Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fire resistance of building structures, and more particularly to a method for simulating the temperature field of a membrane structure fire taking into account the detachment of a membrane material weld. Background Art

[0002] Skeleton membrane structures are widely used in sports buildings, residential buildings, exhibition buildings, etc. Skeleton membrane structures generally use steel structures as skeletons and membrane materials as enclosure structures. However, the strength of steel is greatly affected by temperature. When the temperature is higher than 400°C, the strength and elastic modulus of steel begin to drop sharply. When the temperature reaches 650°C, the steel basically loses its strength. Therefore, when a fire occurs, the skeleton membrane structure may become unstable due to the failure of the strength of the steel structure.

[0003] The weld of the membrane material is a weak point of the membrane structure. The membrane surface at the weld of PVC and PTFE membrane materials will crack and fail when the temperature reaches about 200℃ and 300℃ respectively. By utilizing this characteristic of the membrane material, when a fire breaks out indoors, the heat and smoke generated by the combustion gather upwards, the temperature of the membrane surface rises, the weld cracks, and smoke exhaust holes are formed, which can effectively prevent indoor objects and steel frames from being continuously exposed to high temperature environments; secondly, it limits the accumulation of smoke in the use area, which can provide better visibility indoors, facilitate personnel evacuation and firefighting by firefighters. Therefore, considering the characteristic of the membrane material weld disengaging at high temperatures, the steel structure temperature of the skeleton membrane structure can be effectively reduced, which is effective for the stability of the skeleton membrane structure under fire.

[0004] This method can simulate the phenomenon that the membrane material detaches at the weld of the membrane structure during a fire, causing smoke to escape, and solves the key technical problem of how to obtain the fire temperature field of the membrane structure taking into account the detachment of the membrane material weld.

[0048] In this embodiment, step S1 includes:

[0049] S11. Establish detailed information of the membrane structure building to be simulated, including the use function, geometric parameters, physical parameters of building materials, heat release rate of membrane materials, ventilation conditions, presence or absence of fire sprinkler system, type of combustibles and distribution location of combustibles.

[0051] S13. Construct a three-dimensional model according to the geometric parameters of the membrane structure building to be simulated established in step S11.

[0052] The three-dimensional model is drawn using three-dimensional modeling software; the three-dimensional model in this application can be drawn using Rhino, Sketchup or Revit.

[0053] Attached Figure 2 A three-dimensional model of a membrane building structure is established using Rhino software, the three-dimensional model includes a roof 1 covered with PVC membrane material, a fence 2 and air inlets 3, the fence 2 defines a rectangular area, the upper end of the fence 2 is provided with a roof 1 covered with PVC membrane material, the upper end of the area enclosed by the fence 2 is blocked by the roof 1 covered with PVC membrane material, and four relatively arranged air inlets 3 are opened on the fence 2; the fence 2 is assumed to be an insulating surface during simulation, the air inlet 3 is a rectangular opening and its size is 4×2m, the membrane building structure has no smoke exhaust outlets, sprinklers and other fire-fighting facilities, the combustible is set to be plastic foam, the combustible is located in the area enclosed by the fence 2 and is arranged in the center, and the fire source is 0m above the ground.

[0054] In this embodiment, the membrane structure building to be simulated is used as a store without a fire sprinkler system. According to Table 4.6.7 of the Technical Standard for Smoke and Exhaust Systems in Buildings (GB51251-2017), the fire source power Q is determined to be 10MW. According to Table 14 of the Technical Code for Fire Protection of Steel Structures in Buildings (CECS200:2006), the heat release rate per unit area of ​​the store is q e =500kW / m 2 , then the fire source area A is Q / q e =20m2 According to the Technical Standard for Smoke Control and Exhaust Systems in Buildings (GB51251-2017), the fire growth model shown in formula (1) is used. The combustible material is plastic foam, the fire type is rapid fire, and α = 0.044 kW / s 2 .

[0055] Q=α·t 2 (1)

[0056] Where: Q is the fire source power (kW); α is the fire growth coefficient (kW / s 2 );t is time (s).

[0057] Step S2: Import the three-dimensional model of the membrane structure building generated in step S13 into the Pyros im software.

