Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, in a steel-frame building, it is difficult to accommodate two staircases in one staircase room. In a steel-frame building, the staircases are composed of steel materials. Since the steel materials have poor fire resistance, there is a risk that the two staircases will burn simultaneously.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] (1) A building that solves the above problem is a steel-framed building comprising a building body, a stairwell provided in the building body and separated from other rooms by a fire-resistant partition wall, a first staircase provided in the stairwell, and a second staircase provided in the stairwell, wherein the first staircase has a first passage section provided on each floor and a first staircase section provided in the first passage section on each floor from the evacuation floor to the floor below the top floor, and the second staircase has a second passage section provided on each floor and a second staircase section provided in the second passage section on each floor from the evacuation floor to the floor below the top floor, wherein, when viewed from the stair width direction of the first staircase, each of the multiple first staircase sections is arranged to intersect with the second staircase section that connects the same floor as the first staircase, and fire-resistant material is provided on the underside of the first staircase and the underside of the second staircase.

[0007] With this configuration, the fire-resistant materials placed under the first and second staircases of the building prevent both sections from burning down simultaneously due to heat.

[0008] (2) The building described in (1) above is further provided with fire-resistant partition walls arranged between the plurality of first stair sections and the plurality of second stair sections. With this configuration, if a fire occurs in one of the first stair sections or the second stair section, it is possible to suppress the spread of the fire from one to the other.

[0009] (3) In the building described in (2) above, the first passageway and the second passageway are made of concrete.

[0010] This configuration makes it possible to suppress the spread of fire from one of the upper and lower spaces of the first passageway to the other. Furthermore, it also makes it possible to suppress the spread of fire from one of the upper and lower spaces of the second passageway to the other.

[0011] (4) The building described in (3) above further comprises a first firewall separating the space of the first passage on the top floor from the space above the second staircase extending to the top floor, and a second firewall separating the space of the second passage on the top floor from the space above the first staircase extending to the top floor, wherein the stairwell is divided into a first stairwell containing the first staircase and a second stairwell containing the second staircase by the fireproofing material, the fireproof partition wall, the first passage, the second passage, the first firewall, and the second firewall.

[0012] This configuration makes it possible to suppress the spread of fire from one of the first and second stairwells to the other. Therefore, if a fire occurs in one of the first or second stairwells, it is possible to suppress its spread from one to the other.

[0013] (5) For any building described in any one of (1) to (4) above, the first staircase is configured in a spiral shape in plan view, and the second staircase is configured in a spiral shape in plan view.

[0014] This configuration allows for a reduction in the volume occupied by the first staircase within the building compared to a configuration where the first staircase is not spiral-shaped. Furthermore, it allows for a reduction in the volume occupied by the second staircase within the building compared to a configuration where the second staircase is not spiral-shaped.

[0015] (6) For any building described in any one of (2) to (5) above, the first end of the fire-resistant material, which is one end in the direction of the width of the stairs, is in contact with the fire-resistant partition wall, and the second end of the fire-resistant material, which is the other end in the direction of the width of the stairs, is in contact with the fire-resistant partition wall.

[0016] This configuration makes it possible to prevent flames from entering the space between the first staircase and the fire-resistant material, or the space between the second staircase and the fire-resistant material.

[0017] (7) For the building according to any one of (1) to (6) above, the fireproof material is fixed to each of the first staircase part and the second staircase part by a connecting member, the connecting member in the first staircase part is arranged in the space between the first staircase part and the fireproof material, and the connecting member in the second staircase part is arranged in the space between the second staircase part and the fireproof material. According to this configuration, it is possible to suppress the connecting member from being exposed to flames.

Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the building of the present disclosure, it is possible to suppress the first staircase part and the second staircase part from burning down due to heat at the same time.

[0049] [Fireproof material] As shown in Figures 3 and 5, the fire-resistant material 6 is placed on the underside of the first staircase section 45 and the underside of the second staircase section 65, respectively.

