Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of equivalent thermal resistance evaluation technology, specifically to a method and system for evaluating the equivalent thermal resistance of intumescent fireproof coatings for steel structures. Background Technology
[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Steel structure buildings have advantages such as light weight, high strength, fast construction speed, and excellent seismic performance. However, steel has poor fire resistance; under the high temperatures of a fire, the internal temperature of the components rises rapidly, leading to a degradation of the material's elastic modulus, compressive strength, and yield strength. Under the combined action of external forces, structural failure can occur. Therefore, steel structure buildings must be designed with fire protection in mind to delay the temperature rise of the steel during a fire and prevent structural damage. The main fire protection methods for steel structures include applying fire-retardant coatings, covering with fire-resistant boards, and using fire-resistant steel. Among these, applying fire-retardant coatings is currently the most widely used method.
[0004] Based on their fire-retardant mechanisms and coating thickness, fire-retardant coatings for steel structures can be divided into two main categories: intumescent and non-intumescent. Non-intumescent fire-retardant coatings are formulated using inorganic insulating aggregates (such as expanded vermiculite) or reinforcing materials (such as ceramic fibers, glass fibers, etc.) and other fillers. They are low in cost but prone to peeling and have poor aesthetics. Intumescent fire-retardant coatings use polymers with strong adhesion and durability (such as acrylic resins, epoxy resins, etc.) as binders, and add flame retardants (such as ammonium polyphosphate, melamine, pentaerythritol, etc.), pigments, and fillers. When exposed to fire, they expand and foam to form a dense, porous, insulating char layer, delaying the temperature rise of the substrate and providing protection.
[0005] Currently, fire protection design for steel structures primarily determines the critical temperature of components with different stress characteristics by using the cross-sectional strength-load ratio, and then determines the required equivalent thermal resistance for each component using standard temperature rise curves and critical temperatures. For non-intumescent fire-retardant coatings, the equivalent thermal conductivity coefficient is basically the same at different thicknesses, and the difference between different brands is not significant. Therefore, when performing fire protection calculations, the software directly multiplies the equivalent thermal conductivity coefficient by the equivalent thermal resistance to obtain the coating thickness. However, for intumescent fire-retardant coatings, because their thickness changes under high temperatures, and the fire protection principles differ at different expansion stages, the equivalent thermal conductivity coefficient of intumescent fire-retardant coatings varies considerably at different thicknesses. Furthermore, the parameter also varies between different brands. Software calculations generally only provide the equivalent thermal resistance value, and structural engineers must use this value to determine the design value for the fire-retardant coating thickness.
[0006] The quality standard for fire-retardant coatings for steel structures uses fire resistance time as a parameter to characterize the coating's fire resistance. The fire resistance time ranges from 0.5 hours to 3 hours, with each 0.5-hour interval defining a different level. Under the standard temperature rise curve, the maximum bending deformation at mid-span of the steel beam must be less than a specified value at the specified fire resistance time level, and the temperature of the steel beam encased in the fire-retardant coating must also be less than a specified value. Currently, the testing and inspection of fire-retardant coatings for steel structures are all based on the quality standard for fire-retardant coatings for steel structures. Product inspection reports only show the maximum bending deformation at mid-span and the highest temperature of the specimen, without including information on the equivalent thermal resistance of the steel structure's fire-resistant design.
[0007] In reality, steel structural components are in a state of thermo-mechanical coupling under high temperatures during a fire. When the stress state of a component is still more redundant than its ultimate state, that component can withstand higher temperatures than components with less redundancy. However, when using intumescent fire-retardant coatings, this design method must consider material parameters such as equivalent thermal resistance. Therefore, there is currently a disconnect between the structural design of steel structure fire protection and the manufacturers of intumescent fire-retardant coatings. This makes it difficult for structural engineers to directly calculate the coating thickness when using intumescent fire-retardant coatings, causing significant difficulties for fire protection design in engineering projects. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method and system for evaluating the equivalent thermal resistance of intumescent fire-retardant coatings for steel structures. Based on the fundamental theory of heat conduction equations and using the test items in the product testing report of intumescent fire-retardant coatings (mid-span bending moment and material temperature of the steel beam coated with fire), the equivalent thermal resistance is calculated. The information in the product testing report is correlated with the equivalent thermal resistance, providing a practical curve for fire-resistant design of structural engineering.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0036] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0037] This invention proposes a method for evaluating the equivalent thermal resistance of intumescent fire-retardant coatings for steel structures. The technical terms and related concepts involved in this solution are briefly introduced below:
[0038] Lumped heat capacity method: According to the Fourier heat conduction equation, the temperature change inside the heat transfer body is proportional to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the heat transfer body. The lumped heat capacity method is a simplified form of the Fourier heat conduction equation. It assumes that the internal thermal resistance of the heat conductor is much smaller than the surface convection thermal resistance, that is, the internal temperature of the heat conductor is uniform and there is no spatial difference.
