Study on intelligent fire investigation in steel structure by spectral imaging technology

Steel structure has been widely used in modern buildings because of its excellent building performance such as lightness, low-cost. However, the poor fire resistant of steel structure can lead to a lot of hidden troubles including life safety and economic losses, cause the construction of steel structure become a key research direction in fire investigationwork. Currently, the experts for fire investigation have to analyse the surface trace of the steel evidence after the fire throughempirical data by person because of the lack of intelligent methods and equipment, which have a great influence on the investigation efficiency. This article proposes an intelligent detection method for steel structure fire traces based spectral imaging technology. The surface spectrum and morphology information of heated steel structure can be collected through standard spectral imaging equipment in 400-1000nm, then establishing the connections between the highest temperature or time and its feature of spectral imaging data. More than 150 groups of steel plate samples were prepared in various temperature including 100 ℃ to 1200 °C by muffle furnace and stacking fire in the experiment. The spectral imaging data can be obtained and imported to the classification and recognition algorithm, 90%of the samples conditions can be identified recognized accurately. The results indicate that spectral imaging technology can effectively assist in the development of fire investigation work by quickly and intelligently identifying fire traces, and has good application prospects in the field of fire investigation.
