Reliability analysis of shear capacity of reinforced concrete composite beams after high temperature CAI Bin, HAO Li-yan, XU Long-fei 2020, 39 (5):  579-585.  Abstract ( 1846 )   A reliability analysis method of the shear capacity of the oblique section and the combined interface of the reinforced concrete composite beams after high temperature is provided. Firstly, the thermal parameters of reinforced concrete (RC) beams were selected, and the heat conduction analysis was performed using ABAQUS. Based on the thermal analysis results and the calculation method of the shear capacity of RC composite beams after high temperature, the residual bearing capacity of the oblique section and the combined interface after fire was obtained. Finally, based on MATLAB, Monte Carlo method was used to analyze the reliability. The results show that the heating duration has a significant effect on the reliability. The reliability index increases with the increase of the concrete strength and the stirrup reinforcement ratio. It increases first and then changes little with the increase of the load ratio. The reliability of the oblique section bearing capacity of RC composite beams is greater than that of the combined interface at room temperature, but with the increase of heating time, the shear strength of combined interface is better than that of the oblique section. This method can be applied to the reliability analysis of the bearing capacity of RC composite beams after high temperature, and has high precision and accuracy. Related Articles | Metrics

Acoustic emission signal characteristics of heat-treated concrete under uniaxial loading WANG Xue-ni, LI Zhong-hui, NIU Yue, KONG Yan-hui 2020, 39 (5):  585-590.  Abstract ( 1744 )   To study the change of mechanical properties of concrete and the precursory characteristics of structural instability after fire, the uniaxial compression experiments were carried out on concrete specimens after heat treated at 20, 100, 200, 300, 400 ℃ to monitor the acoustic and electrical response characteristics of the specimen under load failure, so as to identify the precursory features of structural instability. The results showed that the appearance color, internal structure and mechanical properties of concrete changes after heated. With the higher temperature, the more obvious color change and the more abundant crack development and the lower maximum stress, the higher maximum strain. AE signal and AP signal become more active with the increase of temperature and the response of the two signals is closely related to the crack growth, these two signals can reflect damage evolution process of the internal structure of the specimen. The AE signals and AP signals were statistically analyzed by variability coefficients. The results showed that the variability coefficient of AE signal is relatively stable during the loading process of the sample, and it has a rapid increase to peak as abnormal response before the sample is unstable, which can be used as a precursor to judge the structural stability of the sample. Compared with the AE signal, the variability characteristic of the AP signal is at a higher value at the initial stage of the sample loading, then decreases, and rapidly increases to a peak before the sample is destabilized.

Effect of concentration on flame propagation of corn starch in vertical half-open pipe YANG Kai, CHEN Yan-bin, PANG Lei, ZHANG Zhi-wen, REN Jia-qi, LI Si-gang, LIU Wen-shuai 2020, 39 (5):  596-600.  Abstract ( 1765 )   Taking food grade corn starch after vacuum drying as example, particle shape and size were analyzed by laser particle size analyzer and SEM. High speed camera technology was used to study explosive flame propagation behavior of corn starch dust cloud in a 1.2 m long vertical half-open tube, and the influence of dust cloud concentration on flame propagation with or without obstacle was investigated. The results showed that the flame speed overall increases at first and then decreases. Both dust cloud concentration and obstacle have significant influence on the flame propagation pattern and flame speed of corn starch dust cloud. With the increase of dust cloud concentration, the dust combustion is not sufficient, resulting in the gradual decrease of the maximum flame speed and flame brightness and unclear flame contour and flame segment phenomenon. The turbulence effect of obstacles will accelerate the combustion of dust, increase the speed of dust flame propagation, improve the flame brightness and contour clarity. However, an increase in the concentration of dust clouds will reduce the accelerated effect of obstacles on flame propagation, and promote the maximum flame speed to increase at first and then decrease.

