Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members - Part 9: Applied fire protection systems to steel beams with web openings

This European Standard specifies a test and assessment method for determining the contribution made by fire protection systems to the fire resistance of structural steel beam I and H members in the horizontal plane containing openings in the web. This Standard applies to beams subject to 3 or 4 sided fire exposure.
This Standard applies to fire protection materials that have already been tested and assessed in accordance with EN 13381-4 or EN13381-8. i.e. prEN 13381-9 cannot be used in isolation. Use of prEN 13381-9 requires the multi-temperature analysis (MTA) derived from EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8 as the basis for determining thickness for beams with web openings. This MTA shall be carried out on the web and bottom flange separately generating an elemental multi-temperature analysis (EMTA). The bottom flange EMTA may be used as the top flange EMTA when a beam is subject to 4 sided exposure.
This European Standard contains the fire test methodology, which specifies the tests which shall be carried out to provide data on the thermal characteristics of the fire protection system, when exposed to the standard temperature/time curve specified in EN 1363-1.
This European standard also contains the assessment, which prescribes how the analysis of the test data should be made and gives guidance on the procedures which should be undertaken.
The assessment procedure is used to establish:
a)   on the basis of the temperature data derived from testing unloaded steel  sections, the thermal response of the fire protection system on cellular beams, (the thermal performance).
b)   the temperature ratio between the web post and the web reference temperature, which will vary depending on the web post width.
c)   the temperature ratio between points around the web openings and the web reference area
d)   the elemental multi temperature analysis from either EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8 shall be reassessed and reported against elemental A/V for each fire resistance period.
A structural model shall be used to derive limiting temperatures for cellular beams using the data from b), c) and d) above.

Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages zum Feuerwiderstand von tragenden Bauteilen - Teil 9: Brandschutzmaßnahmen für Stahlträger mit Stegöffnungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüf- und Beurteilungsverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages von Brandschutzsystemen zum Feuerwiderstand von tragenden Stahlträger-I- und H-Profilen in der horizontalen Ebene fest, welche Öffnungen im Steg aufweisen. Diese Norm gilt für Träger, die an 3 oder 4 Seiten der Brandeinwirkung ausgesetzt sind.
Diese Norm gilt für Brandschutzmaterialien, die bereits nach EN 13381 4 oder EN 13381-8 geprüft und bewertet wurden, d. h. prEN 13381 9 kann nicht losgelöst davon angewendet werden. Für die Anwendung von prEN 13381 9 ist die aus EN 13381 4 oder EN 13381-8 abgeleitete Mehrfachtemperaturanalyse (MTA) als Grundlage für die Bestimmung der Brandschutzdicke für Träger mit Stegöffnungen erforderlich. Diese MTA muss am Steg und am Unterflansch getrennt durchgeführt werden, was zu einer elementaren Mehrfachtemperaturanalyse (EMTA) führt. Die EMTA für den Unterflansch darf bei Trägern, die einer 4 seitigen Brandeinwirkung ausgesetzt sind, als EMTA für den Oberflansch verwendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält eine Methodik für Brandprüfungen, welche die Prüfungen beschreibt, die zur Ermittlung von Daten über die thermischen Eigenschaften des Brandschutzsystems bei Beanspruchung unter den Bedingungen der Einheits-Temperaturzeitkurve nach EN 1363-1 durchzuführen sind.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält darüber hinaus die Beurteilung, die festlegt, wie die Analyse der Messwerte durchgeführt werden sollte, sowie Hinweise zu den anzuwendenden Verfahren.
Das Verfahren der Beurteilung wird angewendet, um:
a)   auf der Grundlage der Temperaturmesswerte, die sich aus den Prüfungen von unbelasteten Stahlprofilen ergeben, das thermische Verhalten des Brandschutzsystems auf Lochstegträgern zu ermitteln (thermische Leistungsfähigkeit);
b)   das Verhältnis der Temperatur des Stegpfostens zur Bezugstemperatur des Stegs, das in Abhängigkeit von der Stegbreite schwankt, zu ermitteln;
c)   das Verhältnis der Temperatur der Punkte um die Stegöffnungen herum zur Temperatur im Bezugsbereich des Stegs zu ermitteln;
d)   die elementare Mehrfachtemperaturanalyse entweder aus EN 13381 4 oder EN 13381 8 erneut zu bewerten und im Vergleich zum elementaren A/V-Verhältnis für jede Feuerwiderstandsdauer anzugeben.
Es ist ein Strukturmodell zu verwenden, um die Grenztemperaturen für Lochstegträger anhand der vorstehenden Angaben aus b), c) und d) abzuleiten.

