Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a design method of a cable structure with heat protection performance, belonging to the technical field of cable fire protection. Background Art

[0002] Cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges have the characteristics of large spans and beautiful shapes. They are widely used in bridge construction. While the traffic volume has increased significantly, the risk of vehicle fire accidents has also increased. Among the extreme loads that bridges may bear, fire and explosion will cause immeasurable losses to bridges. Cables are important load-bearing components of cable-supported bridges. When a fire accident occurs on the bridge deck (especially a tanker fire), the cable system will be affected by heat convection and heat radiation, which can easily cause the PE sheath of the suspension cable to burn, the temperature of the steel wire continues to rise, and then the anti-corrosion layer will fall off, the performance of the steel wire will deteriorate, and other fire damage diseases will occur. The elastic modulus and ultimate bearing capacity of the cable will also decrease with the increase in temperature, posing a serious threat to the safe operation of the bridge.

[0003] At present, relevant specifications for fire protection of cable components have not yet been formulated. The fire protection design of cable components mainly refers to the relevant achievements in the field of building steel structures. By using fireproof materials with high temperature resistance, heat resistance and flame retardant properties, the damage caused by fire to bridges can be reduced. However, existing fireproof materials have problems such as low fire resistance level, insufficient high temperature resistance and thermal conductivity. New ways are needed to control heat transfer near the cables and reduce the impact of fire accidents on the cable body. Summary of the invention

[0034] The present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the schematic diagram, wherein the preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown, and it should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the present invention described herein, and still achieve the beneficial effects of the present invention. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being widely known to those skilled in the art, and not as a limitation of the present invention.

[0035] A design method of a cable structure with heat protection performance according to an embodiment of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, a cable structure with thermal protection performance is proposed according to an embodiment of the present invention. The three-layer cable structure includes: a cable body, and material 1, material 2, and material 3 arranged in sequence on the outside of the cable body. The radius of the cable body is R0, the outer diameter of material 1 is R1, the outer diameter of material 2 is R2, and the outer diameter of material 3 is R3.

[0037] When the outer side of the cable body in the cable structure is made of three materials, the design method includes the following steps:

[0038] Step 1: Determine the environmental thermal conductivity k, select the first material, the second material and the third material, determine the thermal conductivity k1 of the first material, the thermal conductivity k2 of the second material and the thermal conductivity k3 of the third material, and calculate β;

[0039] Step 2: Determine the radius R0 of the protected cable body and the outer diameter R3 of the third material;

[0040] Step 3: Determine the outer diameter R1 of the first material, and calculate the outer diameter R2 of the first material according to formula (1).

[0041]

[0042] When the outer side of the cable body in the cable structure is made of two materials, the design method includes the following steps:

[0043] Step 1: Determine the environmental thermal conductivity k, select the first material and the second material, determine the thermal conductivity k1 of the first material and the thermal conductivity k2 of the second material, and take β=1;

[0044] Step 2: Determine the radius R0 of the protected cable body and the outer diameter R3 of the second material;

[0045] Step 3: Determine the outer diameter R1 of the first material, and calculate the outer diameter R2 of the second material according to formula (2).

[0046]

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a two-layer cable structure, including a cable body, material 1, and material 2, and constructs a finite element model of a cable structure with thermal protection performance. The radius of the cable body is R0 = 0.1m, and the radius of material 1 is R1 = 0.125m. Among them, the cable body is selected as a steel cable with a density of ρ0 = 7850kg / m 3 , thermal conductivity k0 = 44.5W / (m·K), constant pressure heat capacity C p0 =475J / (kg·K); Material 1 is polystyrene, density ρ1=40kg / m 3 , thermal conductivity k1 = 0.04W / (m·K), constant pressure heat capacity C p1=1300J / (kg·K); Material 2 is carbon fiber, density ρ2=1500kg / m 3 , thermal conductivity k2 = 0.2326W / (m·K), constant pressure heat capacity C p2 =800 J / (kg·K). A temperature load of 1000°C was applied to the bottom of the model, the initial temperature was set to 30°C, and the thermal conductivity of the environment was k=0.076 W / (m·K).

[0048] Substituting the above related parameters into formula (2), the radius of material 2 is calculated to be R2 = 0.1375m.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the cable body temperature change curve within 2 hours of temperature load application. The initial temperature of the cable body is 30°C. After the temperature load is applied for 1 hour, the cable body temperature is 30.07°C, and the cable body temperature changes relatively slowly; after the temperature load is applied for 2 hours, the cable body temperature is 30.56°C. Within 1 to 2 hours of temperature load, the cable body temperature changes relatively greatly. Considering the actual needs, the temperature of the cable body is reasonable after the temperature load is applied for 2 hours. Therefore, the cable structure with thermal protection performance effectively reduces the impact of external high temperature on the cable body.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the isotherms of the cable structure model with thermal protection performance after burning for 2 hours. The temperature of material 1 is in the range of 535-584℃, the temperature of material 2 is in the range of 584-633℃ on the side close to the temperature load, and in the range of 486-535℃ on the side away from the temperature load. The temperature of the cable body is relatively low at around 30℃.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the temperature field of the cable structure model with thermal protection performance when burning for 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes respectively. As time goes by, the ambient temperature gradually rises, and the temperature around the cable gradually rises. The cable temperature is relatively low at around 30°C, and the heat is transmitted around the cable body, realizing the control of heat transfer near the cable.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and represent only schematic diagrams rather than physical drawings, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention; in order to better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product; it is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted. The examples of the present invention are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design concept of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made by engineers and technicians in this field to the technical solution of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
