Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members - Part 3: Applied protection to concrete members

This specifies the test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members for applied protection to concrete members.

Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages zum Feuerwiderstand von tragenden Bauteilen - Teil 3: Brandschutzmaßnahmen für Betonbauteile

Dieser Teil dieser Europäischen Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages von
Brandschutzsystemen zur Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit tragender Betonbauteile fest, z. B. Platten, Decken,
Dächer und Wände, die integrierte Balken und Stützen enthalten können. Der Beton kann Leichtbeton,
Normalbeton oder Schwerbeton der Festigkeitsklassen 20/25 (LC/C/HC) bis 50/60 (LC/C/HC) sein. Das
Bauteil kann Bewehrungsstähle enthalten.
Das Prüfverfahren gilt für alle Brandschutzmaterialien, die für den Schutz der Betonbauteile verwendet
werden, und beinhaltet aufgesprühte Materialien, Beschichtungen, Bekleidungsschutzsysteme und Mehrschicht-
oder Verbundsysteme mit einem Spalt von höchstens 5 mm zwischen dem Brandschutzmaterial und
dem Betonbauteil. Andernfalls gelten je nach Erfordernis die Prüfverfahren nach prEN 13381-1 oder
prEN 13381-2.
Diese Europäische Norm beinhaltet die Brandprüfung, die die Prüfverfahren festlegt, die durchgeführt werden
sollten, um die Fähigkeit des Brandschutzmaterials zu bestimmen, mit dem Beton fest verbunden zu bleiben,
und um Daten über die Temperaturverteilung im geschützten Betonbauteil zu liefern, wenn dieses der
Einheits-Temperaturzeitkurve ausgesetzt wird.
Unter besonderen Umständen, die in nationalen Bauvorschriften festgelegt sind, kann es erforderlich sein,
das Brandschutzmaterial einer Schwelbrandkurve zu unterziehen. Die diesbezügliche Prüfung und die
besonderen Umstände für deren Anwendung sind in Anhang A angegeben.
Die Methodologie der Brandprüfung bietet die Möglichkeit, Messwerte zu erfassen und darzustellen, die direkt
als Eingangswerte zur Berechnung des Feuerwiderstandes von Betonbauteilen entsprechend den Verfahren
nach EN 1992-1-2 verwendet werden können.

Foreword
This document (prEN 13381-3:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire
safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede ENV 13381-3:2002.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of 89/106/EEC.
This European Standard is one of a series of standards for evaluating the contribution to the fire
resistance of structural members by applied fire protection materials. Other parts of this standard are:
Part 1: Horizontal protective membranes.
Part 2: Vertical protective membranes.
Part 4: Applied protection to steel members.
Part 5: Applied protection to concrete/profiled sheet steel composite members.
Part 6: Applied protection to concrete filled hollow steel columns.
Part 7: Applied protection to timber members.
Annexes A, B and C are normative.
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 shall be made and safety precautions shall
be identified and provided. Written safety instructions shall be issued. Appropriate training shall be
given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel shall ensure that they follow written safety
instructions at all times.
The specific health and safety instructions contained within this Standard shall be followed.

1 Scope
This part of this European Standard specifies a test method for determining the contribution of fire
protection systems to the fire resistance of structural concrete members, for instance slabs, floors,
roofs and walls and which can include integral beams and columns. The concrete can be lightweight,
normalweight or heavyweight concrete and of strength classes 20/25 (LC/C/HC) to 50/60 (LC/C/HC).
The member can contain steel reinforcing bars.
The test method is applicable to all fire protection materials used for the protection of concrete
members and includes sprayed materials, coatings, cladding protection systems and multi-layer or
composite fire protection materials, when the gap between the fire protection material and the
concrete member is less than 5 mm. Otherwise the test methods in prEN 13381-1 or prEN 13381-2,
as appropriate, apply.
This European Standard contains the fire test which specifies the tests which shall be carried out to
determine the ability of the fire protection material to remain coherent and fixed to the concrete and to
provide data on the temperature distribution throughout the protected concrete member, when
exposed to the standard temperature time curve.
In special circumstances, where specified in national building regulations, there can be a need to
subject the protection material to a smouldering curve. The test for this and the special circumstances
for its use are detailed in Annex A.
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 concrete members in accordance with the
procedures given in EN 1992-1-2.
This European Standard also contains the assessment which prescribes how the analysis of the test
data shall be made and gives guidance to the procedures by which interpolation shall be undertaken.
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 concrete structures, densities,
strengths, thicknesses and production techniques over the range of thicknesses of the applied fire
protection system tested.

4 Test equipment
4.1 General
The furnace and test equipment shall be as specified in EN 1363-1.
4.2 Furnace
The furnace shall be designed to permit the dimensions of the test specimen to be exposed to heating
to be as specified in 6.2 and its installation to be as specified in Clause 7.
4.3 Loading equipment
Loading shall be applied according to EN 1363-1. The loading system shall permit loading, of the
magnitude defined in 5.3, to be applied along the length and width of the test specimen.
The loading equipment shall not inhibit the free movement of air above the test specimen and no part
of the loading equipment, other than at the loading points, shall be closer than 60 mm to the
unexposed surface of the test specimen.
5 Test conditions
5.1 General
Test specimens, subjected to predefined loading, are heated upon a furnace in horizontal orientation
to provide information on each of the following:
 the temperature distribution within the concrete test member;
 the behaviour of the fire protection system and its stickability;
 the behaviour of the test specimen with respect to specified performance criteria.
It is recommended that the test be continued until the mean temperature upon the main reinforcing
bars within the concrete reaches 700 °C, or any single maximum value of 750 °C is recorded, to give
the necessary information on the stickability of the fire protection system. However, these
temperatures may be modified if requested by the sponsor.
If the recommended termination temperatures are not reached after 6 hours test duration, the test
shall normally be terminated.
The procedures given in EN 1363-1 and, if applicable, EN 1363-2, shall be followed in the
performance of this test method unless specific contrary instruction is given herein.
