Passive and active fire protection — The optimum combination
Fire Technology, 1974The 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, 2011The 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
2019An 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.

Fire Impact and Passive Fire Protection of Infrastructure: State of the Art
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 2013AbstractBuilt infrastructure in the United States is generally susceptible to damage or collapse if subjected to severe fire conditions, such as those associated with the burning of a fully loaded gasoline tanker truck. Because of the importance and heavy use of transportation systems within the United States, it is critical that susceptibilities to ...

Fire Assessment of Steel Beam Members With Partial Passive Fire Protection Coverage
Volume 8: Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Fluids, 2012In offshore structures there are instances where the application of passive fire protection (PFP) is not possible or desired on certain portions of a structural member’s surface area. The most common cases are those where the top surface is left unprotected due to the presence of deck grating or plating.

Passive fire protection measures for concrete tunnels
1999executed or in the process of designing; worth mentioning are the Western Scheld tunnel (approximately 2x6.5 km), the tunnels in the Betuwe railway and the tunnels in the HSL (high velocity train) railway. The most prominent of these tunnels will be executed as bored tunnels. The Directorate-General of Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat,
