Risk-Based Passive Fire-Protection Optimization

Oil and Gas Facilities, 2014
Summary Passive fire protection (PFP) has been used in the oil and gas industry for many years as a method to avoid/delay global collapse of offshore installations. However, location of PFP has normally been based on simplistic assumptions, standards, guidance, and methods that do not always consider the real response of the structure to

Specifics of Passive Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants

Occupational Safety in Industry, 2023
Passive fire protection systems (elements) are the most preferred for use to ensure nuclear and radiation safety of the nuclear power plants in case of internal and external fires. The main passive fire protection systems (elements) of the nuclear power plants include: fire-resistant structures (walls, ceilings, columns, screens, etc.); fire-resistant ...

Passive fire protection of concrete structures

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings, 2008
Passive fire protection of concrete structures is chiefly aimed at combating explosive thermal spalling, which relies on two underlying mechanisms: (a) the build-up of pore pressures and (b) the development of thermal stresses. The former could be alleviated, or eliminated, by the use of polypropylene (PP) fibres in the mix.

Fire resistance of passive fire protection coatings after long-term weathering

Process Safety and Environmental Protection, 2010
Passive fire protection (PFP) systems are widely used by the oil, gas and chemical industries to protect offshore and onshore facilities against the effects of fire. However, there are concerns that the performance of PFP systems in a fire may have deteriorated because of weathering and/or that corrosion of the protected item may be taking place ...

Passive Fire Protection Considerations for Oil Sands Applications

CORROSION 2020, 2020
Abstract Oil sands projects have unique features due to process conditions and environmental factors. Process safety risks such as fire hazards are typically mitigated through application of Passive Fire Protection (PFP). Cementitious and intumescent PFP types are commonly used to protect plant structures.

Fires, statistics, ignition sources, and passive fire protection measures

Journal of Fire Sciences, 2016
Although the number of fires continuously decreases, there are still too many fatalities. A comprehensive review of fire statistics shows upholstered furniture to cause most fire deaths, followed by electrical distribution fires. In transportation, car and bus fires are a major problem.

Passive and active fire protection — The optimum combination

Fire Technology, 1974
The authors discuss a model that shows how to trade off sprinklers against fire resistance to arrive at the economic optimum in protection. The economic optimum combination is that which minimizes the sum of costs and expected loss.

Cost‐Benefit Analysis of Passive Fire Protections in Road LPG Transportation

Risk Analysis, 2011
The cost‐benefit evaluation of passive fire protection adoption in the road transport of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was investigated. In a previous study, mathematical simulations of real scale fire scenarios proved the effectiveness of passive fire protections in preventing the “fired” boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE), thus ...

Passive fire protection for road tunnel structures

2019
An essential element of a tunnel lining design is to ensure that the final lining will not fail due to the high temperatures, which may be developed during a fire. For testing the fire resistance of the passive fire protection materials, a series of standard time – temperature curves have been developed which last maximum three hours.