[0039] Newton's iteration method: As an efficient numerical method for solving nonlinear equations, it is especially suitable for transcendental equations, such as equations containing trigonometric functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, etc., which cannot be solved analytically by algebraic transformations. The basic idea is to approximate the root of the equation by using the linear part (tangent) of the Taylor expansion of the function.
[0040] The method for evaluating the equivalent thermal resistance of intumescent fire-retardant coatings for steel structures, specifically, is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0041] S101: Obtain the steel density, specific heat of steel, and cross-sectional shape factor of steel components under thermal conditions;
[0042] S102: Based on the relationship between the temperature of the steel structure under the protection of intumescent fire retardant coating and the furnace temperature of the fire resistance test of the fire retardant coating, determine the relationship between the temperature of the steel structure under the protection of intumescent fire retardant coating and the comprehensive evaluation coefficient. The comprehensive evaluation coefficient is calculated based on the steel density, steel specific heat, cross-sectional shape factor and the equivalent thermal resistance of the fire retardant coating.
[0043] S103: Based on the relationship between the temperature of the steel structure under the protection of the intumescent fire retardant coating and the comprehensive evaluation coefficient, determine the value of the comprehensive evaluation coefficient. Based on the determined value of the comprehensive evaluation coefficient, as well as the steel density, steel specific heat and cross-sectional shape coefficient, obtain the final equivalent thermal resistance value of the fire retardant coating.
[0044] More specifically, the present invention mainly comprises two parts: the first part is the temperature calculation of the specimen (i.e., steel beam) in the fire resistance test of fire-resistant coating for steel structures, and the second part is the calculation of the equivalent thermal resistance of the fire-resistant coating.
[0045] In the specimen temperature calculation for the fire resistance test of fire-retardant coatings on steel structures in Part 1, the temperature of a specimen coated with a certain thickness of fire-retardant coating in a high-temperature furnace under a specified fire resistance rating is calculated using fire-retardant coating quality inspection test methods and mechanical theory. The main processes include the following:
[0046] The fire resistance performance test of the fire-retardant coating for steel structures used Q235 steel as the substrate, and steel beams were used for fire exposure and loading. The steel beams were HN400×200 hot-rolled H-beams or I36b hot-rolled I-beams, with a fire exposure length of [missing information]. The loading length should be no less than 4000 mm. The loading method is four-point loading, meaning the loading zone of the specimen is a pure bending segment, and the loading length... The experimental loading amount was increased by a maximum of 100mm at each end of the fire-exposed length. The design bending moment limit is 60% of the design bending moment limit value. The following requirements should be met:
[0047] (1);
[0048] in, The strength reduction factor can be taken as 0.9. For bending strength, Section modulus for bending. Coefficient of plastic development of section. When the ratio of the free overhang width of the compression flange of the beam to its thickness is greater than and not more than At that time, take .
[0049] Fire resistance tests determine the fire resistance rating of fire-retardant coatings; specifically, within the time specified for the fire resistance rating, the maximum deflection of a steel beam coated with a fire-retardant coating should not exceed a specified value. ,in Given the height of the steel beam, the maximum deflection at mid-span can be obtained using mechanical methods. c and elastic modulus Relationship:
[0050] (2);
[0051] in, Let be the moment of inertia of the steel beam section.
[0052] In the refractory test, as the furnace temperature increased, the elastic modulus of the steel beam decreased. The deflection gradually decreases and then gradually increases. Under high temperature, the steel beam reaches its maximum deflection at mid-span. c At that time, the elastic modulus of steel is:
[0053] (3);
[0054] The final value within the parentheses is 60% of the design bending moment limit value.
[0055] Calculate when the elastic modulus of steel reaches The specific temperature of the steel at that time includes:
[0056] (4);
[0057] in, The elastic modulus of Q235 steel substrate at room temperature is obtained by... Substituting into the above equation, we can solve it using Newton's iteration method to obtain... This means that the mid-span deflection of the steel beam reaches [a certain value]. c The internal temperature of the steel.
[0058] The method for solving the above equation using Newton's iteration method is as follows:
[0059] (5);
[0060] (6).
[0061] The value is generally between 400℃ and 600℃, and an initial value of 500℃ can be used for calculation.
[0062] (7);
[0063] Until The value reaches 10 -5 The above precision can be achieved by using the appendix when it is inconvenient to calculate using Newton's iteration method. Figure 2 Curve, via Found value.
[0064] The quality inspection test for fire-retardant coatings also requires that thermocouple wires be extended from the surface of the steel beam substrate under the fire-retardant coating to measure the highest temperature reached by the steel during the test, ensuring that it does not exceed the specified value. Theoretically, when the steel beam reaches its maximum deflection at mid-span during the test, the steel material should simultaneously reach its highest temperature; this measured value should equal the value calculated using Newton's iteration method. In reality, both the experimental measurements of maximum deflection and maximum temperature have inherent errors. When the fire-retardant coating quality inspection report provides both the maximum deflection and maximum temperature at mid-span of the steel beam, these two values should be used to comprehensively estimate the temperature. (For example, to find the mean).
