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

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

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

Dieser Teil dieser Europäischen Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrags der Brandschutzsysteme
zur Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit von tragenden betonverfüllten Stahlverbund-Hohlstützen fest. Der
Beton kann Leichtbeton, Normalbeton oder Schwerbeton der Festigkeitsklassen 20/25 (LC/C/HC) bis 50/60
(LC/C/HC) sein.
Das Prüfverfahren gilt für alle Brandschutzsysteme, die für den Schutz derartiger tragender Stützen
verwendet werden, und beinhaltet aufgesprühte Brandschutzmaterialien, Bekleidungen, Beschichtungsschutzsysteme
und Mehrschicht- oder Verbundsysteme.
Das Prüfverfahren und dessen Beurteilungsverfahren sind so ausgelegt, dass eine direkte Anwendung der
Ergebnisse möglich ist, um einen Bereich von Dicken des aufgebrachten Brandschutzmaterials abzudecken.
Das Prüfverfahren gilt nur für Brandschutzsysteme, die direkt auf der tragenden Stütze befestigt sind. Brandschutzsysteme,
bei denen das Brandschutzmaterial nicht direkt auf der Verbundstütze befestigt ist, wodurch
ein durchgehender Hohlraum zwischen Stütze und Brandschutzmaterial von mehr als 5 mm entsteht, werden
in prEN 13381-2 behandelt.
Diese Europäische Norm beinhaltet die Brandprüfung, die die anzuwendenden Verfahren festlegt, um die
Fähigkeit des Brandschutzsystems zu bestimmen, mit der Verbundstütze fest verbunden zu bleiben, und um
Daten über die Temperaturen der äußeren Stahloberfläche der Verbundstütze zu liefern, wenn diese der
Einheits-Temperaturzeitkurve nach den hier definierten Verfahren ausgesetzt wird.
Unter besonderen Umständen, die in nationalen Regelungen 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 Anhang A angegeben.

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

Cette partie de l'EN 13381 spécifie une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer la contribution apportée par les systèmes de protection contre le 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 20/25 (LC/C/HC) à 50/60 (LC/C/HC).
La méthode d'essai est applicable à tous les systèmes de protection contre le feu utilisés pour protéger ce type de poteau et englobe les matériaux de protection contre le feu appliqués par pulvérisation, les revêtements, les systèmes de protection en plaque et les matériaux de protection contre le feu multicouches ou composites.
La méthode d'essai et sa procédure d'évaluation sont conçues pour permettre l'application directe des résultats à une gamme d'épaisseurs du matériau de protection contre le feu.
La méthode d'essai est seulement applicable aux systèmes de protection contre le feu qui sont fixés directement sur le poteau. Les systèmes dans lesquels le matériau de protection contre le feu n'est pas fixé directement sur le poteau mixte, entraînant la présence d'une cavité continue, mesurant plus de 5 mm, entre le poteau et le système de protection contre le feu constituent l'objet du prEN 13381-2.
La présente Norme européenne contient l'essai au feu, qui spécifie les essais qui doivent être effectués pour déterminer l'aptitude du système de protection contre le feu à rester cohérent et fixé sur le poteau mixte, et pour obtenir des données concernant les températures de la surface extérieure en acier du poteau mixte, lorsque ce poteau est exposé au feu suivant la courbe de température/temps normalisée, conformément aux procédures définies dans le présent document.

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 filled hollow steel columns. The
concrete can be lightweight, normal-weight or heavy-weight concrete and of strength classes 20/25
(LC/C/HC) to 50/60 (LC/C/HC).
The method is applicable to all fire protection systems used for the protection of such structural
columns and includes sprayed fire protection, coatings, cladding protection systems and multi-layer or
composite fire protection materials.
The test method and its assessment procedure is designed to permit direct application of the results
to cover a range of thicknesses of the applied fire protection material.
The test method is only applicable to fire protection systems which are fixed directly to the structural
column. Fire protection systems where the fire protection material is not attached directly to the
composite column, leading to a continuous cavity between the column and the fire protection material
of size greater than 5 mm are the subject of prEN 13381-2.
This European Standard contains the fire test which specifies the tests which shall be carried out to
determine the ability of the fire protection system to remain coherent and fixed to the composite
column and to provide data on the temperatures of the outer steel surface of the composite column,
when exposed to the standard time/temperature curve according to the procedures defined herein.
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 annex A.
This exposure, applicable to reactive fire protection materials, is used only in special circumstances,
where specified in the national building regulations of a member state of the European Union, and is
not intended to be mandatory for all fire protection materials applied to concrete filled hollow steel
columns.
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.
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 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.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publica-
tions. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications
are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these
publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

4.3 Loading equipment
Loading equipment shall conform to that specified in EN 1363-1. The loading system shall permit
loading, of the magnitude defined in 5.3, to be applied and controlled throughout the test according to
EN 1363-1.
5 Test conditions
5.1 General
Test columns, subjected to predefined loading, are heated in a furnace in vertical orientation, under
specified temperature/time conditions.
Tests are made on loaded and unloaded columns to provide information on:
a) the temperature of the steel surface of the column behind the fire protection system;
b) the ability of the fire protection system to remain attached to the steel surface of the test column
(stickability).
It is recommended that the test be continued until the temperature of the steel surface reaches a
mean value of at least 650 °C (or until any single maximum value of 800 °C is recorded) to give the
necessary information on the stickability of the fire protection system. 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, where appropriate, EN 1363-2 shall be followed in the
performance of this test unless specific contrary instruction is given.
5.2 Support and restraint conditions for columns
The support and restraint conditions employed for the installation of test columns shall be as specified
in EN 1365-4.
Where a pin-joint condition is specified this shall be created according to EN 1365-4.
Where a fully restrained, fixed end, condition is specified this shall be created according to
EN 1365-4.
5.3 Loading conditions
Loading shall be applied to the full size test specimens.
The magnitude and distribution of the load shall produce an eccentrically and axially applied load (P)
which represents 60 % of the design load, for the column in combined compression and uniaxial
bending according to 4.8.3.13 of EN 1994-1-1. The factors, γ = 1 (for both steel and concrete), a
M
buckling length equal to h and those actual material properties defined in 6.5 shall be used in the
sup
calculation of the load to be applied.

6 Test specimens
6.1 Number of test specimens
At least one loaded full size composite test column with the minimum thickness of applied fire
protection system and one unloaded small size test column with the maximum thickness shall be
tested. If the system is only available in one thickness, then the full size loaded test only shall be
carried out, at that thickness and the applicability of the result restricted.
Additional unloaded small size columns may be tested with the fire protection system applied at
intermediate thicknesses or to other sizes of cross-section (within the same cross-section shape only)
in order to provide temperature data which may be used for direct application purposes.
Two unloaded small size test columns, one with the maximum and one with the minimum thickness of
applied fire protection system is used when the test is carried out to the smouldering curve, according
to annex A (unless the material is available in one thickness only).
6.2 Size of test specimens
The size of the test columns or specimens shall be as specified in Table 1 and exemplified in
Figure 1.