Méthodes d'essai pour déterminer la contribution à la résistance au feu des éléments de construction - Partie 9: Systèmes de protection au feu appliqués aux poutres alvéolaires en acier

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai et d'évaluation permettant de déterminer la contribution des systèmes de protection au feu à la résistance au feu des éléments en I et en H des poutres en acier de construction dans le plan horizontal contenant des ouvertures dans l'âme. La présente norme s'applique aux poutres soumises à une exposition au feu sur 3 ou 4 côtés.
La présente norme s'applique aux matériaux de protection au feu qui ont déjà été soumis à l'essai et évalués conformément à l'EN 13381-4 ou à l'EN13381-8, c'est-à-dire que le prEN 13381-9 ne peut pas être utilisé isolément. L'utilisation du prEN 13381-9 nécessite d'employer l'analyse de plusieurs températures (MTA) tirée de l'EN 13381-4 ou de l'EN 13381-8 comme base de la détermination de l'épaisseur à appliquer aux poutres alvéolaires. Cette MTA doit être conduite séparément sur l'âme et sur la semelle inférieure en générant une analyse élémentaire de plusieurs températures (EMTA). L'EMTA de la semelle inférieure peut être utilisée comme l'EMTA de la semelle supérieure lorsqu'une poutre est soumise à une exposition sur les 4 côtés.
La présente Norme Européenne contient la méthodologie d’essai au feu, qui spécifie les essais qui doivent être réalisés pour fournir des données sur les caractéristiques thermiques du système de protection au feu lorsqu’il est exposé à la courbe température/temps de la norme prescrite dans l’EN 1363-1.
La présente Norme européenne comprend également l'évaluation qui prescrit la façon d'effectuer l'analyse des données d'essai et les lignes directives des modes opératoires qu'il convient d'entreprendre.
Le mode opératoire de l’évaluation permet d’établir :
a)   d'après les températures tirées des essais effectués sur des petits tronçons d'acier non chargés, la réponse thermique du système de protection au feu sur les poutres alvéolaires (les performances thermiques) ;
b)   le rapport de températures entre la température de la membrure pleine et la température de référence de l'âme, qui variera en fonction de la largeur de la membrure pleine ;
c)   le rapport de températures entre les points situés autour des ouvertures d'âme et la surface de référence de l'âme ;
d)   l'analyse élémentaire de plusieurs températures issue de l'EN 13381-4 ou de l'EN 13381-8 doit être réévaluée et rapportée en fonction de la massiveté élémentaire A/V pour chaque durée de résistance au feu.
Un modèle structurel doit être utilisé pour déduire les températures limites pour les poutres alvéolaires à l'aide des données tirées de b), c) et d) ci-dessus.

Preskusne metode za ugotavljanje prispevka k požarni odpornosti konstrukcijskih elementov - 9. del: Požarno zaščitni sistemi za jeklene nosilce z odprtinami v stojini

Ta evropski standard določa metodo za preskušanje in oceno za ugotavljanje prispevka požarno zaščitnega sistema k požarni odpornosti konstrukcijskih jeklenih nosilcev I in H z odprtinami v stojini v vodoravnem položaju. Ta standard se uporablja za nosilce, ki so izpostavljeni ognju iz 3 ali 4 strani.
Ta standard se uporablja za protipožarne materiale, ki so že bili preskušeni in ocenjeni v skladu s standardoma EN 13381-4 ali EN13381-8. tj. standard prEN 13381-9 ne sme biti uporabljen samostojno. Uporaba standarda prEN 13381-9 zahteva multitemperaturno analizo (MTA) iz standarda EN 13381-4 ali EN 13381-8 kot osnovo za določanje debeline nosilcev z odprtinami v stojini. Analizo MTA je treba izvesti v stojini in spodnji prirobnici ter v obeh primerih ustvariti elementarno multitemperaturno analizo (EMTA). EMTA spodnje prirobnice se lahko uporabi kot EMTA zgornje prirobnice, če je nosilec izpostavljen ognju iz štirih strani.
Ta evropski standard vključuje metodologijo preskušanja požarne varnosti, ki določa preskuse, ki jih je treba opraviti za pridobitev podatkov o toplotnih lastnostih sistema protipožarnega varstva v času izpostavljenosti standardni krivulji temperatura-čas, določeni v standardu EN 1363-1.
Ta evropski standard prav tako vsebuje presojo, ki predpisuje način analiziranja podatkov preskusa, in navodila o postopkih, ki jih je treba izvesti.
Postopek ocenjevanja se uporablja za ugotavljanje:
a) toplotnega odziva požarno zaščitnega sistema na celične nosilce (toplotno delovanje) na podlagi podatkov o temperaturi, pridobljenih pri preskušanju delovanja neobremenjenih profilov;
b) toplotnega razmerja med temperaturo stojine in referenčno temperaturo stojine, ki niha glede na širino stojine;
c) temperaturnega razmerja med točkami okoli odprtin v stojini in referenčnim področjem stojine;
d) elementarne multitemperaturne analize iz standarda EN 13381-4 ali EN 13381-8, ki jo je treba znova oceniti in o njej poročati v povezavi z elementarnim A/V za vsako obdobje požarne odpornosti.
Strukturni model je treba uporabiti za določanje mejnih temperatur za celične nosilce z uporabo podatkov iz b), c) in d) zgoraj.

