Influence of testing samples' parameters on the results of evaluating the fireprotective capability of materials
Journal Title: Восточно-Европейский журнал передовых технологий - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 10
Abstract
<p>Test methods given in EN 13381-4:2013 and EN 13381-8:2013 standards serve to assess the fire-protective capacity of materials for steel structures. The results of the tests determine data on minimum thickness of fire-protective materials used further in design of steel structures. The tests are very time consuming. They require significant costs for creation of standardized samples and conduction of tests. At the same time, there are methods, which propose to use samples of reduced sizes and of other shapes than sizes and shapes of standardized samples. There is an actual question about possibility of application of methods with samples of reduced sizes as an alternative to EN 13381-4:2013 and EN 13381-8:2013 methods.</p>The study investigated the convergence of results of assessment of the fire-protective capacity of two types of fire-protective materials for steel structures obtained in tests on standardized samples and tests on samples of reduced sizes. We established that values of the minimum thickness for reactive fire-protective material obtained from the test data on samples of reduced sizes are predominantly larger than values for standardized samples. Values of the minimum thickness for passive fire-protective material obtained using standardized samples are mainly large. The difference between the minimum thickness of reactive fire-protective material obtained on samples of reduced size and standardized samples reaches 79.0 %, and it is 62.5 % for a passive fire-protective material. Such difference of values indicates that it is impossible to use samples of reduced sizes for assessment of the fire-protective capacity of materials for steel structures for all ranges of reduced thickness of a steel profile, critical steel temperature and the normalized threshold of fire resistance of structures listed in EN 13381-4: 2013 and EN 13381-8: 201
