Performance evaluations of fire protection panel developed for bridges

At present, the performance for fire resistance of the bridge is not generally required in its design. However, many examples damaged by a fire due to traffic accident under the bridge, doubt fire, incendiary fire and so on, have been reported. Therefore, the authors are developing the fire protecti...

Summary:At present, the performance for fire resistance of the bridge is not generally required in its design. However, many examples damaged by a fire due to traffic accident under the bridge, doubt fire, incendiary fire and so on, have been reported. Therefore, the authors are developing the fire protection panel which is composed of the Autoclaved Lightweight aerated Concrete (ALC) and Ceramic Fiber Blanket (CFB). In order to confirm the performance of the fire protection panel, the authors carried out the fire test by applying Hydrocarbon curve given by Eurocode. In this test, the thicknesses of the ALC and CFB are changed. This paper deals with the test results of the temperature and deflection distributions of the fire protection panel.