Study on temperature field distribution of linear fire source in different lateral positions in pipe gallery XU Gang, ZHU Guo-qing , CHU Tian-wei, 2020, 39 (5):  604-607.  Abstract ( 1770 )   In order to study the temperature distribution of the linear fire source in the pipe gallery at different lateral positions, this paper sets the linear fire source at the lateral positions of 0, 20, 40 and 60 cm from the center of the pipe gallery. The study found that the longitudinal temperature of each working condition increased first, then decreased and then increased with time. The highest temperature rise first decreases and then rises during the increase in the lateral distance of the linear fire source from the center, and the time to reach the highest temperature also increases first and then decreases. The arc-shaped tube wall has an influence on the fire source combustion. The angle in the vertical direction of each working condition at the cross section of 0 m from the center of the pipe gallery reached the highest temperature rise. In the cross section of 0.5 m transverse section, the angle corresponding to the highest temperature rise of each working condition is 15°. When the lateral distance between the fire source and the center of the pipe gallery increases, the temperature rise gap between −45° and 45° increases.  Related Articles | Metrics

Study on the temperature profile of horizontally oriented jet fire impinging on the vertical plate DONG Bing-yan, WU Jin-xiang, HUANG You-bo 2020, 39 (5):  607-610.  Abstract ( 1789 )    In order to study the temperature profile of horizontally oriented jet fire impinging on the vertical plate, numerical simulation software was used to simulate the rectangular leakage port methane jet fire with different aspect ratios. The temperature distribution features on horizontal and vertical direction over obstruction surface were analyzed. Results show that the leakage velocity and aspect rate of orifice have a significant effect on the temperature distribution over obstruction surface. The larger the leakage velocity, the wider the temperature rise area, but the width of temperature rise area decreases as the aspect rate of orifice increasing. The temperature rise area increases at vertical and transverse direction with the increasing velocity.Meanwhile, the larger aspect rate of orifice results in the thicker temperature rise area and varies width of temperature rise area.

Effect of fire barrier on the spread of cable fire in utility tunnel LI Zheng, ZHANG Guo-wei, JIA Bo-yan, ZHU Guo-qing, ZHANG Peng 2020, 39 (5):  611-614.  Abstract ( 1792 )   FDS full-scale fire numerical simulation model was established based on the standard section of the utility tunnel of Chengbei road in Suzhou. The fire development situation and temperature distribution law of the power cable compartment fire in the utility tunnel were simulated and analyzed. Four layers of cables were set on the left and right sides of the pipe gallery, the influence of the fire barrier on the fire development and temperature distribution was studied by 2 scenarios of with or without fire barrier. The results showed that when there is no fire barrier, the development direction of the fire in the utility tunnel is mainly transverse spread, and the top cable burns with the expansion of the fire and the heat transfer of smoke accumulation,and finally spreads to other areas of the utility tunnel. The vertical fire spread time was delayed by about 40%,and the maximum temperature in the utility tunnel was reduced by about 18% by setting the fire barrier. Related Articles | Metrics

Experimental studies on upward flame spread under limited distance effects GU Si-nian, BU Xue-min, ZHU Guo-qing 2020, 39 (5):  614-618.  Abstract ( 1779 )   Using 45 cm tall, 5.0 cm wide and 2.0 mm thick advertising canvas，the effects of limited distance with the range of 3.0~9.0 cm between wall and fuel surface on flame length, spread rate and ignition time are quantitatively analyzed. The major conclusions are summarized as follows: When the limited distance is 3.0~8.0 cm，the flame length on limited side is larger than that on unlimited side, whereas when limited distance is beyond 8.0 cm, the flame lengths on both sides are basically the same. Both the flame length and spread rate first increase and then decrease with limited distance, and finally reach a constant value, while the ignition time decreases first and then rises with limited distance, and ultimately achieves a stable value. The relationship between the heat flux received by virgin surface and ignition time is established. Moreover, the variation trend of the heat flux received by virgin surface with the limited distance is analyzed, which can be used to explain the cause of the non-monotonic trend in spread rate.

