Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members - Part 6: Applied protection to concrete filled hollow steel columns

This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the contribution of fire protection systems to the fire resistance of structural concrete filled hollow steel columns. The concrete can be lightweight, normal-weight or heavyweight concrete, and of all the strength classes provided for in EN 1994-1-2. The use of a dry sand is considered to be an alternative, conservative approach to the use of wet concrete. A specification for dry sand is given in 5.6.3.
The method is applicable to all fire protection systems used for the protection of concrete filled hollow columns and includes sprayed fire protection, reactive coatings, cladding protection systems and multi-layer or composite fire protection materials.
If there is no hollow section data from EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8, this European Standard cannot be used. For passive systems, this data can be derived using the Formula in Annex A of EN 13381-4:2002.  
Testing to this European Standard is not required if the fire protection thicknesses for hollow sections derived from EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8 are to be used for concrete filled hollow sections.
The evaluation is designed to cover a range of thicknesses of the applied fire protection material, a range of steel sections, characterized by their diameters and wall thicknesses, a range of design temperatures and a range of valid fire protection classification periods.
The test method is applicable to fire protection systems which are intimately in contact with the structural column, or which include an airspace between the structural column and the protection system.
This European Standard specifies the fire tests which are carried out to determine the ability of the fire protection system to provide fire protection to composite columns. The tests produce data on the average steel temperatures of the composite column, when exposed to the time/temperature curve according to the procedures defined herein. This European Standard also provides the assessment procedure, which prescribes how the analysis of the test data should be made and gives guidance on the procedures by which interpolation is undertaken.
In special circumstances, where specified in national building regulations, there can be a need to subject reactive protection material to a smouldering curve. The test for this and the special circumstances for its use are detailed in EN 13381-8. This exposure, applicable to reactive fire protection materials, is used only in special circumstances (which are specified in the national building regulations of a member state of the European Union) and is therefore not intended to be mandatory for all fire protection materials applied to concrete filled hollow steel columns.
This European Standard ignores any contribution from the concrete to the structural capability of the hollow column and therefore only deals with thermal performance. The justification for using this approach is given in Annex B.
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/steel composite members in accordance with the procedures given in EN 1994-1-2.
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/concrete composite columns, steel types and thicknesses, concrete densities, strengths, thicknesses and production techniques over the range of thicknesses of the applied fire protection system tested.
This European Standard details the fire test procedures, which should be carried out to provide data on the thermal characteristics of the fire protection system, when exposed to the European Standard temperature/time curve specified in EN 1363-1.
The assessment procedure is used to establish:
a)   on the basis of temperature data derived from testing concrete (...)

Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages zum Feuerwiderstand von tragenden Bauteilen - Teil 6: Brandschutzmaßnahmen für betonverfüllte Stahlverbund-Hohlstützen

