Steel structures are a construction system used worldwide.

One of the main advantages is that they have great resistance per weight unit, which provides them with tremendous versatility and the possibility of creating complex yet light structures.

By contrast, one of the drawbacks of steel is its high thermal conductivity. Therefore, in the event of a fire, the progressive increase in temperature plus steel high heat transmission result in a reduction of the structure’s bearing capacity and mechanical resistance. The resistance and elastic limit are modified after 250 °C, and after approximately 500 °C the drop in resistance is significant enough so as not to support its design capacity.

To avoid this, mercortecresa® introduces Tecwool® F mortar, tested pursuant to standard UNE ENV 13381-4 to determine the mortar fire protection properties when applied to steel structural elements: beams, pillars or tension members.

Tecwool® F has been designed and tested to cover a great variety of steel profiles characterised by their section factors. Likewise, it is tested for several design temperatures specified in the standard.

Tecwool® F is spread with a pneumatic machine pursuant to the following technical specifications:

The surface to be protected requires no prior primer, mesh or any other type of support for the mortar adherence.

The surface to be protected should be free from dust, oil, waste, poorly attached particles, paint leftover, etc.

It is recommended to use water with the application hose to wash dirt away from the faces. This will also help achieve a thermal balance between the mortar and the applied surface.

Tecwool® F can provide different finishings: rugged, smooth, painted, etc., according to different aesthetic requirements. Once the spread is completed and in order to obtain a smooth finishing, a roller should be used and pressed slightly over the wet mortar until the desired finishing is obtained. It is possible to paint the mortar with elastic acrylic coatings to form a steam barrier. Before painting the mortar should be completely dry (28 days).

Once spread, mortar should be water sprayed superficially to ensure optimum settling of the cement.

For further information, see application and general usage (pg. 48).

Tecwool® F application on a metal structure is performed covering the entire surface of the profile that could be attacked by fire.

We define the profile section factor (profiled) or mass factor as: the relation between the section of the exposed external perimeter of the structural element itself per unit of length and its volumetric section per unit of length.

To simplify the calculation, the following expression is used:

where:

P = Profile’s protected straight section perimeter (m).

A = Profile’s straight section area (m2).

Mass = PA

(m-1)

HEB – 180 profile measures

h = 180 mm / b = 180 mm / t = 8.5 mm

4 sided “profiled” protection example (See Fig. II)

1.- Perimeter exposed to fire calculation:

P = 4 x b + 2 x h - 2 x t = 4 x 180 + 2 x 180 - 2 x 8,5 =

1063 mm = 1,063 m

2.- Profile section:

A = 65,3 cm2 = 0,00653 m2

3.- Section factor:

2 sided “profiled” protection example (See Fig. IV)

1.- Perimeter exposed to fire calculation:

P = 2b + h - t = 2 x 180 + 180 - 8,5 = 531,5 mm = 0,5315 m

2.- Profile section:

A = 65.3 cm2 = 0,00653 m2

3.- Section factor:

Once the profile’s form factor is known, we should look at the mortar thickness specification chart and find the Tecwool® mortar to be applied for that thick mass so as to comply with the required fire resistance.

Used in most of modern buildings, concrete is part of today’s landscape because of its multiple applications. However, concrete strength could be seriously impaired when exposed to fire, reducing its resistance when temperature exceeds 300 °C and losing it almost completely above 550 °C. In the case of reinforced concrete, framework resistance decreases after 250 °C, damaging the adherence between steel and concrete.

Mercortecresa® markets Tecwool® F mortar, tested pursuant to standard UNE ENV 13381-3, this test determines its capacity to provide protection against fire, to remain cohesive and fixed to concrete and to provide data on the temperature distribution in the entire protected concrete element when exposed to standard temperature/time curve.

The temperature information obtained in the tests performed is used to provide:

- The relation among concrete temperature, time and thickness of the fire protection material.

- Concrete equivalent thickness.

Light, normal or heavy concrete could be used, strength classes being 20/25 (LC/C/HC) to 50/60 (LC/C/HC). The member can contain steel reinforcing bars.

Increasingly often we are seeing concrete pillars or beams being reinforced using carbon fibre. This lateral restriction of the concrete improves its strength by reducing cracking by compression and increasing ductility.

This type of reinforcement is typically used in refurbishment work where it is necessary to reinforce the existing structure due to change of use, adaptation to current standards or simply to repair it or make good original defects.

However, carbon fibre and the resins used in its application are extremely sensitive to temperature increases, which often make them unsuitable for performing the functions for which they were designed. Tecwool® F enables the carbon fibre to remain below 81.4 ºC for two hours (for more information please contact our sales department).

3- Carbon fibre protection in structures

Page 19: CATALOGO MORTERO TECWOOL INGLES

The carbon fibre surface must be rough, with this being achieved by sprinkling silica sand onto the still tacky outer coating of resin. This prevents any problems regarding the bond between the mortar and the resin (please contact our sales department for more information).

The surface to be protected shall be totally free of dust, oil and/or grease, loose particles, traces of paint, etc.

