Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members - Part 4: Applied passive protection to steel members

This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the contribution made by applied passive fire protection systems to the fire resistance of structural steel members, which can be used as beams or columns. It considers only sections without openings in the web. It is not directly applicable to structural tension members without further evaluation. Results from analysis of I or H -sections are directly applicable to angles, channels and T-sections for the same section factor, whether used as individual elements or as bracing. This European Standard does not apply to solid bar or rod. This European standard covers fire protection systems that involve only passive materials and not to reactive fire protection materials as defined in this document. The evaluation is designed to cover a range of thicknesses of the applied fire protection material, a range of steel sections, characterized by their section factors, a range of design temperatures and a range of valid fire protection classification periods. This European standard contains the fire test procedures, which specifies the tests which should be carried out to determine the ability of the fire protection system to remain coherent and attached to the steelwork, and to provide data on the thermal characteristics of the fire protection system, when exposed to the standard temperature/time curve specified in EN 1363-1. The fire test methodology makes provision for the collection and presentation of data, which can be used as direct input to the calculation of fire resistance of steel structural members in accordance with the procedures given in EN 1993-1-2 and EN 1994-1-2. This European standard also contains the assessment, which prescribes how the analysis of the test data shall be made and gives guidance on the procedures by which interpolation should be undertaken. The assessment procedure is used to establish: a) on the basis of temperature data derived from testing loaded and unloaded sections, a correction factor and any practical constraints on the use of the fire protection system under fire test conditions, (the physical performance); b) on the basis of the temperature data derived from testing short steel sections, the thermal properties of the fire protection system, (the thermal performance). The limits of applicability of the results of the assessment arising from the fire test are defined, together with permitted direct application of the results to different steel sections and grades and to the fire protection system. The results of the test and assessment obtained according to this European standard are directly applicable to steel sections of I and H cross sectional shape and hollow sections.

Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages zum Feuerwiderstand von tragenden Bauteilen - Teil 4: Passive Brandschutzmaßnahmen für Stahlbauteile

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages von passiven Brandschutzsystemen zum Feuerwiderstand von tragenden Stahlbauteilen fest, die als Träger oder Stützen verwendet werden können. Er berücksichtigt nur Profile ohne Öffnungen im Steg. Auf Zugträger ist eine direkte Anwendung nicht ohne eine weitere Beurteilung möglich. Ergebnisse der Analyse von I  oder H Profilen sind direkt auf Winkelstücke, U-Profile und T-Profile für denselben Profilfaktor anwendbar, wobei sie als Einzelbauteile oder als Verband verwendet werden können. Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Vollstangen oder Rundstäbe.
Diese Europäische Norm bezieht sich auf Brandschutzsysteme, die nur passive und keine reaktiven Brandschutzmaterialien enthalten, wie in diesem Dokument beschrieben.
Die Bewertung ist so konzipiert, dass sie einen Bereich von Dicken des Brandschutzmaterials, einen Bereich von Stahlquerschnitten, die durch ihre Profilfaktoren beschrieben sind, einen Bereich von Bemessungstempe¬raturen sowie einen Gültigkeitsbereich von Klassifizierungszeiten der Brandschutzmaßnahme umfasst.
Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt die Prüfverfahren für die Brandprüfungen, die zur Bestimmung der Formstabilität des Brandschutzsystems und seines Haftvermögens auf Stahlbauteilen sowie zur Ermittlung der thermischen Eigenschaften des Brandschutzsystems bei Beanspruchung unter den Bedingungen der Einheits-Temperaturzeitkurve nach EN 1363-1 durchgeführt werden sollten.
Das Brandprüfverfahren erlaubt die Ermittlung und Darstellung von Messwerten, die als direkte Eingangs-werte zur Berechnung der Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit von tragenden Stahlbauteilen nach den in EN 1993-1-2 und EN 1994-1-2 angegebenen Verfahren anwendbar sind.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält darüber hinaus die Beurteilung, die festlegt, wie die Analyse der Messwerte durchzuführen ist, sowie Hinweise zu den Verfahren, nach denen die Interpolation durchgeführt werden sollte.
Das Verfahren der Beurteilung wird angewendet, um:
a)   auf Grund der Temperaturmesswerte, die sich aus den Prüfungen von belasteten und unbelasteten Profilen ergeben, einen Korrekturfaktor zu ermitteln sowie etwaige praktische Einschränkungen zur Anwendung der Brandschutzsysteme unter Brandbeanspruchungsbedingungen anzugeben (physika-lisches Verhalten);
b)   auf Grund der Temperaturmesswerte, die sich aus Prüfungen an kurzen Stahlprofilen ergeben, die thermischen Eigenschaften des Brandschutzsystems zu ermitteln (thermisches Verhalten).
Die Grenzen der Anwendbarkeit der anhand der Brandprüfung erhaltenen Beurteilungsergebnisse sind in Ver¬bindung mit der zulässigen direkten Anwendung der Ergebnisse auf unterschiedliche Stahlquerschnitte und Stahlgüten sowie auf unterschiedliche Brandschutzsysteme festgelegt.
Die Ergebnisse der nach dieser Europäischen Norm durchgeführten Prüfung und Beurteilung sind direkt auf I- und H-Stahlprofile und Hohlprofile anwendbar.

