Abstract

In this work we first review the statistical data on large fires in urban areas, presenting a detailed list of causes of fires, the type of damage to structures and infrastructure built of reinforced concrete. We also present the modern experimental approach for studying the fire-resistance of different structural components, along with the role of numerical modeling to provide a more detailed information on quantifying the temperature and heat flux fields. In the last part of this work we provide the refined models for assessment of fireinduced damage in structures built of reinforced concrete, the most frequently used construction material. We show that the refined models of this kind are needed to provide a more thorough explanation of damage and to complete the damage assessment and post-fire evaluations.

description: The accidental fires in enclosures, especially in the area of industrial application, are becoming the object of investigation ever since for their consequences is learned to be disastrous. “Interesting” are accidents in the facilities for power-(electricity)-production, where is obvious on-growing need to undertake the scientific research, aiming at better understanding of these reactive flow phenomena. The distribution of the gaseous combustion products, impacting the visibility in first establishing phase of the fire (in such enclosures) plays decisive parameter that is used in rescuing and protective actions. Further, the influence of heat irradiance that is represented indirectly in the temperature of walls within the cavern, gives the forecast for possible damages in the construction. Understanding of this phenomenon, driven by buoyancy in such non-premixed combustion (NPC) is well done by applying numerical simulations. Results of the performed study applying the RANS approach for turbulence treatment in the numerically investigated flow in the enclosure of the power-transformer-station show us here the distribution of the temperature-fields and the heat radiation-iso-surfaces. They offer so additional database for evaluating the interaction between the HRR of this large-scale combustion of inflammable hydro-carbon-liquids and fire propagation in an industrial facility, providing so possible suggestions for effective fire-suppression. One of the fire-interruption concepts are numerically investigated and presented here as well.