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrags von Brandschutzsystemen zur Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit von tragenden betonverfüllten Stahlverbund-Hohlstützen fest. Der Beton kann Leichtbeton, Normalbeton oder Schwerbeton aller in EN 1994 1 2 angegebenen Festigkeitsklassen sein. Alternativ wird die Verwendung von trockenem Sand als konservativer Ansatz gegenüber der Verwendung von Frischbeton betrachtet. Eine Spezifikation des trockenen Sandes ist in 5.6.3 angegeben.
Das Verfahren gilt für alle Brandschutzsysteme, die für den Schutz von betonverfüllten Stahlverbund Hohlstützen verwendet werden, und beinhaltet aufgesprühte Brandschutzmaterialien, reaktive Ummantelungen, Beschichtungsschutzsysteme und Mehrschicht- oder Verbund-Brandschutzmaterialien.
Wenn keine Hohlprofilangaben nach prEN 13381 4 (Überarbeitung von ENV 13381-4:2002) oder prEN 13381 8 (Überarbeitung von EN 13381-8:2010) vorliegen, kann diese Europäische Norm nicht angewendet werden. Für passive Brandschutzsysteme können diese Angaben mithilfe der Gleichung in prEN 13381 4 (Überarbeitung von ENV 13381-4:2002); Anhang A, hergeleitet werden.
Eine Prüfung nach dieser Europäischen Norm ist nicht erforderlich, wenn die aus prEN 13381 4 (Überarbeitung von ENV 13381-4:2002) oder prEN 13381 8 (Überarbeitung von EN 13381-8:2010)  abgeleiteten Dicken des Brandschutzmaterials auf betonverfüllte Hohlprofile angewendet werden sollen.
Die Beurteilung ist so ausgelegt, dass ein Bereich von Dicken des aufgebrachten Brandschutzmaterials, ein Bereich von Stahlprofilen, die durch ihre Durchmesser und Wanddicken gekennzeichnet sind, ein Bereich von Bemessungstemperaturen und ein Bereich gültiger Brandschutz-Klassifizierungszeiten abgedeckt wird.
Das Prüfverfahren gilt für Brandschutzsysteme, die direkt mit der tragenden Stütze in Berührung stehen, oder bei denen zwischen der tragenden Stütze und dem Brandschutzsystem ein Hohlraum vorhanden ist.
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Brandprüfungen fest, die durchgeführt werden, um die Fähigkeit des Brandschutzsystems zu ermitteln, Brandschutz für Verbundstützen zu bieten. Die Prüfungen liefern Daten über die mittleren Stahltemperaturen der Verbundstütze, wenn diese der Zeit-Temperatur-Kurve nach den hierin festgelegten Verfahren ausgesetzt wird. Diese Europäische Norm enthält auch das Bewertungsverfahren, in dem festgelegt wird, wie die Analyse der Prüfdaten durchgeführt werden sollte, und bietet eine Anleitung bezüglich der Verfahren, mit denen die Interpolation erfolgt.
Unter besonderen Umständen, die in nationalen Bauvorschriften festgelegt sind, kann es erforderlich sein, das reaktive Brandschutzmaterial einer Schwelbrandkurve zu unterziehen. Die diesbezügliche Prüfung und die besonderen Umstände für deren Anwendung sind in prEN 13381 8 (Überarbeitung von EN 13381-8:2010)  ausführlich beschrieben. Diese Schwelbrandbeanspruchung, die für reaktive Brandschutzmaterialien gilt, wird nur unter besonderen Umständen (die in den nationalen Bauvorschriften eines Mitgliedstaates der Europäischen Union festgelegt sind) verwendet und wird daher nicht für alle Brandschutzmaterialien, die für betonverfüllte Stahlverbund-Hohlstützen angewendet werden, vorgeschrieben.
Diese Europäische Norm berücksichtigt nicht den möglichen Beitrag des Betons zur statischen Festigkeit der Hohlstütze und behandelt daher ausschließlich die wärmetechnische Leistungsfähigkeit. Die Begründung für diesen Ansatz ist Anhang B zu entnehmen.
Die Methodologie der Brandprüfung gibt die Möglichkeit, Messwerte zu erfassen und darzustellen, die direkt als Eingangswerte zur Berechnung des Feuerwiderstandes von Beton-/Stahl-Verbundbauteilen entsprechend den Verfahren nach EN 1994-1-2 verwendet werden können.

Méthodes d'essai pour déterminer la contribution à la résistance au feu des éléments de construction — Partie 6 : Protection appliquée aux poteaux métalliques creux remplis de béton

