Fire Resistance of Steel Bulkhead Under Hydrocarbon Fire Conditions
This article presents a small comparison of European and American normative documents in part of the fire safety and determines a difference in the hydrocarbon fire mode between these regulation documents. Regulatory requirements for bearing and enclosing structures of oil-and-gas complex construction, tankers and offshore fixed platforms are analyzed. The article analyzes a steel deck bulkhead with Rockwool fire protection for a sea building construction with a fire resistance limit of 120 min. The absence of analytical calculation methods makes manufacturing companies to limit themselves only to fire tests, but the finite element modeling used in this study can effectively justify the calculated fire resistance limit. The necessity of numerous fire tests has been established to obtain accurate thermophysical characteristics of fire-protective materials under hydrocarbon fire conditions. In future, this database can be used to create an adequate model for calculations with hydrocarbon fire mode simulation or develop the numerical methods of calculation.