Méthodes d'essai pour déterminer la contribution à la résistance au feu des éléments de construction - Partie 4 : Protection passive appliquée aux éléments en acier

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d’essai permettant de déterminer la contribution apportée par l'application de systèmes passifs de protection au feu aux éléments de construction en acier pouvant être utilisés comme des poutres ou des poteaux. Elle ne prend en compte que les tronçons ne comportant pas d'ouverture dans l'âme. Elle ne s'applique pas directement aux éléments précontraints sans évaluation supplémentaire. Les résultats des analyses des tronçons en I ou H s'appliquent directement aux cornières, profilés en U et tronçons en T pour la même massiveté, qu'ils soient utilisés individuellement ou en entretoisement. La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux barres ni aux tiges pleines.
La présente Norme européenne couvre les systèmes de protection au feu qui impliquent uniquement des matériaux passifs et non les matériaux réactifs de protection au feu tels que définis dans le présent document.
L'évaluation est conçue pour couvrir une plage d'épaisseurs du matériau de protection au feu appliqué, une plage de tronçons d'acier, caractérisées par leur massiveté, une plage de températures données et une plage de durée de classification des protections au feu en cours de validité.
La présente Norme européenne comprend l'essai au feu qui spécifie les essais qu'il convient de réaliser pour déterminer l'aptitude du système de protection au feu à rester cohérent et fixé sur l’armature en acier et pour fournir des données sur les caractéristiques thermiques du système de protection au feu lorsqu'il est exposé à la courbe normalisée température/temps prescrite dans l'EN 1363-1.
La méthodologie des essais au feu comporte des dispositions concernant le recueil et la présentation de données susceptibles de servir d'entrées directes pour le calcul de la résistance au feu d'éléments de construction en acier conformément aux modes opératoires donnés dans l'EN 1993-1-2 et l'EN 1994-1-2.
La présente Norme européenne comprend également l'évaluation qui prescrit la façon d'effectuer l'analyse des données d'essai et les lignes directives des modes opératoires selon lesquels il convient d'entreprendre une interpolation.
Le mode opératoire de l'évaluation permet d'établir :
a)   d'après les températures tirées des essais effectués sur des éléments avec et sans charge, un facteur de correction et des contraintes pratiques éventuelles concernant l'utilisation du système de protection au feu dans des conditions d'essai au feu (les performances physiques) ;
b)   d'après les températures tirées des essais effectués sur des petits tronçons d'acier, les propriétés thermiques du système de protection au feu (les performances thermiques).
Les limites d'application des résultats de l'évaluation obtenus lors de l'essai au feu sont définies, ainsi que l'application directe admise des résultats aux différents tronçons et aux différentes qualités d'acier pour le système de protection au feu.
Les résultats de l'essai et de l'évaluation obtenus conformément à la présente Norme européenne s'appliquent directement aux tronçons d'acier en I et en H et aux tronçons creux.

Preskusne metode za ugotavljanje prispevka k požarni odpornosti konstrukcijskih elementov - 4. del: Zaščita jeklenih elementov

