Institute, and Ministry of the Interior was also discussed for reference of fire safety assessments of high-tech factory buildings in the future.

Abstract:

As the rapid development of warship equipment automation, warship cabin fire protection design in many developed countries has transformed from the prescription approach to Performance-based Fire Protection Design (PFPD). Since the warship is moving offshore structures, its PFPD can fully learn from building PFPD on land. This paper firstly outlined the concepts and methods of building PFPD. Through comparing the similarities and differences of structure and fire-fighting capacity both on warships and in building, the warship cabin PFPD roadmap was proposed. From the perspectives of warship structure and personnel protection, warship PFPD parameters were proposed. Applied field simulation model into quantitative and numerical analysis of the fire compartments and adjacent ones to determine the cabins not meeting the demands of PFPD parameters. According to the analysis, take active or passive optimization fire protection measures making these compartments optimized design to meet structure fireproof parameters, ultimately achieve the fire protection purpose.

Abstract:

Fireproof coatings at the time of operation of the building structure is a separate and complex task, covering both the stages of the process protection from moisture, and subsequent fire protection formed during the swelling of the coating. They have been proven to create a layer of material on the surface that prevents moisture from penetrating the wood when the destruction of the coating begins. This makes it possible to determine the effect of flame retardants and the properties of the protective compositions on the process of slowing down the rate of water absorption. The process of moisture transfer by flame retardant coating in the presence of a polymeric shell is simulated, the diffusion and mass transfer dependences are obtained, and the diffusion coefficient is determined, which is 7.08·10-12 m2/s, which allow to obtain a change in the dynamics of moisture upon washing out of the flame retardant. The results of determining the weight loss of the coating sample during exposure to water indicate the ambiguous effect of the nature of the leaching agent. In particular, this implies the availability of data sufficient for qualitatively conducting the process of inhibition of moisture diffusion and detection on its basis of the moment from which the fall of the coating efficiency begins. Features of slowing down the process of moving the moisture to the material that is treated with flame retardant, are in several aspects. Namely, the use of water-insoluble flame retardants and other components, as well as polymer binder, which are characterized by the formation of polymer shell on the surface of the wood.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to develop a multivariate model that will be applicable to the Nigeria construction industry. Design/methodology/approach – A self-administered questionnaire survey was used to source information on project scope factors and qualitative factors considered in the study. Principal component regression was used for data analysis and model development, using SPSS 16.0 for windows, while T-test was used for model testing and validation. Findings – The study found that delay in progress payment by owner, lateness in revising and approving design document by owner, delay in delivering the site to the contractor by the owner, change order by owner during construction, complexity of project design, poor site management and supervision by contractors, and rain effect on construction activities are qualitative/non-project scope factors with good predictive abilities. Research limitations/implications – Cost, gross floor area and number of floors were the only quantitative/project scope factors considered in the study. The developed models therefore do not account for any variation in duration which may arise from other project scope factors, such as location, procurement route and type of contract. Originality/value – The qualitative factors which emerged as predictors in the derived models increased the accuracy of the models. The models developed therefore serve as useful construction time prediction tools for both consultancy firms and contractor organizations in the Nigerian construction industry.

Abstract:

In this paper, new prefabricated cold-formed light-gauge steel stud wall panels sheathed with fireproof phenolic boards, which are fabricated by connecting the steel studs and the boards by using structural silicone sealant, was proposed. The proposed prefabricated wall has a good fireproof performance and can be manufactured rapidly in a factory. Full-scale tests on the mechanical properties of the prefabricated wall system, consisting of the prefabricated wall and the connection between the wall and the surrounding steel structure under out-of-plane loading, were performed. A total of six specimens were tested considering the effects of the arrangement of the cold-formed light-gauge steel studs, the shape and thickness of the steel connector for jointing the prefabricated wall panel and the surrounding steel structure, and the number of self-tapping screws connecting the surrounding structure. The results show that the out-of-plane stiffness of the prefabricated wall system in the elastic stress state under out-of-plane loading can be increased by increasing the number of self-tapping screws, increasing the thickness of the steel connector, or adopting the symmetrical arrangement of the light-gauge steel studs. The out-of-plane stiffness of the prefabricated wall system and the stiffness contribution of a single special-shaped steel connector can both be increased by increasing the number of special-shaped steel connectors. Furthermore, the special-shaped steel connector is more beneficial to a greater out-of-plane stiffness than the L-shaped steel connector. In addition, the theoretical calculation methods for deflection of the proposed prefabricated wall and flexural stress of the CFS C-channel stud considering the fireproof phenolic board sheathing effect under elastic state were proposed. The predicted results using the proposed method are compared with test results and the predicted results by using other methods. It was found that the predicted results by using the proposed method agreed better with the test results compared with the predicted results using the transformed-section method or the reduced stiffness method, which demonstrates the acceptability and accuracy of the proposed mothed for calculating deflection of the proposed prefabricated wall and flexural stress of the CFS C-channel stud.