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d’essai permettant de déterminer la contribution apportée par les systèmes de protection au feu à la résistance au feu des poteaux métalliques creux remplis de béton. Le béton peut être de type léger, normal ou compact et appartenir aux classes de résistance aux contraintes prévues dans l’EN 1994-1-2. L’utilisation d’un sable sec est considérée comme une approche alternative sécuritaire à l’utilisation de béton humide. Une spécification pour le sable sec est donnée en 5.6.3.
La méthode d’essai est applicable à tous les systèmes de protection au feu utilisés pour protéger les poteaux creux remplis de béton et englobe les matériaux de protection au feu appliqués par pulvérisation, les revêtements réactifs, les systèmes de protection en plaque et les matériaux de protection au feu multicouches ou composites.
La présente Norme européenne ne peut pas être utilisée en l’absence de données relatives aux tronçons creux dans le prEN 13381-4 (révision de l’ENV 13381-4 :2002) ou le prEN 13381-8 (révision de l’EN 13381 8 :2010). Pour les systèmes passifs, ces données peuvent être calculées à l’aide de la formule de l’Annexe A du prEN 13381-4 (révision de l’ENV 13381-4 :2002).
Il n’est pas nécessaire de réaliser les essais selon la présente Norme européenne si les épaisseurs de protection au feu des tronçons creux issues du prEN 13381-4 (révision de l’ENV 13381-4 :2002) ou du prEN 13381-8 (révision de l’EN 13381 8 :2010) vont être utilisées pour les tronçons creux remplis de béton.
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 leurs diamètres et épaisseurs de paroi, une plage de températures de calcul et une plage de durées de classification des protections au feu en cours de validité.
La méthode d’essai est applicable aux systèmes de protection au feu qui se trouvent en étroit contact avec le poteau ou qui comprennent un espace d’air entre le poteau et le système de protection.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les essais au feu menés à bien pour déterminer l’aptitude du système de protection au feu à fournir une protection au feu aux poteaux mixtes. Les essais produisent des données concernant les températures moyennes de l’acier du poteau mixte, lorsque ce poteau est exposé au feu suivant la courbe de température/temps, conformément aux procédures définies dans le présent document. La présente Norme européenne contient également le mode opératoire d’évaluation qui prescrit la façon dont il convient d’effectuer l’analyse des données d’essai et les lignes directrices des modes opératoires selon lesquels une interpolation est entreprise.
Dans des cas particuliers, tels que spécifiés dans la réglementation nationale de la construction, il peut s’avérer nécessaire de soumettre le matériau de protection réactif à une courbe de feu couvant. Ce type d’essai et les cas particuliers pour son utilisation sont décrits dans le prEN 13381-8 (révision de l’EN 13381 8 :2010). Cette exposition au feu, applicable aux matériaux de protection au feu de type réactif, n’est utilisée que dans des cas particuliers, spécifiés dans la réglementation nationale de la construction d’un État membre de l’Union Européenne. Par conséquent, elle n’est pas destinée à devenir obligatoire pour tous les matériaux de protection au feu appliqués aux poteaux métalliques creux remplis de béton.
La présente Norme européenne ignore toute contribution du béton à la capacité structurelle du poteau creux et ne traite donc que des performances thermiques. La justification de l’utilisation de cette approche est donnée à l’Annexe B.

Preskusne metode za ugotavljanje prispevka k požarni odpornosti konstrukcijskih elementov - 6. del: Zaščita votlih jeklenih stebrov s polnilom iz betona