Influence of patio width and depth on smoke movement of fire CHEN Long-fei, YUAN Man, CHEN Yan-qiu 2020, 39 (5):  628-632.  Abstract ( 1954 )   FDS fire numerical simulation method was used to analyze the influence of different width and depth of the patio on the pressure difference between the bottom and top of the patio, the temperature inside the patio and CO concentration in the corridor, to study the influence of the width and depth of the patio on the stack effect in high-rise residential buildings. Considering 3 kinds of fire source power, 4 kinds of open patio width and 4 kinds of open patio depth, 48 working conditions were set to carry out the analysis. It was found that the stack effect is weak due to the side connectivity in the open patio, and the width and depth of the patio have no obvious effect on the stack effect. The greater the width of the patio and the deeper the patio, the lower the temperature inside the patio and the CO concentration in the corridor. Related Articles | Metrics

Simulation analysis of smoke diffusion characteristics in the process of fire train braking YU Li, SUN Yuan, WANG Ming-nian, DAI Zhong-yu, LIU Yong-gang, TIAN Yuan 2020, 39 (5):  637-641.  Abstract ( 1715 )    In order to explore the smoke diffusion characteristics of fire train when braking to the underground station for rescue, theoretical analysis and numerical simulation were used to study the smoke diffusion law in the rail area and platform layer of the station when the fire train slowed down to stop under different smoke control measures, and the influence of the fire prevention and ventilation system of the station under this scenario was defined. The results show that the smoke distribution in the upper and lower reaches of the fire train is affected by the characteristics of moving fire source and piston wind. Although the shielding door can effectively prevent the smoke from spreading to the platform, it will increase the piston wind speed in the rail area and increase the smoke spreading speed, which is not conducive to the safe evacuation of passengers. The smoke discharge effect in rail area was limited by the influence of piston wind, and the total smoke discharge efficiency decreased by 14%,and the smoke exhaust valves in the lower reaches of fire are more efficient.

The change of temperature and voltage in the fire-extinguishing process of heptafluoropropane on lithium iron phosphate energy storage battery fire were studied and the fire-extinguishing effect of it was analyzed. The results showed that for free-expanding battery fires, heptafluoropropane can stop its thermal runaway reactioneffectively. For the battery with limited expansion, the thermal runaway process of the battery itself is more intense, and the temperature keeps rising for a longer time after extinguishing the fire. The second thermal runaway or even reburns of the battery happens. In practical application, safety and cost should be taken into consideration comprehensively to set up appropriate expansion space for the battery, and the fire-extinguishing agent of heptafluoropropane should be released as soon as possible.

Design and properties of polypyrrole modified carbon nanotubes LI Zhen-hua, WANG Shi-jun 2020, 39 (5):  681-684.  Abstract ( 1774 )   Through the two-step modification of carbon nanotubes (CNT), the P, N-rich organic-inorganic hybrid structure (HPCNT) was obtained by grafting polypyrrole onto the P, N-rich phosphoronitrile unit, which was added into PP matrix as filler. Compared with pure CNT, the inclusion layer on the surface of hybrid structure has stronger interface force and interface compatibility with the matrix, so it presents a good dispersion state, and then it can effectively form a physical barrier network. At the same time, its rich P, N elements will provide a certain degree of flame retardant, and can promote the formation of carbon. When 3% HPCNT was added, PHRR and THR changed to 987 kW/m2 and 111 MJ/m2 respectively, which decreased by 31.6% and 15.3% respectively. PCOY and PCO2Y decreased by 20.8% and 31.7%, respectively, to 0.57 mg/m3 and 11.44%. Related Articles | Metrics

