Experimental Research on Temperature Field of Full⁃scale Steel Frame Building during Firefighting by Water Spraying
A sudden drop of local fire temperature field due to water spraying during firefighting may cause damage in steel frame buildings. In this study, a full-scale steel frame building was designed and constructed for investigating the distribution and variation of temperature field under fire as well as during firefighting process. The fire load and firefighting system were designed according to actual fire and firefighting scenarios, respectively. The influences of window glass broken and water spraying on fire temperature field were simulated in the test. During testing, the temperature distributions throughout the whole fire and firefighting processes were carefully measured by thermocouples, and the temperature-time curves at various positions of the fire site were obtained. The experimentally obtained spatial distribution and variation of fire temperature field were analyzed in the present study based on fire dynamics theories. The results indicate that there is an obvious temperature gradient in the vertical direction of the fire site, and the air temperature increases with the increase of height. In the frame plane, the closer to the fire point, the bigger the heating rate, the higher the maximum temperature, and the greater the temperature gradient in the vertical direction were recorded. The broken glass increases the vent area, as a result significantly influences the temperature field of a ventilation-controlled fire; the temperature near the vent decreases slightly, while the temperature in deep of the fire field far away from the vent increases significantly. Water spraying can significantly suppress the fire field combustion and reduce the temperature of the fire site. The cooling rate decreases with the prolongation of the water spraying time. Within a short time after firefighting started, the temperature near the fire source drops sharply, and the cooling rate reaches a maximum value of 391 ℃/min.