EN 13381-9:2015 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 13381-9:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2015, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2015. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. 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 series are: — Part 1: Horizontal protective membranes; — Part 2: Vertical protective membranes; — Part 3: Applied protection to concrete members; — Part 4: Applied passive protection to steel members; — Part 5: Applied protection to concrete/profiled sheet steel composite member; — Part 6: Applied protection to concrete filled hollow steel columns; — Part 7: Applied protection to timber members [currently at Enquiry stage]; — Part 8: Applied reactive protection to steel members. The document adopts the principle of establishing ratios of temperatures between and around openings in the web of a beam with the temperatures of a solid portion of that beam. This is with the intention that this data can be utilized within a structural model to derive the value and location of the associated limiting temperature of the beam at the fire limit state. This can then be used in conjunction with data for the fire protection material determined from either EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8, as appropriate to determine the necessary thickness of fire protection. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 13381-9:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test and assessment method for determining the contribution made by fire protection systems to the fire resistance of structural steel beam I and H members in the horizontal plane containing openings in the web which may affect the structural performance of the beam. This European Standard applies to beams subject to 3 or 4 sided fire exposure. For any beam with a single web opening or where the web openings are considered to be of small diameter in relation to the web depth the applicability of this European Standard needs to be determined by a structural engineer. This European Standard applies to fire protection materials that have already been tested and assessed in accordance with EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8. i.e. this European Standard cannot be used in isolation. Use of this European Standard requires the multi-temperature analysis (MTA) derived from EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8 as the basis for determining thickness for beams with web openings. This MTA needs to be carried out on the web and bottom flange separately generating an elemental multi-temperature analysis (EMTA). The bottom flange EMTA may be used as the top flange EMTA when a beam is subject to 4 sided exposure. This European Standard contains the fire test methodology, which specifies the tests which need to be carried out to provide data on the thermal characteristics of the fire protection system, when exposed to the standard temperature/time curve specified in EN 1363-1. This European standard also contains the assessment, which prescribes how the analysis of the test data should be made and gives guidance on the procedures which should be undertaken. The assessment procedure is used to establish: a)
on the basis of the temperature data derived from testing unloaded steel sections, the thermal response of the fire protection system on cellular beams (the thermal performance); b) the temperature ratio between the web post and the web reference temperature, which will vary depending on the web post width; c) the temperature ratio between points around the web openings and the web reference area; d) the elemental multi temperature analysis from either EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8 needs to be reassessed and reported against elemental A/V for each fire resistance period; e) a structural model needs to be used to derive limiting temperatures for cellular beams using the data from b), c) and d) above.

EN 13381-9:2015 (E) 11 5.4.2 Fire protection materials The composition, dimensions, (including thickness), verification and properties of the fire protection materials shall be determined in accordance with the requirements of EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8. The thickness of panel or board type fire protection materials should not deviate by more than 15 % of the mean value over the whole of its surface. The mean value shall be used in the assessment of the results and in the limits of applicability of the assessment. If it deviates by more than 15 % then the maximum thickness recorded shall be used in the assessment. The thickness of fire protection material applied to the inside edge of an opening may be less than the thickness tested on the main body beams in the test packages in 5.4.4 provided it is not less than the minimum tested on a loaded beam in EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8 and that it is the same material. Other materials or combinations of may not be used unless alternative fire test evidence is available that is not covered by this European Standard. 5.4.3 Fire protection thickness requirements for sprayed materials Thickness measurements shall be evenly distributed and shall be taken in order to provide an overall mean for each section, each
