It is assumed that there is an ideal thermal contact between them, and the law of changing the ambient temperature, which rinses the surface of the structure, is an arbitrary function of time, and evenly distributed over the surface. Consequently, isotherms inside this construction are concentric circles, that is, the problem is symmetric and is solved for the first time in such a statement. To solve such a problem, the auxiliary problem of determining the distribution of a non-stationary temperature field in a two-layer hollow cylindrical structure with a \"withdrawn\" cylinder of sufficiently small radius is raised in parallel. In this case the symmetry condition of the original problem is replaced by the condition of the second kind on the inner surface of this construction. The implementation of the solution of the auxiliary problem is carried out by applying a reduction method using the concept of quasi-derivatives. In the future, the Fourier scheme is used with the use of the modified eigenfunctions method. To find the solution of the original problem, the idea of the boundary transition is used by passing the radius of the withdrawn cylinder to zero. It is established that in this approach all the eigenfunctions of the corresponding problem on the eigenvalues have no singularities at zero, which means that the solutions of the original problem are constrained throughout the design. In order to illustrate the proposed method, a model example of finding the temperature field distribution in a column of a circular cross-section (concrete in a steel shell) is solved under the influence of the standard temperature regime of the fire. The results of the calculations are presented in a bulk schedule of temperature changes, depending on time and spatial coordinates. The generalization of the results obtained in the case of any finite number of cylindrical shells is a purely technical problem, and not a fundamental one. Note that while changing the boundary condition of the third kind to any other boundary condition (for example, the first kind) does not affect the scheme of solving similar tasks. Since the general scheme of studying the distribution of temperature fields in multi-layered structures with an arbitrary number of layers in the presence of internal sources of heat is studied in detail, the setting and solving of such problems for the system of \"solid cylinder inside a cylindrical shell\" is not without difficulty.","PeriodicalId":12280,"journal":{"name":"Fire Safety","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84909282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence of protective coatings on the basis of polysiloxane-filled oxide components on fire resistance of aluminum alloys is investigated in the work. The choice of the initial compositions for fire protection coatings was carried out with the aim of obtaining of expanded heat-insulating heatresistant layer on the surface of an aluminum alloy at temperatures of 473 K and higher. The methods of physico-chemical analysis have established that when heated more than 473 K as a result of thermo oxidative degradation of polysiloxane with the release of gaseous products, there is an expanding coating with the formation of a fire-proof porous heat-insulating layer on the surface of an aluminum alloy. The coefficient of expanding the coating is within the range of 9.8 ... 12.4. The reliability of the use of physicochemical criteria when choosing the component composition of the coating and the effectiveness of the fire protection function is estimated from the results of the test on the aluminum alloy AMG6 and on the model of its thermal conductivity. 20 Пожежна безпека, №34, 2019 A model of thermal conductivity of a protective coating is proposed, which consists of a layer that limits heat transfer through a two-layer wall. When exposed to the aluminum plate of the heat flow, it is heated to the depth of the coating, which leads to its expanding and the formation of a thermal barrier. The dynamics of temperature distribution during a fire on the protective coating of an aluminum alloy is predicted by simulating the heat transfer process in a homogeneous solid by a mathematical model. The theoretical and practical researches have established the dependence of the parameter of heating the protected aluminum alloy to the critical temperature, depending on the thickness of the coating. The presence on the surface of a protected alloy coating, based on the filled polysiloxane, changes the process of heat transfer to its surface, which increases the fire resistance of the structure by 3 ...4 times.","PeriodicalId":12280,"journal":{"name":"Fire Safety","volume":"221 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76657795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Classification of prefabricated systems of facade insulation is performed depending on the design decision, as well as on the main features in accordance with: the type of applied insulation material; a method of fastening a heat-insulating layer; composition of the base plaster layer; kind of decorative protective layer. The structure of prefabricated systems with complete sets of insulation with prefabrication of light, thick-layer plaster or fine-wares products is represented. The peculiarities of the processes that occur during combustion of the thermal insulation and finishing system of the outer walls of residential buildings are analyzed and revealed. Typical scenarios of fire spreading are presented with a surface of the design of external walls with a facade heat insulation with a fuel heater and a stucco coating. The mechanism of propagation of fire through a window opening by a surface of a facade heat insulation on the basis of foam polystyrene is described. The conclusion is made that the use of structures of exterior walls of residential buildings with facade insulation with combustible insulant and stucco coating significantly increases their level of fire hazard. This danger will depend on both the properties of individual materials (including insulant), as well as on the design features of the entire thermal insulation system and the building as a whole. For plaster systems, the thermal insulation of facades is a major threat to the rapid spread of fires on the floors above and below the building. The most common causes of thermal insulation fires is the transfer of fire from the windows during intense fire inside the rooms.","PeriodicalId":12280,"journal":{"name":"Fire Safety","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84805808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Minimizing the consequences of fires is the problem of particular importance for the cities of Ukraine. Closed and open warehouses in industrial enterprises are the buildings of the highest risk. Due to the results of the analysis, the problem is that insufficient consideration is given to the provision of fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities. Proceeding from the above it is possible to state that the elaboration of the main directions of provision of fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities is very important. The goal of the work. To develop a methodology for providing fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities taking into account the fire risk. Tasks setting and their solution. To ensure the fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities, the following tasks must be addressed as a priority: 1) to develop a classification of industrial warehouse facilities for the possible grouping of fire-prevention means for protection of such facilities during fires; 2) to develop mathematical dependencies for determining the required number of fire-prevention means for industrial warehouse facilities; 3) to develop a methodology for providing fire protection of industrial warehouse facilities taking into account the fire risk. To solve the first problem, recommendations were taken into account, on the basis of which the scheme of classification of industrial warehouse facilities was developed. In order to solve the second task in the first stage, all necessary fire protection facilities were determined to ensure the fire safety of industrial warehouse facilities. After accepting all necessary fire-fighting equipment for the provision of fire safety of industrial warehouse facilities, mathematical dependencies have been developed to determine their required quantity. To solve the third task the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated February 29, 2012, № 306 was used. Taking into account the above mentioned fire protection systems, mathematical models of fire risk calculation for closed, semi-closed and open industrial and warehouse facilities were developed. Conclusions and specific suggestions: 1. The mathematical models of fire risks for closed, semi-closed and open industrial warehouse facilities are given, which make it possible to develop a methodology for determining the optimal amount of fire-fighting equipment and thereby provide fire protection for these objects. 2. To optimize the choice of the required number of fire-fighting equipment, it is necessary to establish an optimization criterion that would be based on the determined direct losses from the fire, expenses of the fire and rescue units for the elimination of fire and expenses for fire protection. 3. The developed mathematical models of fire risks require further improvement with the aim of their introduction and use on the basis of information technologies.

Neglecting to take a high risk of a hazardous event leads to excessive damage and large irreparable losses that a person or community cannot achieve sustainable development.