It is advisable to give the facing of the structure a light wash down using the water of the application hose itself in order to remove any remaining dirt. This shall also ensure that a thermal balance is reached between the mortar and the applied surface.

Tecwool® F can provide different finishes: rough, smooth, painted, etc. in accordance with the look required. For smooth finishes, once the application has been completed a roller must be lightly applied to the damp mortar until the desired finish is achieved. It is possible to apply elastic acrylic coatings to the mortar to prevent water vapour from penetrating the structure. The mortar must be totally dry (28 days) prior to application.

Following projection, the mortar must be lightly sprayed with water in order to ensure that the cement hardens in optimum conditions.

For more information, please refer to “Application and General Uses” (pg. 48).

We often find this type of solution both in new and refurbishment works as this kind of structure is really easy to assemble. It consists of a profiled metallic sheet that serves as the formwork base where a concrete slab is later added.

However, in the event of a fire, the simplicity of the solution itself entails the risk of the metallic sheet being directly exposed to fire, rendering the slab structure vulnerable.

Mercortecresa® markets Tecwool®F, tested pursuant to standard UNE ENV 13381-5. With the temperature information obtained from the steel sheet through the concrete’s thickness and non-exposed surface, we calculate:

- The relation among steel temperature, time and thickness of the fire protection material.

- Concrete equivalent thickness, in relation to the thermal insulation criteria.

- Information on adherence capacity and exposure limit time.

For intermediate thickness values of the fire protection system, the time for regular temperature to increase up to 350ºC is obtained through linear interpolation.

Light, normal or heavy concrete could be used, strength classes being 20/25 (LC/C/HC) to 50/60 (LC/C/HC). The member can contain steel reinforcing bars.

Tecwool® F is spread with a pneumatic machine pursuant to the following technical specifications:

The surface to be protected requires no prior primer, mesh or any other type of support for the mortar adherence.

The surface to be protected should be free from dust, oil, waste, poorly attached particles, paint leftover, etc.

It is recommended to use water with the application hose to wash dirt away from the faces. This will also help achieve a thermal balance between the mortar and the applied surface.

Tecwool® F can provide different finishings: rugged, smooth, painted, etc., according to different aesthetic requirements. Once the spread is completed and in order to obtain a smooth finishing, a roller should be used and pressed slightly over the wet mortar until the desired finishing is obtained. It is possible to paint the mortar with elastic acrylic coatings to form a steam barrier. Before painting the mortar should be completely dry (28 days).

Once spread, mortar should be water sprayed superficially to ensure optimum settling of the cement.

In refurbishment building work, we usually find non-conventional slab structures. In this case, we have a slab structure consisting of a 50 mm thick concrete compression layer under which a hollow ceramic board supported by 140 x 140 mm wooden section beams is placed.

The test was performed pursuant to UNE EN 1365-2. Thermocouples were placed on the compression layer and throughout wooden beams, with the purpose of extrapolating the results to other more favourable configurations, provided that they remain within the limitations of the abovementioned standard.

For further information, Annex E to DB SI describes a calculation method to determine wooden structural elements’ resistance to the action represented by the standard time/temperature curve. Fire resistance is mainly determined by beam sizes, fire exposure and the loads supported by them.

Due to wood particular characteristics, Tecwool® F application in this solution differs from other analysed faces. Wood hygroscopicity makes it absorb or release water from the surrounding environment.

To avoid adherence problems from wood shrinking, its surface is covered with a wire mesh fastened with clamps or the like after applying Tecwool® F. mortar.

The mesh acts as reinforcement between the product and the face,-

providing extra flexibility and adherence to the support structure, regardless of its expansion.

The application on the ceramic block is similar to that on concrete slabs and walls. It is important to verify that there are no holes in slab structure to avoid material waste and to provide the spread with a uniform and homogeneous finishing.

Most of new constructions are crossed by several installations such as: cables, pipelines, conduits, ventilation shafts, etc. These installations alter the subdivisions of the splitting elements, allowing fire and smoke to pass through different fire areas.

Both the Technical Building Code and the Safety Regulations against Fire in Industrial Facilities offer several solutions to prevent smoke and fire propagation throughout the installations.

Tecwool® F mortar, the solution offered by mercortecresa®, consists in providing elements with a resistance equal to or above the resistance of crossed elements. That is, the mortar directly applied to the sheet provides the solution with the integrity and insulation established by the standard, ensuring full sealing lengthways.

In the specific case of this solution, a 0.6 mm plated duct was exposed to external fire, the classification obtained being EI-120.

Safety Regulations against Fire in Industrial Facilities indicate that, when a dividing wall or a splitting construction element in fire prone areas connects into the roof, the resistance of the latter will be at least equal to half of that established for the construction element in a 1-metre firebreak. The firebreak could be:

- Roof built-in as long as the firebreak presence is justified after non-resistant roof parts collapse.

- Fixed to the roof structure when it has the same fire stability as the firebreak resistance required.

- Made of a 1-metre wide barrier underneath the roof fixed to the diving wall, providing the fire resistance required. In no case should the barrier be installed at a distance greater than 40 cm from the roof lower part.