[0050] Specifically, one fire-resistant material 6 is positioned below the first stair section 45 so as to be aligned with the direction in which the first stair section 45 extends. Hereinafter, the fire-resistant materials 6A,6 provided below the first stair section 45 will be referred to as the first fire-resistant material 6A.

[0051] The other fire-resistant materials 6 are positioned below the second staircase 65 so as to be in the direction in which the second staircase 65 extends. Hereinafter, the fire-resistant materials 6B,6 provided below the second staircase 65 will be referred to as the second fire-resistant material 6B.

[0052] In this embodiment, the fire-resistant material 6 is composed of two fire-resistant boards 81. The two fire-resistant boards 81 are overlapped. An example of a fire-resistant board 81 is gypsum board.

[0053] [Fire protection material connection structure] Referring to Figures 7 to 10, the connection structure of the fire-resistant material 6 in the first stair section 45 or the second stair section 65 is shown.

[0054] The fire-resistant material 6 is fixed to the first stair section 45 and the second stair section 65, respectively, by connecting members 91. The connecting member 91 has a fixing portion 91A and an attachment portion 91B that extends perpendicularly to the fixing portion 91A. In this embodiment, an L-shaped angle 92 is used as the connecting member 91.

[0055] Figures 7 and 8 show the first stair section 45. Figures 9 and 10 show the first stair section 45 and the second stair section 65.

[0056] As shown in Figure 10, the fire-resistant material 6 has a first surface 82 and a second surface 83. The second surface 83 is the surface opposite to the first surface 82. The first surface 82A of the first fire-resistant material 6A faces the treads 51 and risers 52 of the first stair section 45.

The second end 85A of the first fire-resistant material 6A is in contact with the fire-resistant partition wall 26.

[0061] On the first surface 82A of the first fire-resistant material 6A, the portion 82C on the side of the first end 84A contacts the lower surface of the side beam 53A on the side of the first fire compartment wall 22 in the first staircase section 45. On the first surface 82A of the first fire-resistant material 6A, the portion 82E on the side of the second end 85A contacts the lower surface of the side beam 53B on the side of the fire partition wall 26 in the first staircase section 45.

[0062] The second fire-resistant material 6B of the second staircase section 65 will be described in detail. The first end 84B of the second fire-resistant material 6B is in contact with the third fire compartment wall 24. The second end 85B of the second fire-resistant material 6B is in contact with the fire partition wall 26.

[0063] On the first surface 82B of the second fire-resistant material 6B, the portion 82D on the first end 84B side contacts the underside of the side beam 73A on the third fire compartment wall 24 side of the second staircase 65. On the first surface 82B of the second fire-resistant material 6B, the portion 82F on the second end 85B side contacts the underside of the side beam 73B on the fire partition wall 26 side of the second staircase 65.

[0064] The fixing structure of the first fire-resistant material 6A will now be described. The first fire-resistant material 6A is attached below the first stair section 45 by a plurality of connecting members 91.

[0065] Multiple connecting members 91 are fixed to the inner surface 54 of one end and the inner surface 55 of the other end of the first stair section 45. Specifically, the fixing portion 91A of the connecting member 91 is fixed to the inner surface 54, 55 of the first stair section 45 by fasteners such as screws or bolts, such as screws and bolts, so that the mounting portion 91B of the connecting member 91 protrudes horizontally from the inner surface 54, 55. The first fire-resistant material 6A is then fixed to the mounting portions 91B of the multiple connecting members 91 attached to the first stair section 45 by fasteners such as screws and bolts. The fixing structure of the second fire-resistant material 6B is substantially the same as the fixing structure of the first fire-resistant material 6A. As described above, the connecting members 91 in the first stair section 45 are arranged in the space S between the first stair section 45 and the fire-resistant material 6. The connecting members 91 in the second stair section 65 are arranged in the space S between the second stair section 65 and the fire-resistant material 6.

