Enhancing the Fire Resistance of Concrete Structures by Applying Fire-Retardant Temperature-Resistant Metal Coatings

Abstract

The issues relating to an increase in the fire-resistance of concrete structures by applying (heat dissipating) fire-retardant and fire resistant metal coatings onto them was considered. The experimental investigation data obtained for the heating rate of the brick coated with the aluminum layer as heat dissipating coating were given. The investigation was carried out through the comparison of a time-dependent change in the temperature of the material coated with the aluminum layer with the temperature of uncoated material. The obtained research results proved a decrease in the heating rate of the coated brick exposed to the thermal irradiation.

Experimental Investigations of the Thermal Decomposition of Wood at the Time of the Fire in the Premises of Domestic Buildings

“…To prevent the thermal decomposition of wooden structures and furniture in the premises of domestic buildings it is reasonable to use contemporary fire suppressing resources [27][28][29] with appropriate performance characteristics [30][31][32][33]. The research described in this paper allows us to substantiate the process of the thermal decomposition of solid combustible materials with the release of toxic gases (СО, СО2), increase in temperature on the material surface and a decrease in oxygen in the premises of residential buildings.…”

Galvanic Formation of the Triple Composition Coatings with Improved Functional Properties

“…Scientists consider the problem of increasing the electrodes corrosion resistance for work in acidic and alkaline mediums [17,18]. It is possible to apply a coating, to change the electrode material or electrolyte composition [19][20][21]. The authors [22] conducted comprehensive research aimed at developing back contacts to CdTe base layers to create highly efficient, degradation-resistant solar cells.…”

Experimental Investigation of the Pyrolysis of Synthetic Materials Exposed to External and Internal Fires

“…To prevent the thermal decomposition of synthetic materials used for construction and domestic purposes by the consumers it is reasonable to apply the fire-proof compositions on their surfaces (gypsum plaster, etc) [39,40], the paints, and impregnate the materials with fire retardants, for example as for other materials [41][42][43] and in the case of their inflammation it is recommended to use the mist water fire-fighting equipment [44,45] with appropriate performances [46][47][48][49][50].…”