[0058] Step S3 includes:

[0059] S31, in the Pyrosim software, determining the grid size according to the fire source power of the membrane structure building to be simulated and the width of the membrane material weld, and dividing the grid according to the width of the membrane material weld and the distribution position of the membrane material weld;

[0060] The grid size δ and the characteristic diameter of the fire source D* generally meet the requirement of D* / δ∈[4,16], where D* is calculated according to formula (2):

[0061]

[0062] Where: Q is the fire source power (kW); ρ ∞ is the initial value of ambient air density, which is 1.2 kg / m 3 ;c ∞ is the initial value of specific heat capacity, which is 1 kJ / (kg·K); T ∞ is the initial value of the ambient temperature, which is 293K; g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81m / s 2 .

[0063] In addition, in order to accurately simulate the phenomenon of membrane material weld detachment, the grid size at the membrane material weld should be at least consistent with the membrane material weld width.

[0064] S32. Select the "Convert to blocks" command in the Pyrosim software to convert the imported 3D model into obstacles, and check "Allow thin obstruction" to make the thickness of the obstacles 0.

[0065] Step S4 includes:

[0066] S41, according to the fire source parameters established in step S12, the fire source heat release rate per unit area and the fire source growth curve are set by defining a Burner type surface; a vent is established and given a Burner surface attribute, the vent is used as a fire source, and the area of ​​the vent is the fire source area; the product of the fire source area and the fire source heat release rate per unit area is the fire source power;

[0067] S42. According to the physical parameters of the building materials established in step S11, different material models are established in the Materials tab; different types of surfaces are established based on different material models, that is, the material types and corresponding thicknesses of the membrane surface, membrane material welds and other components are specified under the Material Layers tab in the Surface tab; the surface setting of the membrane material welds needs to specify the heat release rate per unit area and the weld detachment temperature in the "Reaction" tab, and "Allow obstruction to burn away" is checked to simulate the phenomenon of the membrane material weld detaching at high temperature;

[0068] S43, assigning the surface properties of the membrane surface, the membrane material weld and other components to the membrane surface, the membrane material weld and other components respectively.

[0069] Step S5 includes:

[0070] S51. Arrange temperature measurement points using thermocouples and set simulation parameters, including air supply ports, smoke exhaust ports, sprinklers, etc.;

[0071] S52, set the ambient temperature, simulation duration and output parameters, and call the FDS program for calculation.

[0072] For the convenience of comparison, the influence of the detachment of the membrane weld on the internal smoke temperature field was considered. A temperature measuring point was arranged at the membrane surface directly above the fire source. At the same time, a measuring point was arranged every 1.25m along the membrane surface to draw a temperature cloud map near the membrane surface. The calculation time was set to 1800s.

[0073] Step S6: Comparative analysis is performed to consider the impact of membrane material weld detachment on the membrane structure fire temperature field.

[0074] In order to compare the effect of the membrane material weld detachment on the internal smoke temperature field, a control example is set up, that is, the membrane structure building temperature field example without considering the weld detachment. The final results are shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 , 4 shown.

[0075] See attached Figure 3, is the curve of the temperature above the fire source near the membrane surface with or without weld detachment over time, where the solid line and dotted line represent the temperature above the fire source near the membrane surface in the two cases of no weld detachment and weld detachment, respectively. It can be seen that the temperature above the fire source near the membrane surface when considering weld detachment is lower than that when not considering weld detachment.

[0076] See attached Figure 4 , is the temperature cloud diagram near the membrane surface with or without weld detachment, where Figure 4 (a) and (b) are the temperature cloud diagrams near the membrane surface at t = 300s and t = 1800s respectively when the weld is not detached. Figure 4 (c) and (d) are the temperature cloud diagrams near the membrane surface at t = 300s and t = 1800s respectively when the weld is detached. Figure 4 (a) and (c) show that in the early stage of fire development, when the temperature at the membrane weld has not reached the weld detachment temperature, the temperature distribution near the membrane surface is not much different with or without weld detachment; Figure 4 (b) and (d) show that when the fire development is in a stable stage, after the temperature at the weld reaches the weld disengagement temperature, the weld disengages to varying degrees, and hot smoke overflows along the formed holes. Therefore, the temperature value near the membrane surface when considering weld disengagement is significantly lower than the temperature value when not considering weld disengagement.

[0077] The membrane structure fire temperature field simulation method considering the membrane material weld detachment provided by the present invention solves the key technical problem of how to obtain the membrane structure fire temperature field considering the membrane material weld detachment.