Abstract:

The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the design solution of the building of a preschool educational establishment in the city of Guastalla (Italy) with the aim of the possibility of adapting such a project to the conditions of Russian cities. A set of basic requirements for preschool buildings according to Russian building codes and rules is presented. They are grouped into four main groups: compliance with sanitary- hygienic and psychological requirements, safety, durability, cost-effectiveness, good appearance. A detailed analysis of the structural design of buildings based on a glued laminated frame with curved sections is presented from an environmental point of view. The conclusion is made about the inadmissibility of the use of glued laminated frames as a structural element of the preschool buildings. It is emphasized that the preschool building must in a special way satisfy the physiological needs of a small person. If this requirement is not met, no other advantages of the building will make it suitable for a comfortable and safe stay of children. The paper also presents a comparison of the development trends in the architecture of modern preschool buildings in the Russian and foreign practice of design and construction.

Abstract:

The amount of construction waste (CW) at building sites is highly variable, for instance the CW generation index ranges between 50-300 dm3 per square meters of gross floor area. Today there is still a lack of knowledge about variables (building design, construction process, construction technologies, etc.) affecting the CW generation. The objective of this paper is to analyse the influence of multi-storey building design and some construction processes on the CW generation indexes. The CW generation was analysed for two groups of buildings with two different construction processes; one with plumbing and electric services installed inside the masonry element and the other with plumbing and electric services installed onto the masonry element and covered with water-resistant drywall system (reducing the construction waste generation). The gross floor area directly affects the amount of executed construction works in a building site. Since the most important works (concrete, masonry and cladding) for CW generation is related to gross floor area, gross floor of buildings is also directly related to CW generation. For buildings with gross area varying from 20,000 to 80,000 m2, there is a reduction of approximately 18% of construction waste only changing the plumbing and electric services installation system, from embedded in the masonry element to installed onto the masonry element and covered with water-resistant drywall system.

Abstract:

Aluminum-plastic composite panel is a kind of new type energy-saving and environmental-friendly curtain wall decorative material, and is widely used in building exterior wall, curtain wall board, old building reconstruction and renovation and other projects. With the development and improvement of production and application technology, the performance and functions of aluminum-plastic composite panel products have been optimized continuously; especially at present, all countries in the world have more and more strict requirements on fire safety, and the fire safety standards of buildings also have been improved continuously. In this context, all the manufacturing enterprises have been actively developing new techniques to produce new type aluminum-plastic composite panels, and have significantly improved the fireproof and flame-retardant properties of the products on the basis of ensuring all the performance levels of the products being acceptable. This paper proposes optimal design suggestions via detection analysis on three groups of aluminum-plastic composite panel samples, and is of important practical significance to the research and development of the aluminum-plastic composite panel with low-combustion-heat and flame-retardant core material.

Abstract:

The problems of the fire safety of oil and gas facilities are particularly relevant due to the increasing complexity of technological processes and production. Experimental studies of steel structures with three different types of plasters are presented to determine the time taken to reach the critical temperature and loss of bearing capacity (R) of the sample, as a result of reaching a rate of deformation growth of more than 10 mm/min and the appearance of the ultimate vertical deformation. The simulation of the heating of steel structures showed a good correlation with the results of the experiment. The consumption of the plaster composition for the steel column was predicted, which allowed a 38% reduction in the consumption of fireproofing. It was found that to obtain the required fire resistance limit, it is necessary to consider the fire regime and apply plaster compositions with a thickness of 30–35 mm, depending on their thermal characteristics. The dependence of thermal conductivity and temperature on density is obtained, showing that the use of plaster compositions with a density of 200 to 600 kg/m3 is optimal to ensure a higher fire resistance limit. It is shown that the values of thermal conductivity of plaster compositions at 1000 °C are higher by 8–10% if the structure is exposed to a hydrocarbon fire regime. It is shown that the values of the heat capacity of plaster compositions at 1000 °C are higher by 10–15% if the structure is exposed to a standard fire regime.

Abstract:

The objective of this article is to improve building productivity, evolving from traditional construction to industrial construction. The methodology used here consists of analysing the use of materials, the construction design, the design of the spatial distribution programme, the use of auxiliary means and resources and the application of lean tools in construction. The results achieved here include a complete building system that integrates the design, project and execution, wherein the construction process is improved and inconsistencies in the final project are reduced. With the application of an industrial manufacturing methodology, the productivity in construction is improved, reducing costs, materials, execution times and waste. These productivity improvements result in construction being more sustainable. As a conclusion of the previous analysis, the elements that must be integrated into a complete building project and the need to incorporate industrial manufacturing into construction processes in order to achieve sustainable architecture are established.

Abstract:

This paper considers the barriers to BIM adoption and demonstrates they are symptoms of existing problems in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) industry. When current external pressures are considered, a varied and complex set of problems emerge that require a significant paradigm change if they are to be resolved sustainably. It is argued that Building Information Modelling (BIM) does not represent a paradigm change on its own and the concept of the design ecology is presented as a framework within which BIM can act as a catalyst for change. Specific affordances of this model are presented in terms of responding to the challenges presented in the Low Carbon Construction report (Innovation and Growth Team, 2010) and to the general characteristics of the original problems identified. Examples are presented to demonstrate that this is already emerging in practice and some suggested areas of further investigation are suggested.
