| Abstract: |
In order to protect a bridge against the fire attack mainly due to the turning over accident of a tank lorry vehicle, a Fire Protection Panel has been developed by the authors, because it can see some serious damaged examples of viaduct and bridge by fire accident in USA, Germany, Japan and so on in a last decade. Some of those bridges had fall down by fire attack and self-weight of bridge. The developed standard external dimension of the fire protection panel has 500mm wide, 2000mm long and 80mm thickness. The panel consists of a steel frame, meshed bars and fire protecting materials of Ceramic Fiber Blanket and Autoclaved Lightweight aerated Concrete plate. The fire test of this panel was carried out to confirm the fire resisting performance by using the Hydrocarbon curve given by Eurocode. This paper shows the applicability of the Fire Protection Panel based on the test results and its construction details. |