The internal temperature distributions were studied to give reference for firefighters to make training plan and to carry out actual combat training. The experimental results showed that the phenomenon of transient combustion occurred under closed-door combustion condition. When the door was opened, the heating rate of ignition source increased and the highest temperature appeared at the ceiling. When the door was closed, the maximum temperatures of small, medium and large fires were 331, 463 and 752 ℃, respectively. With the increase of horizontal distance from the fire source, the temperature decreased rapidly at first and then raised slightly. The temperature at the 1.2 m height ranged from 100 ℃ to 180 ℃. In the comparison experiments of medium large fires under closing door and opening door conditions, it was found that high temperature duration increased, and the temperature at monitoring sites except fire source decreased significantly with the increase of the area of opening door. The average highest temperature at the 1.2 m height was about 70 ℃. Related Articles | Metrics

Characteristics of gases emission during lithium-ion batteries thermal runaway at high plateau LIU Yi, ZOU Xiao-long, CHEN Xian-tao, HE Yuan-hua, SUN Qiang 2020, 39 (5):  704-709.  Abstract ( 1799 )    In order to investigate the effectiveness of low-pressure and low-oxygen environment in high altitude airport on the parameters of jet flame temperature, heat release rate and flue gas composition in the thermal runaway behavior of lithium-ion batteries, the low-pressure test platform of lithium-ion battery was established to simulate the thermal runaway in high altitude airport (50 kPa) and plain airport (90 kPa) respectively. Four 18650 lithium-ion batteries were used as the experimental objects. The results showed that under the condition of 50 kPa, the damage degree of the cell, the heat release rate and the temperature of the jet flame decreases, among which the peak temperature of the jet flame reduces by about 241.3 ℃. Under the condition of 50 kPa, the concentration offlammable gases like CxHy and CO in the pyrolysis flue gas is higher, the highest concentration can reach 3 134.50×10-6 and 0.860% respectively, which increases with the increase of heat release rate.Under the condition of 90 kPa, the concentration of CxHy and CO decreases, which decreases with the increase of heat release rate. The combustion and explosion of the batteries is more violent under the condition of 90 kPa. The concentration of CO2 gas is the proof of the complete combustion of the substance. The highest concentration of CO2 gas under 90 kPa can reach 1.510 7% and it is higher than that under 50 kPa. Related Articles | Metrics

Study on the change regulation of ac impedance in the thermal runaway process of lithium ion battery ZHAO Qi-chen, ZHANG Qing-song 2020, 39 (5):  709-712.  Abstract ( 1752 )   Through the self-designed ac impedance monitoring platform for thermal runaway of lithium ion battery, the impedance change rule in the process of thermal abuse of lithium ion battery was studied. Based on ac impedance technology and thermal runaway mechanism of lithium ion battery, the changes of impedance, phase Angle, ohmic resistance, polarization resistance and voltage with the surface temperature of lithium ion battery during thermal abuse were analyzed. The results show that in the process of heat abuse, the impedance of the lithium ion battery first decreases and then increases rapidly several minutes before the battery is disconnected, and the battery voltage remains stable until the battery is disconnected. The phase angle is going to decrease in the heat and then it's going to be stable. The impedance of 18650 lithium ion battery is mainly affected by ohmic resistance. The polarization resistance of lithium ion battery is stable before the battery breaks, which proves that there is no chemical reaction in the positive electrode material at this stage.

The thermal stability and the severity of the consequences of the single and cyclic overcharged battery were analyzed by the time of battery to reach the initial burst and thermal runaway, the surface temperature of two nodes, and the battery surface temperature peak. The research was to provide evaluation indicators for evaluating the thermal safety of lithium ion batteries under overcharge conditions, and provide technical support for the inspection management of equipment using lithium ion batteries in civil air transportation and the standardized development of the industry. The result showed that, compared with cyclic overcharged batteries, the initial burst time of single overcharged batteries is 20% earlier and the temperature rises by 8%, and thermal runaway time is 15% ahead. After comprehensive analysis of battery thermal runaway phenomenon, maximum temperature and mass loss, it is concluded that the thermal stability of lithium ion battery after cyclic overcharged is better than that of single overcharged battery, but the consequences of thermal runaway are more serious.