[0065] In this implementation, the second part is the calculation of the equivalent thermal resistance of the fire-retardant coating on the steel structure, which is based on the temperature of the steel material (i.e., the expansion-type steel structure). Based on the standard temperature rise curve of the furnace and the fundamental theory of the lumped heat capacity method, the equivalent thermal resistance of the fire-retardant coating is calculated, which mainly includes the following process:
[0066] Assume the furnace temperature for the fire resistance test of the fire-retardant coating is... The equivalent thermal resistance of the fire-retardant coating applied to the surface of the steel substrate is [value missing], and the temperature of the steel under the protection of the fire-retardant coating is [value missing]. Since steel is a good conductor of heat, the internal temperature gradient of the steel can be ignored, that is, it is assumed that the internal temperature field of the steel is a uniform field. The process of heat transfer from the high-temperature experimental furnace to the steel is described by the lumped heat capacity method:
[0067] (8);
[0068] in, The variable is time, and the unit is seconds (s). This is the density of steel, taken as 7850 kg / m³. 3 , The specific heat of steel is taken as 0.502 × 10⁻⁶. 3 J / (kg·℃), It is the section shape factor of steel components under thermal conditions; for HN400×200 hot-rolled H-beams, it is 161m.-1 I36b hot-rolled I-beams are 126m in length. -1 .
[0069] Let the initial conditions be Steel temperature in seconds Under this condition, the above equation is modified to:
[0070] (9);
[0071] (10);
[0072] The furnace temperature for the refractory test was determined using the ISO standard temperature rise curve, i.e.:
[0073] (11);
[0074] Based on the above formula, we can obtain:
[0075] (12);
[0076] The temperature of the steel obtained from the fire resistance test is obtained from the first part. Then, solve using the above formula. This process involves solving the transcendental equation, which should be calculated using Newton's iteration method. Let:
[0077] (13);
[0078] (14);
[0079] in, The value is typically a few ten-thousandths to a few thousandths. An initial value of 0.0001 is used, and an iterative method is employed for calculation. value:
[0080] (15);
[0081] Until The value reaches 10 -5 The above precision is required. Then, based on the steel density... Specific heat and cross-sectional shape factor Calculate the equivalent thermal resistance. When it is inconvenient to use Newton's iteration method for calculation, an auxiliary method can be used. Figure 3 The equivalent thermal resistance is obtained from the curve. Fire resistance ratings are generally divided into six levels: 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, 2 hours, 2.5 hours, and 3 hours. After collecting the brand's fire resistance rating test reports to determine the equivalent thermal resistance at the six thicknesses, the thicknesses corresponding to other equivalent thermal resistances are determined using linear interpolation.
[0082] This implementation provides the following example: Assume an imported outdoor intumescent fire-retardant coating for steel structures, product number GT-WRP-F. P 2.00-XXXX, small retail price 80 yuan / kg, fire resistance test report shows fire retardant coating thickness 3.0mm, fire resistance test time 2 hours, maximum deflection at mid-span of specimen during test 14.5mm, highest specimen temperature 530℃. Fire resistance test steel beam fire-exposed length. Typically 4000mm, loading length The diameter is 4400mm, mostly using I36b I-beams, with the following cross-sectional parameters: , .
[0083] Calculate the elastic modulus of the steel at the maximum deflection at mid-span:
[0084] (16);
[0085] get:
[0086] (17);
[0087] Solve the following equation using Newton's iterative method:
[0088] (18);
[0089] get The reference specimen's thermocouple temperature was 530℃. (Based on comprehensive analysis...) .
[0090] Solve the following equation using Newton's iterative method:
[0091] (19);
[0092] The equivalent thermal resistance R is obtained as 0.2238℃ / W, which means that the equivalent thermal resistance of this brand of fireproof coating is 0.2238℃ / W when the thickness is 3.0 mm. The equivalent thermal resistance values for other thicknesses are calculated in the same way. When the required equivalent thermal resistance value of a certain component is obtained, the coating thickness is calculated by linear interpolation.
[0093] Table 1 shows the fire resistance performance data from the product quality test reports for other fire resistance ratings of the aforementioned brand of fire-retardant coatings. The report indicates that the experimental steel beams used were I36b I-beams, and the length exposed to fire was... =4000mm, loading length =4200mm, total external load 207kN, and I36b I-beam section parameters are also found. =920.8cm 3 , =16574cm 4 .

[0095]
[0096] The equivalent thermal resistance of the example product was tested by the brand manufacturer, and the data is shown in Table 2.
[0097] Table 2: Verification results.
[0098]
[0099] By comparing the data in Table 2 with those in Table 1, it can be seen that the error of the method of the present invention does not exceed 12%. When estimating the equivalent thermal resistance of fire-retardant coatings according to the method of the present invention, the calculation results are generally too small and too conservative. It can be applied to the calculation of the thickness of intumescent fire-retardant coatings in engineering fire protection design.
