Economic Considerations

Decreased strength of building materials as a result of flame impingement (e.g. during a fire) is one of major threats in the construction branch. For these reasons, the effectiveness of fire safety systems in various kinds of facilities or structures is extremely important. One of the determinants of this effectiveness is so-called fire insulation, i.e. time expressed in minutes after which an increase in the temperature of a protected structure or facility exceeds a certain admissible value (140 °C). The results of investigations presented in the article concern the determination of the effect of various mineral binders used in the manufacture of insulation boards from expanded perlite on fire resistance and, in consequence, on extending the time of fire insulation in the conditions of cellulose and hydrocarbon fire. The conducted research has revealed that the fire resistance of perlite products can be modelled by selecting adequate mineral binders, with respect to specific applications and economic considerations. Insulation boards based on expanded perlite – depending on the binder used – were characterized by a fire insulation ranging (with a board thickness of 50 mm) from 50 to 100 minutes in the conditions of cellulose fire and from 20 to 30 minutes in the conditions of hydrocarbon fire.

Actual Fire

Проведен краткий анализ понятий, связанных с расчетом пределов огнестойкости строительных конструкций. Дано определение термина «фактический предел огнестойкости», которое отсутствует в нормативных документах по пожарной безопасности. Отмечено, что это связано с использованием на практике значений пределов огнестойкости, определенных для стандартных температурных режимов пожара, в то время как на практике указанные температурные режимы, как правило, отличаются от стандартных. Предложена концепция определения фактического предела огнестойкости, основанная на моделировании воздействия на строительную конструкцию температурного режима реального пожара (например, с помощью программного комплекса FDS 6). The brief analysis of definitions connected with estimation of fire resistance limits of building structures is conducted. There is given the determination of term “actual fire resistance limit” that is absent in fire safety normative documents. It is caused by practical application of the fire resistance limits determined for standard temperature regimes of fires only, but at the same time the temperature regimes of real fires as a rule differ from the standard regimes. There is proposed the method for determination of the actual fire resistance limit based on the modeling of influence of the real fire temperature regime on buildings structures. This modeling can be made by an application of CFD methods (for example, with the help of FDS 6 software complex). The required reliability of the building structure is considered. The proposed method can solve the problem of practical applicability of certain structural unit during designing buildings and structures, for which the use of the resistance limits obtained for the standard fire temperature regimes can lead to unjustified economic expenditures without an appropriate elevation of fire safety level of the object.

Temperature Impacts

Ability to resist of high temperature impacts during fire is not based exclusively on ignitability of building materials. At the present time, fire resistance is declared mainly through fire tests, but numerical procedures for the determination of fire resistance also represent an effective alternative in this field. Using calculation methods for the determination of ceiling structure fire resistance on the basis of timber is subject of the submitted paper. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the fact that timber, or products from it, are building materials capable to resist impacts of fully developed fire for the period of more than 60 minutes in spite of their flammability. Applicability of these results in selected countries of Europe can be seen from the list of requirements.

This paper deals with the problematics of utilization of waste perlite from production of expanded perlite in polymer-based material. The goal of this paper is to develop repair mortar containing as high amount of waste perlite as possible as substitution for filler. The resulting mortar exhibits very high physical-mechanical properties such as high bonding strength to a large variety of building materials. The microstructure and the re-dispersibility of filler were also studied.