[0066] [Fire-resistant structure in stairwells] As shown in Figure 9, the fire-resistant partition wall 26 is positioned between a plurality of first stair sections 45 and a plurality of second stair sections 65 in the stair width direction. The stringer 53B on the fire-resistant partition wall 26 side of the first stair section 45 is in contact with the fire-resistant partition wall 26. The stringer 73B on the fire-resistant partition wall 26 side of the second stair section 65 is in contact with the fire-resistant partition wall 26.

[0067] The fire-resistant partition wall 26 extends from the floor of the first floor to the ceiling of the third floor. The lower end of the fire-resistant partition wall 26 is connected to the foundation 13. The upper end of the fire-resistant partition wall 26 is connected to the roof section 17. The fire-resistant partition wall 26 separates the first stair section 45 and the second stair section 65 in the direction of the stair width.

[0068] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, a first firewall 27 and a second firewall 28 are provided on the top floor of the stairwell 3. The first firewall 27 and the second firewall 28 are provided for the following reasons: Up to the floor below the top floor, the first stairwell 31, which includes the first staircase 4, and the second stairwell 32, which includes the second staircase 5, can be separated by fire-resistant material 6, a fire-resistant partition wall 26, a first passageway 41, and a second passageway 61.

[0069] However, the first stairwell 31 and the second stairwell 32 are connected on the top floor. To completely isolate the first stairwell 31 and the second stairwell 32 from each other, a first firewall 27 and a second firewall 28 are provided on the top floor.

[0070] As shown in Figure 5, the first firewall 27 is installed in the first passageway 44 on the top floor, the third floor. The first firewall 27 separates the space of the first passageway 44 on the top floor, the third floor, from the space above the second staircase 67 on the second floor, which extends to the top floor.

[0071] The first firewall 27 is positioned in plan view between the first corridor 44 on the third floor and the second staircase 67 on the second floor, which extends to the top floor.

[0072] One end 27A of the first firewall 27 is connected to the fire partition wall 26. The other end 27B of the first firewall 27 is connected to the first fire compartment wall 22. The upper end of the first firewall 27 is connected to the roof section 17. The lower end of the first firewall 27 is connected to the first passage section 44 on the third floor.

[0073] As shown in Figure 5, the second firewall 28 is installed in the second passageway 64 on the third floor, which is the top floor. The second firewall 28 separates the space of the second passageway 64 on the third floor, which is the top floor, from the space above the first staircase 47 on the second floor, which extends to the top floor.

[0074] The second firewall 28 is positioned in plan view between the second passageway 64 on the third floor and the first staircase 47 on the second floor, which extends to the top floor.

[0075] One end 28A of the second firewall 28 is connected to the fire partition wall 26. The other end 28B of the second firewall 28 is connected to the third fire compartment wall 24. The upper end of the second firewall 28 is connected to the roof section 17. The lower end of the second firewall 28 is connected to the second passage section 64 on the third floor.

[0076] [Stairwell section] As shown in Figure 6, the stairwell 3 is divided into a first stairwell 31, which houses the first staircase 4, and a second stairwell 32, which houses the second staircase 5, by fire-resistant material 6, a fire-resistant partition wall 26, a first passageway 41, a second passageway 61, a first firewall 27, and a second firewall 28. In Figure 6, the area indicated by the black dots represents the first stairwell 31, which houses the first staircase 4.

[0077] [Operation of this embodiment] The operation of this embodiment will now be explained. The first staircase 4 and the second staircase 5 are housed within a single stairwell 3. Fire-resistant material 6 is placed under the first staircase section 45 and under the second staircase section 65, respectively. Since flames rise from below, the fire-resistant material 6 placed under the first staircase section 45 and under the second staircase section 65 suppresses heating by the flames. As a result, the building 1 can prevent the first staircase section 45 and the second staircase section 65 from burning down simultaneously due to heat, thanks to the fire-resistant material 6 placed under the first staircase section 45 and under the second staircase section 65, respectively.

