Methodology of Prediction of Fire Resistance Ratings of Wood Columns Covered With Fire Retardant Coating

Methodology of Estimation of Fire Separation Distances between Construction Facilities by Calculation

“…We proposed to compile tables used for the determination of fire separation distances by calculation and tabular method according to the procedure which anticipates implementation of the procedures described in paper [10].…”

“…As result of conduction of complete factorial we calculated temperature of the upper layer of the construction elements of the facility being irradiated and construction elements of facades of which contained combustible materials or non-combustible materials, and we also did that for a facility being irradiated where combustible liquids turn; this was implemented according to planning matrix [10].…”

“…Varying parameters in accordance with Table 1 and matrix [10], conducting calculations with equation ( 3) and interpolating data determined for the ignition temperature (255 °C as for pine wood) we derived fire separation distances between buildings at the time of fire taking into account significant influencing factor. Data derived for various constructional characteristics of the facilities are submitted in Tables 2 to 4.…”

“…Table 2. Fire separation distances derived by complete factorial according to planning matrix [10] for Using data in Tables 2 to 4 we determined constants of the equation of the numerical regression (5) using formulae (6):…”

“…where N = 8 is the number of experimental situations according to the experiment plan; хі are parameter values according to plan matrix [10]; уі are magnitudes of fire separation distance according to Tables 2 to 4.…”