Ta evropski standard določa preskusno metodo za ugotavljanje prispevka sistemov protipožarnega varstva k požarni odpornosti konstrukcijskih votlih jeklenih stebrov s polnilom iz betona. Beton je lahko lahek, normalen ali težek in katerega koli razreda trdnosti, navedenega v standardu EN 1994-1-2. Poleg konzervativnega pristopa – uporabe mokrega betona, obstaja tudi možnost uporabe suhega peska. Specifikacija za suhi pesek je navedena v 5.6.3. Ta metoda velja za vse sisteme protipožarnega varstva, ki se uporabljajo za zaščito votlih jeklenih stebrov s polnilom iz betona, in vključuje protipožarno varnost z razprševanjem, reaktivne premaze, zaščitne sisteme fasadnih oblog in večplastne oziroma kompozitne protipožarne materiale. Tega evropskega standarda ni mogoče uporabiti, če ni podatkov o votlih profilih iz standarda prEN 13381-4 (revizija standarda ENV 13381-4:2002) ali prEN 13381-8 (revizija standarda EN 13381-8:2010). Za pasivne sisteme je mogoče ta podatek izpeljati iz formule v Prilogi A standarda prEN 13381-4 (revizija ENV 13381-4:2002). Če se bodo za profile votlih jeklenih stebrov s polnilom iz betona uporabile debeline za votle profile, izpeljane iz standarda prEN 13381-4 (revizija standarda ENV 13381-4:2002) ali prEN 13381-8 (revizija standarda EN 13381-8:2010), preskušanje v skladu s tem evropskim standardom ni zahtevano. Predvideno je, da ugotavljanje krije obseg debelin uporabljenega protipožarnega materiala, obseg jeklenih profilov z njihovimi premeri in debelinami sten, obseg načrtovanih temperatur in obseg obdobij veljavne razvrstitve protipožarne zaščite. Preskusna metoda je veljavna za protipožarne sisteme, ki so neposredno v stiku s konstrukcijskim stebrom ali pri katerih je med konstrukcijskim stebrom in zaščitnim sistemom zračni prostor. Ta evropski standard določa preskuse požarne varnosti za določanje zmogljivosti protipožarnega sistema pri zagotavljanju protipožarne zaščite kompozitnih stebrov. S preskusi se zagotovijo podatki o povprečnih temperaturah jekla v kompozitnem stebru, ko je izpostavljeno krivulji čas-temperatura v skladu s postopki, opredeljenimi v tem dokumentu. Ta evropski standard prav tako vsebuje postopek presoje, ki predpisuje način analiziranja podatkov preskusa, in navodila o postopkih, ki se nanašajo na interpolacijo. V posebnih okoliščinah, kadar so opredeljene v nacionalnih gradbenih predpisih, lahko obstaja potreba, da se reaktivni material za zaščito podvrže krivulji tlenja. Preskus za to in posebne okoliščine za njegovo uporabo so podrobno opredeljeni v standardu prEN 13381-8 (revizija standarda EN 13381-8:2010). Ta izpostavljenost, ki velja za reaktivne protipožarne materiale, se uporablja samo v posebnih okoliščinah (ki so opredeljene v nacionalnih gradbenih predpisih države članice Evropske unije) in zato ni obvezna za vse protipožarne materiale, ki se uporabljajo za votle jeklene stebre s polnilom iz betona. Ta evropski standard ne obravnava prispevka betona h konstrukcijski trdnosti votlih stebrov in tako obravnava samo toplotno obnašanje. Utemeljitev uporabe tega pristopa je navedena v Prilogi B. Metodologija preskusa požarne varnosti vključuje zbiranje in predstavitev podatkov, ki se lahko neposredno vnesejo v izračun požarne odpornosti kompozitnih elementov iz betona/jekla v skladu s postopki, navedenimi v standardu EN 1994-1-2.

Overview

EN 13381-6:2012 - Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members - Part 6: Applied protection to concrete filled hollow steel columns - specifies a fire test and assessment method to determine the thermal contribution of applied fire protection systems to concrete-filled hollow steel columns. The standard covers lightweight, normal-weight and heavyweight concretes (all strength classes in EN 1994-1-2) and allows a specified dry sand infill as a conservative alternative to wet concrete. EN 13381-6:2012 produces average steel temperature data when specimens are exposed to the standard time/temperature curve in EN 1363-1 and provides rules for analysing and interpolating test results.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope of testing: Thermal performance only - the standard ignores any structural contribution from the concrete core (justification in Annex B).
• Applicable protection types: Sprayed fire protection, reactive coatings, cladding systems, multi-layer and composite fire protection materials.
• Test matrix: Covers ranges of protection thicknesses, steel section diameters and wall thicknesses, design temperatures and fire classification periods.
• Specimen conditions: Protection may be in intimate contact with the column or include an airspace; dry sand infill is allowed as a conservative substitute.
• Assessment procedure: Defines how to analyse furnace and steel temperature data, perform interpolation (linear interpolation method in Annex A), apply stickability correction and determine limits of applicability for different steel/concrete combinations.
• Preconditions: EN 13381-6 cannot be used if no hollow-section data exist from EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8; conversely, testing is not required when hollow-section protection thicknesses are derived from those standards.
• Special exposure: Smouldering curve testing for reactive materials is covered in EN 13381-8 and only required under specified national building regulations.