[0078] [Effects of this embodiment] The effects of this embodiment will now be explained. (1) The building 1 comprises a first staircase 4 and a second staircase 5. The first staircase 4 and the second staircase 5 are housed in a single stairwell 3. Fire-resistant material 6 is placed under the first staircase section 45 and under the second staircase section 65, respectively. Since flames rise from below, the fire-resistant material 6 placed under the first staircase section 45 and under the second staircase section 65 suppresses heating by the flames. As a result, the fire-resistant material 6 placed under the first staircase section 45 and under the second staircase section 65 of the building 1 prevents the first staircase section 45 and the second staircase section 65 from burning down simultaneously due to heat.

[0079] (2) The building 1 further includes fire-resistant partition walls 26 positioned between the multiple first stair sections 45 and the multiple second stair sections 65. This prevents the fire from spreading from one of the first stair sections 45 to the other if a fire occurs in one of the second stair sections 65.

[0080] (3) In building 1, the first passageway section 41 and the second passageway section 61 are made of concrete. This prevents the spread of fire from one of the spaces above and below the first passageway section 41 to the other. It also prevents the spread of fire from one of the spaces above and below the second passageway section 61 to the other.

[0081] (4) The building 1 further includes a first firewall 27 and a second firewall 28. The first firewall 27 is provided in the first passageway 44 on the third floor, the top floor. The second firewall 28 is provided in the second passageway 64 on the third floor, the top floor. The stairwell 3 is divided into a first stairwell 31 and a second stairwell 32 by fireproofing material 6, a fireproof partition wall 26, a first passageway 41, a second passageway 61, the first firewall 27, and the second firewall 28. This prevents the spread of fire from one of the first stairwell 31 and the second stairwell 32 to the other. Also, if a fire occurs in one of the first stairwell 45 and the second stairwell 65, it prevents the fire from spreading from one to the other.

[0082] (5) In building 1, the first staircase 4 is configured in a spiral shape in plan view, and the second staircase 5 is configured in a spiral shape in plan view. This makes it possible to reduce the volume occupied by the first staircase 4 in building 1 compared to when the first staircase 4 is not configured in a spiral shape. Also, it makes it possible to reduce the volume occupied by the second staircase 5 in building 1 compared to when the second staircase 5 is not configured in a spiral shape.

[0083] (6) In building 1, the fire-resistant material 6 has a first end 84 and a second end 85. The first end 84 is in contact with the fire compartment wall 21. The second end 85 is in contact with the fire partition wall 26. This prevents flames from entering the space S between the first staircase 45 and the fire-resistant material 6 or the space S between the second staircase 65 and the fire-resistant material 6.

[0084] (7) With respect to the building 1, the fire-resistant material 6 is fixed to the first stair section 45 and the second stair section 65 respectively by connecting members 91. The connecting member 91 in the first stair section 45 is positioned in the space S between the first stair section 45 and the fire-resistant material 6. The connecting member 91 in the second stair section 65 is positioned in the space S between the second stair section 65 and the fire-resistant material 6. This prevents the connecting members 91 from being exposed to flames. In addition, this prevents the fire-resistant material 6 from falling due to deterioration of the connecting members 91 caused by flames.

Building 1 may take forms different from those illustrated in the above embodiments. Examples include forms in which some of the configurations of the embodiments are replaced, modified, or omitted, or forms in which new configurations are added to the embodiments. Modifications of the embodiments are shown below.

[0086] The location of the stairwell 3 in building 1 is not limited to this embodiment. In this embodiment, it was located in the center of building 1, but it may be located at the edge of building 1.

[0087] In building 1 of this embodiment, the first floor is the evacuation floor, but the evacuation floor is not limited to being on the first floor. The evacuation floor may also be on the second floor.

[0088] In this embodiment, the first passage section 41 and the second passage section 61 are located only at the same positions as the floors of each level, but the first passage section 41 and the second passage section 61 may also be provided between each level in the height direction.

[0089] In this embodiment, the fire-resistant material 6 is composed of two fire-resistant boards 81, but the composition of the fire-resistant material 6 is not limited to this. For example, the fire-resistant material 6 may be formed by laminating three or more fire-resistant boards 81.
