Fire Resistance of an Assembled Integrated Enclosure Panel System

Due to increasing economic development in recent years, large-scale prefabricated structures have been used for substations. However, the assembly of steel structures suffers from technical problems, such as the mismatch between the fire protection level of the main structure and the enclosure system. This paper proposes an assembled integrated enclosure panel system for covering and fireproofing steel structures, such as beams and columns, consisting of sandwich wall panels and autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC) wall panels covering the main steel structure. Fire resistance tests were carried out for each part and the entire integrated enclosure panel system to fully investigate its fire resistance performance. ALC and gypsum were selected as the external fire protection materials for the sandwich wall panel test for theoretical analysis and fire resistance test. The fire resistance test results show that the designed solutions of sandwich wall panels and ALC panels covering steel beams and columns meet the fire protection requirements of the ISO-834 standard fire test. The proposed size scheme of the integrated enclosure panel system is an integrated sandwich wall panel composed of 50 mm thick ALC board + 50 mm thick rock wool layer + 50 mm thick ALC board and the integrated structure of 100 mm thick ALC board covering beams and columns. The designed U-shaped connectors between the wall panels are suitable for the assembled integrated enclosure panel system.