Mercortecresa® has designed and conducted this solution pursuant to the following European Standard (Document/Protocol): “Fire Resistance Test of dividing wall/roof firebreak,” the classification obtained being EI-60 y EI-120.

In case of a fire in a tunnel, material and human damages can only be avoided if the tunnel is adequately protected against fire.

In the last 10 years, several fires in tunnels have occurred worldwide. One of the conclusions is that we cannot simulate fires in tunnels with the same criteria applied to other constructions.

In this case, fires are destructive and reach high temperatures very rapidly. Besides, they can maintain these conditions during long periods of time. In other words, the standard time/temperature curve included in standard UNE EN 1363, representing the pattern of a fire occurring in a certain fire section, is not suitable for evaluating fires in tunnels.

Consequently, we shall study the effects on materials through fire simulations produced by the combustion of hydrocarbons.

Other effect observed in fires developed in tunnels is referred to as “spalling” or concrete spalling process. As temperature rises, water in the concrete evaporates. However, steam does not run off properly causing the internal pressure to increase and the layers closer to the fire to spall off.

Mercortecresa® has tested Tecwool® F mortar in a real scale tunnel exposed to a gasoil-caused fire. A 40 mm mortar application was enough to surpass the test performed in San Pedro de Anes by Tunnel Safety Testing S.A.

This kind of building solution is characterised by a ventilated space between the insulation and the external coating of the building.

The main feature of this facade is the so called “chimney effect”, which in summer causes the internal air to warm up and rise by convection. Its space is then occupied by fresh air avoiding heat build-up in the facade.

Conversely, this effect does not occur in winter since the air does not warm up to the point of generating this effect; however, in this case the ventilated facade acts as a heat accumulator.

Tecwool® T T is the perfect solution to provide a continuous and homogeneous coating to the entire facade, avoiding a reduction in the enclosure’s thermal resistance. Tecwool®T provides an effective sealing since its application is joint-free. It does not favour steam condensation from the space air either.

Tecwool® T has an A1 fire reaction classification and complies with DB SI (B-s3d2) requirements for coating materials of ventilation space internal surfaces.

TECWOOL® F&TBesides the application characterisation on concrete and steel, detailed in each of the solutions of this catalogue, the following considerations should be taken into account for the rest of the faces.

Wood: A wire mesh should be fixed to the support before applying the mortar.

Asbestos cement: Surface must be clean and without cracks between sheets.

Galvanised or pre-lacquered metallic sheet: An adhesive primer will be necessary before applying the mortar.

Synthetic plastic: An adhesive primer will be necessary before applying the mortar.

Plaster surfaces: Plenty of water will be necessary on the support before applying the mortar. If the exposed side of the face to be protected is extremely smooth, its surface must be rubbed or chipped off to improve Tecwool®. adherence. If the thickness is greater than 3 cm, a wire mesh should be fastened to the support.

Bricks or porous support: Plenty of water must be applied on the support before mortar is spread.

The surface to be protected should be free from dust, oil, waste, poorly attached particles, release agents, paint leftover, etc.

As a general rule, and regardless of the supporting structure to which the mortar is applied, for thickness values above 55 mm a wire mesh should be used.

Spreading process should be performed with the proper machine.

The latter pushes dry Tecwool® mortar through the hose all the way to the nozzle where it is mixed with plenty of sprayed water for its later application. The spreading machine provides a flow between 3.2 and 18 kg/min. Mortar is applied with a spreading gun perpendicular to the support at a distance between 50 and 150 cm.

Tecwool® cannot be applied above 40°C or below 2°C. It is recommended to use water with the application hose to wash dirt away from the faces. This will also help achieve a thermal balance between the mortar and the applied surface.

Tecwool® can provide different finishings: rugged, smooth, painted, etc., according to different aesthetic requirements. Once the spread is completed and in order to obtain a smooth finishing, a roller should be used and pressed slightly over the wet mortar until the desired finishing is obtained. It is possible to paint the mortar with elastic acrylic coatings to form a steam barrier. Before painting the mortar should be completely dry (28 days).

Once spread, mortar should be water sprayed superficially to ensure optimum settling of the cement.

Generally, all contraindications regarding cement apply to Tecwool®. Application of this product on non-ferrous metals is forbidden.

TECWOOL® 825A wire mesh should be fastened to the support with electro-welded nails or the like, before applying mortar.

The surface to be protected should be free from dust, oil, waste, poorly attached particles, paint leftover, etc.

It is recommended to use water with the application hose to wash dirt away from the faces.

In structures prone to bumps, a wooden mortar formwork could be installed. During the spreading, mortar is pressed with a roller in order to render Tecwool® 825 highly robust.

The spreading process is carried out with an appropriate machine, which pushes the Tecwool® 825 dry mortar through the hose all the way to the nozzle, where it is mixed with plenty of water to be applied later on. The spreading machine provides a flow between 3.2 and 18 kg/min. Mortar is applied with a spreading gun perpendicular to the support at a distance between 50 and 150 cm.