Applications and users

Who uses EN 13381-6:2012:

• Fire protection manufacturers validating applied protection systems for concrete filled hollow steel columns
• Fire testing laboratories conducting thermal performance tests and producing data for certification
• Structural and fire safety engineers using test outputs as input to fire resistance calculations per EN 1994-1-2
• Certification bodies, product specifiers and building authorities assessing compliance with national/regulatory fire safety requirements

Practical uses:

• Derive allowable protection thicknesses and limits of applicability for product datasheets
• Provide input temperature curves for structural fire design of composite columns
• Support CE marking, product approval and specification in tender documents

Related standards

• EN 1994-1-2 (design of composite steel–concrete structures in fire)

1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method for determining the contribution of fire protection systems to the fire resistance of structural concrete filled hollow steel columns. The concrete can be lightweight, normal-weight or heavyweight concrete, and of all the strength classes provided for in EN 1994-1-2. The use of a dry sand is considered to be an alternative, conservative approach to the use of wet concrete. A specification for dry sand is given in 5.6.3.
The method is applicable to all fire protection systems used for the protection of concrete filled hollow columns and includes sprayed fire protection, reactive coatings, cladding protection systems and multi-layer or composite fire protection materials.
If there is no hollow section data from prEN 13381-4 (revision of ENV 13381-4:2002) or prEN 13381-8 (revision of EN 13381-8:2010), this European Standard cannot be used. For passive systems, this data can be derived using the Formula in Annex A of prEN 13381-4 (revision of ENV 13381-4:2002).
Testing to this European Standard is not required if the fire protection thicknesses for hollow sections derived from prEN 13381-4 (revision of ENV 13381-4:2002) or prEN 13381-8 (revision of EN 13381-8:2010) are to be used for concrete filled hollow sections.
The evaluation is designed to cover a range of thicknesses of the applied fire protection material, a range of steel sections, characterized by their diameters and wall thicknesses, a range of design temperatures and a range of valid fire protection classification periods.
The test method is applicable to fire protection systems which are intimately in contact with the structural column, or which include an airspace between the structural column and the protection system.
This European Standard specifies the fire tests which are carried out to determine the ability of the fire protection system to provide fire protection to composite columns. The tests produce data on the average steel temperatures of the composite column, when exposed to the time/temperature curve according to the procedures defined herein. This European Standard also provides the assessment procedure, which prescribes how the analysis of the test data should be made and gives guidance on the procedures by which interpolation is undertaken. In special circumstances, where specified in national building regulations, there can be a need to subject reactive protection material to a smouldering curve. The test for this and the special circumstances for its use are detailed in prEN 13381-8 (revision of EN 13381-8:2010). This exposure, applicable to reactive fire protection materials, is used only in special circumstances (which are specified in the national building regulations of a member state of the European Union) and is therefore not intended to be mandatory for all fire protection materials applied to concrete filled hollow steel columns.
This European Standard ignores any contribution from the concrete to the structural capability of the hollow column and therefore only deals with thermal performance. The justification for using this approach is given in Annex B.
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/steel composite members in accordance with the procedures given in EN 1994-1-2.
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/concrete composite columns, steel types and thicknesses, concrete densities, strengths, thicknesses and production techniques over the range of thicknesses of the applied fire protection system tested.
b) on the basis of the temperature data derived from testing short hollow steel sections filled with concrete, 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. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