Ta evropski standard določa preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje prispevka uporabljenih pasivnih sistemov protipožarnega varstva k požarni odpornosti konstrukcijskih jeklenih elementov, ki se lahko uporabljajo kot nosilci ali stebri. Obravnava samo profile brez odprtin v kopreni. Ni neposredno uporaben za konstrukcijske natezne elemente brez nadaljnjega ocenjevanja. Rezultati analize I- ali H-profilov so neposredno uporabni za kote, kanale in T-profile za isti faktor profila ne glede na to, ali se uporabljajo kot posamezni elementi ali opora. Ta evropski standard se ne uporablja za trdno palico ali drog. Ta evropski standard zajema sisteme protipožarnega varstva, ki vključujejo samo pasivne materiale, in se ne uporablja za reaktivne protipožarne materiale, kot je določeno v tem dokumentu. Predvideno je, da ocenjevanje zajema obseg debelin uporabljenega protipožarnega materiala, obseg jeklenih profilov, ki jih označujejo njihovi faktorji, obseg načrtovanih temperatur in obseg obdobij veljavne razvrstitve protipožarne zaščite. Ta evropski standard vključuje postopke preskušanja požarne varnosti, kar določa preskuse, ki jih je treba opraviti za ugotavljanje zmožnosti sistema protipožarnega varstva glede ohranjanja skladnosti in pritrditve na jekleno konstrukcijo ter za pridobitev podatkov o toplotnih lastnostih sistema protipožarnega varstva v času izpostavljenosti standardni krivulji temperatura-čas, določeni v standardu EN 1363-1. Metodologija preskusa požarne varnosti vključuje zbiranje in predstavitev podatkov, ki se lahko neposredno vnesejo v izračun požarne odpornosti jeklenih konstrukcijskih elementov v skladu s postopki, navedenimi v standardih EN 1993-1-2 in EN 1994-1-2. Ta evropski standard prav tako vsebuje presojo, ki predpisuje način analiziranja podatkov preskusa, in navodila o postopkih, ki se nanašajo na interpolacijo. Postopek presoje se uporablja za ugotavljanje: a) korekcijskega faktorja in morebitnih praktičnih omejitev glede uporabe sistema protipožarnega varstva pod pogoji požarnega preskusa na podlagi podatkov o temperaturi, pridobljenih pri preskušanju delovanja obremenjenih in neobremenjenih profilov (fizično delovanje); b) toplotne lastnosti sistema protipožarnega varstva na podlagi podatkov o temperaturi, pridobljenih pri preskušanju delovanja kratkih jeklenih profilov (toplotno delovanje). Določijo se omejitve uporabnosti rezultatov presoje na podlagi požarnega preskusa skupaj z dovoljeno neposredno uporabo rezultatov za različne jeklene profile in razrede ter sistem protipožarnega varstva. Rezultati preskusa in presoje, pridobljeni v skladu s tem evropskim standardom, so neposredno uporabni za jeklene profile prerezne oblike I in H ter votle profile.

EN 13381-4:2013 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 13381-4:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2013, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 2013. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes ENV 13381-4:2002. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. With respect to the previous version, the following changes have been made:  A change has been made to the test method to introduce of a means allowing loaded beams to reach a deflection of L/30.
 In addition the graphical assessment method now includes a point to point method of constructing lines and a new virtual data point related to furnace temperature. This document is compatible with EN 13381-8 and specifically deals with the testing and assessment of passive fire protection systems (sprays, renderings, mat products and boards) designed to protect structural steel.
This document is part of the EN 13381 series with the general title Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members. Other parts of this series are: — Part 1: Horizontal protective membranes; — Part 2: Vertical protective membranes; — Part 3: Applied protection to concrete member; — Part 4: Applied passive protection to steel members (the present document); — Part 5: Applied protection to concrete/profile sheet steel and composite members; — Part 6: Applied protection to concrete filled steel composite members; — Part 7: Applied protection to timber members; — Part 8: Applied reactive protection to steel members. CAUTION — The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire resistance test, is drawn to the fact that fire testing can be hazardous and that there is a possibility that toxic and/or harmful smoke and gases can be evolved during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards can also arise during the construction of test elements or structures, their testing and the disposal of test residues. An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions should be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be issued. Appropriate training should be given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should SIST EN 13381-4:2013

The evaluation is designed to cover a range of thicknesses of the applied fire protection material, a range of steel sections, characterised by their section factors, a range of design temperatures and a range of valid fire protection classification periods. This European Standard contains the fire test procedures, which specifies the tests which should be carried out to determine the ability of the fire protection system to remain coherent and attached to the steelwork, and to provide data on the thermal characteristics of the fire protection system, when exposed to the standard temperature/time curve specified in EN 1363-1. The fire test methodology makes provision for the collection and presentation of data, which can be used as direct input to the calculation of fire resistance of steel structural members in accordance with the procedures given in EN 1993-1-2 and EN 1994-1-2.
