Calculations on the example of a steel column showed that with the combined effect of an explosion that causes deformation and subsequent fire, even without damaging the fire-retardant coat, there is a significant decrease in the fire resistance of the structure due to a decrease in the critical temperature. It is shown that, on the basis of the methodology proposed in this work, for hazardous operations industrial facilities, it is possible to predict the stability of steel columns in crash explosions followed by fire, as well as to recommend the values ​​of workloads and parameters of fire-retardant coats providing the necessary stability. It is also shown that when calculating the fire resistance limit of a steel structure with intumescent fire-retardant coat, it is necessary to take into account the proper heating time of steel structures until they lose strength.

In the article, experimental fire tests on establishing maximum fire resistance of the steel columns with fire-retardant mineral wool covering are analyzed. The scientific novelty of this study are the new method developed for manufacturing and shaping samples of the steel columns with fire-retardant mineral wool covering, and the method developed for conducting fire tests on establishing patterns of dependence of the moment when steel columns with the fire-retardant cladding lose their bearing capacity down to the limit. The subject of the study was an influence of design parameters of the fire-retardant cladding on the results of the estimated fire resistance of the steel columns under the influence of the standard fire temperature mode. The main task of the research described in this article was to determine a moment of the peak critical temperature of fire-retardant steel structure depending on the thickness of the mineral wool covering. The test results of samples of steel columns with different thickness of fire-retardant cladding based on mineral wool covering are also described in the article; the tests were carried out in accordance with the developed methodology of experimental studies. The repeatability of the time indicators of the bearing capacity loss by the tested samples of steel columns with fire-retardant cladding depending on the duration of the sample exposure to the action of the fire standard temperature is shown. The obtained research results will allow to create a mathematical model for predicting a dependence of the moment when a steel structure reaches its critical temperature depending on the thickness of the fire-retardant cladding. The constructed mathematical model can be considered as a scientific basis for the creation of new engineering methods of calculation for assessing fire resistance of the steel structures with fire-retardant mineral wool covering. These engineering and calculation methods allow improving the regulatory acts for designing of the fire-resistant steel structures.

Abstract. The results of the development of fire-retardant substances based on domestic materials to increase the fire resistance of fire-retardant steel structures are presented. New compositions of fire-retardant substances on the basis of domestic materials capable of swelling are developed. A series of experimental studies to determine the heating temperature of fire-resistant steel structures. For this purpose, samples of reduced size in the form of a steel plate with a flame retardant applied to the heating surface were used. Fire tests of fire-retardant steel plates coated with the developed fire-retardant substance forming a coating on the protected surface, in the conditions of their tests on the standard temperature of the fire using the installation to determine the fire-retardant ability of fire-retardant coatings. The results of experimental determination of temperature from an unheated surface of steel plates with a fire-retardant covering in the conditions of fire influence at a standard temperature mode of a fire are analyzed. Based on the obtained data (temperature in the furnace and from the unheated surface of steel plates with fire protection system) the solution of the inverse problems of thermal conductivity found thermophysical characteristics of fire protection coating (thermal conductivity and specific volume), which can be used for thermal calculation heating of fire-retardant steel structures at arbitrary fire temperatures. The thermophysical characteristics of the formed fire-retardant coating are substantiated to find the characteristics of the fire-retardant ability of the newly created fire-retardant coating and to ensure the fire resistance of fire-retardant steel structures. The efficiency of the developed fire-retardant coating for protection of steel structures is proved.

Проанализирована взаимосвязь разброса значений пределов огнестойкости стальных конструкций со вспучивающимися огнезащитными покрытиями и соответствующего этому разбросу интервала толщины огнезащитного покрытия. Предложена методика, на основании которой может быть осуществлен выбор необходимой толщины огнезащитного покрытия в зависимости от заданных значений дисперсии предела огнестойкости и приведенной толщины конструкции при заданной доверительной вероятности.An analysis of a relationship between fire resistance limits scatter for steel structures coated with intumescent fire retardant coating and an appropriate interval of thicknesses of the coating was carried out. A methodology for the determination of this relationship was proposed. This methodology was tested on a practical example. A steel structure with a reduced thickness of 6 mm was considered. A typical dependence of the required thickness of the structure was taken into account. A ratio of a mean square deviation of the fire resistance limit to this limit was accepted to be equal 0.1. Using these values an appropriated interval of the thicknesses of the intumescent fire retardant coating was determined. This interval can be calculated for any given confidence level. Boundaries of this interval can be not symmetric in relation to the value of the normative thickness of the fire retardant coating. The proposed methodology can be used for the determination of the required thicknesses of the intumescent fire retardant coatings on steel structures for the given r value, reduced thickness of the structure and the confidence level.

In the paper, the tests have been analysed for fire-resistant quality of the hollow-core reinforced-concrete floors with fire-retardant plaster covering under standard temperature regime of the fire. Using the methodology for determining the characteristics of fire-retardant coatings ability for reinforced-concrete floors, the dependences have been obtained of the fire-retardant coating thickness from the concrete protective layer of a hollow-core reinforced-concrete floor for a fire resistance limit of 180 minutes with a temperature regime of hydrocarbon fire and a tunnel curve according to the Netherlands standards (RWS). It has been concluded about the minimum required thickness of the studied fire-retardant coating to provide the required fire resistance limit of a hollow-core reinforced-concrete floor under the indicated fire regimes.

As the result of great changes occurring to mechanical properties under high temperature (fire) conditions, steel structures will soon lose the strength and stiffness and lead to structural damage. Through analysis of the steel structure fire resistance design methods under the conditions of high temperature (fire), this article explores the most used fire protection methods in steel structures—brushing or painting fire-resistant coatings, studies the fire-resistance theory of steel structure under fire conditions; in addition, the author proposes the reasonable thickness of the steel structure fire retardant coating of fire-resistant design through design examples.
