Abstract
This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on the thermal response of composite slabs under fire condition, considering various slab geometries. Fire tests were conducted on six composite slabs to obtain the temperature distributions exposed to the ISO 834 standard fire curve for a duration of 210 min. The results indicated that the depth of the concrete significantly affects the temperature of the unexposed surface, while the height of the steel deck has minimal impact. During heating, water vapor and condensation occurred on all tested slabs, causing a delay in the early temperature development of the concrete. The temperature distribution across slab cross-sections was subsequently calculated using numerical simulations. The numerical models were then validated using experimental data. The challenge of precisely simulating the interface between steel deck and concrete was resolved in this numerical model.
期刊介绍:
Fire Technology publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety science and engineering. It is the leading journal in the field, publishing applied research dealing with the full range of actual and potential fire hazards facing humans and the environment. It covers the entire domain of fire safety science and engineering problems relevant in industrial, operational, cultural, and environmental applications, including modeling, testing, detection, suppression, human behavior, wildfires, structures, and risk analysis.
The aim of Fire Technology is to push forward the frontiers of knowledge and technology by encouraging interdisciplinary communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community at large.
It is published in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). The mission of NFPA is to help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge, and passion. The mission of SFPE is advancing the science and practice of fire protection engineering internationally.
