The Passive Fire Protection Handbook
The Passive Fire Protection Handbook
The document from the Passive Fire Protection Handbook discusses the fire resistance requirements for structural steel elements, highlighting the importance of factors such as fire resistance duration, type of protection, and steel section characteristics. Promat products are tested to ensure compliance with these standards.
The A/V section factor is essential for determining the necessary fire protection level. It relates to the area of steel exposed to fire and the volume of the steel section, with higher values indicating a need for thicker protection materials. Limiting temperatures for columns and beams are specified to maintain structural integrity during fires.
The document details various encasement systems like Promat VERMICULUX®, PROMATECT®-250, and SUPALUX®, providing guidance on their use for different steel sections. Emphasis is placed on the 'stickability' and cost-efficiency of fire protection materials.
Design considerations include partially exposed members and lightweight walls and floors. The document advises on how these elements contribute to fire protection and structural integrity.
Special cases such as beams with web openings and light gauge cold rolled sections are addressed, requiring specific evaluations due to their unique structural behavior in fire conditions.
The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of accurate fire protection calculations and applications to ensure safety and compliance with building regulations.
The document references European standard EN 13381-9 for evaluating products protecting cellular beams and highlights the importance of considering different failure modes to determine appropriate limiting temperatures.
The ASFP sponsored the development of a model for assessing beams with various designs, determining the limiting temperature for structural failure across different configurations.
The document refers to the ASFP Yellow Book for test and assessment procedures related to passive fire protection systems and outlines methods for calculating section factors for cellular beams.
It suggests increasing protection thickness by 20% based on section factor and temperature calculations, emphasizing the need for testing in accordance with the ASFP Yellow Book.
Extensive tables provide section factors for various UK beam profiles, crucial for determining appropriate fire protection measures.
The document stresses controlling steel web temperature and ensuring suitable section factor calculations for both symmetric and asymmetric beams, recommending consultation with qualified structural engineers for detailed advice.
Tables provide detailed information on board thickness required for different fire resistance periods and limiting steel temperatures, with recommendations for consulting structural engineers for sizes outside specified ranges.
The document references Certifire Approval No CF 421 and CF 422, indicating compliance with fire safety standards.
All products require specific substrate preparation and application by recognized applicators, with emphasis on adhering to installation guides and consulting Promat Technical Services for complex situations.

The Passive Fire Protection Handbook | 2017 Chapter 3: Structural Steel The amount of fire protection required to achieve this depends on the following: • Duration of fire resistance specified • Type of protection used • Perimeter of the steel section exposed to fire • Shape and size of the steel section STRUCTURAL STEEL The Building Regulations require certain elements of structure to have fire resistance for a specified minimum period of time. The amount of fire protection required to achieve this depends on the following: — Duration of fire resistance specified — Type of protection used —...

Chapter 3: Structural Steel Introduction Partially Exposed Members Where columns or beams are partly built into or are in close contact with walls or floors, then account can be taken of the protection afforded to the steelwork by the wall or floor. In the case of masonry work, this will give protection to the adjacent surface of the steelwork for the purpose of determining the heated perimeter. External Lightweight Walls In the case of portal legs supporting a lightweight external wall, the insulation performance required by the wall will contribute to the protection of any column flange falling...

A/V SECTION FACTOR The degree of fire protection depends on the A/V section factor for the steel section. The A/V factor is a function of the area of the steel exposed to the fire and the volume of the steel section. The higher the A/V, the faster the steel section heats up, and so the greater the thickness of fire protection material required. The section factor and limiting temperature are then used to determine the thickness of protection required. LIMITING TEMPERATURES Historically, the thickness of fire protection was specified such that the maximum temperature of 550°C for columns and 620°C...

BEAMS WITH WEB OPENINGS (CELLULAR BEAMS) The following text relates to guidelines laid down in the ASFP Yellow Book “Fire Protection for Structural Steel in Buildings" 5th Edition 2014. This Section presents guidance with respect to the evaluation of the fire resistance performance of structural steel beams with openings in the web and protected against fire by passive fire protection systems (typically spray coatings, slabs, renderings and boards). Long span beams with web openings are commonly known as “cellular beams" and have numerous openings in the web to accommodate service items such...

Please consult a qualified structural engineer for detailed advice if steel sizes fall outside those shown. To provide a consistent structural approach for these beams, the ASFP sponsored the SCI to produce a model capable of considering a wide range of beam designs and opening shapes and spacing. The SCI have published this method under their reference RT 1356. The latest version can be found on www.steelbiz.org. The method of RT 1356 determines...
