1 Numerical temperature calculation for composite deck slabs exposed to fire J.M. Davies & H.B. Wang Telford Institute of Structures and Materials Engineering, University of Salford, Salford ABSTRACT Large scalefiretests on elements of building construction are extremely expensive and there are considerable benefits to be gained if testing can be replaced by calculation. Numerical heat transfer analysis can therefore play an important role in predicting the effect of fire exposure on structural elements. In this paper, a two-dimensional finite element method is employed to determine the time-dependant temperature distribution in the cross-section of steel/concrete composite deck slabs exposed to standard fire conditions. The effects of the temperature-dependent thermal properties of materials, moisture content and boundary conditions have all received detailed study. A series of careful fire tests, conducted by P.W. Haar et al[l], were utilised to verify the accuracy of numerical model and excellent agreement between the observed and calculated temperature distributions was obtained. INTRODUCTION In both the building and offshore industries, it is now common practice to design the main framing members, floor slabs, internal partition walls and cladding to withstand the effects of fire. Normally the classification of the fire resistance of these structural elements is based on fire tests in which the element is subjected to a standard timetemperature regime using a suitable furnace. These tests are expensive and obtaining an optimum design with regard to the specified fire performance is difficult. In contrast, numerical methods offer an alternative rapid and cost effective approach to the solution of heat transfer problems and, with some refinement, available methods can be used to give accurate predictions of the results of furnace testing. In this paper, a two-dimensional finite element model is employed to calculate the temperature profile in steel/concrete composite deck slabs exposed to fire. These deck slabs normally span in one direction and comprise profiled steel sheeting which acts as both permanent formwork and reinforcement to the in-situ concrete, as shown in Fig. 1. A rapid increase in the use of this form of construction in the UK has taken place during the last 15 years. This is due in part to the possibility of demonstrating adequate fire resistance without the necessity of any addedfireprotection.
2 332 Heat Transfer concrete steel deck Figure 1: Typical composite deck slab Haar, Hamerlinck, Twilt and Brekelmans [1] conducted a number of fire tests on composite decks with the primary object of verification of their numerical models. Unlike some other test reports, sufficient information was provided for the numerical analysis to be replicated. They also published a finite difference comparison for some of these results [2]. However, there is scope for refinement of their theoretical evaluations, particularly with respect to the treatment of the influence of the moisture content of the concrete and this is undertaken in the present paper. FINITE ELEMENT MODEL The general two-dimensional heat transfer differential equation is solved by the finite element method (FEM) in order to obtain the transient temperature field. Since the principles of FEM for heat transfer problems are well known [3], the detailed formulation will not be repeated here. The finite element meshes for the analysis of floor decks using the re-entrant "Super Holorib 51" profile are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Analyses of other tested decks with trapezoidal profiles, as shown in Fig.l, gave similar results. Because of the periodic nature of this form of construction, only part of the cross-section is used in the calculation. It was shown by measurements made during testing [1] that the heat transfer in the longitudinal direction of the slab can be neglected. It follows that the temperature distribution is not significantly influenced by the presence of any additional steel reinforcement in the form of longitudinal bars or mesh. The elements are assigned thermal properties of the materials which depend on the average nodal temperature. These thermal properties are specified at a number of temperature levels and are assumed to vary linearly between these. Owing to the rapid temperature rise specified in standard fire conditions, a rather short time step is needed as the analysis proceeds. An explicit direct time integration approach is therefore appropriate. BOUNDARY CONDITIONS In the tests, the slabs were positioned on the top of the fire compartment with their bottom face exposed to the fire. This represents a more severe situation than the alternative with the fire burning above the floor. The temperature development in the fire compartment was controlled to follow the ISO 834 standard time-temperature curve as shown in Fig.4. A corresponding measured temperature in the fire compartment is used to generate an appropriate boundary condition in the numerical modelling.

At the unexposed side of the slab, the general formula for free convection at a horizontal surface is used, namely [4]: h(t) = 1.52 (T^ - T) 1/3 (2) At the exposed side of slab, although the heat transfer coefficient h and the resultant emissivity E are usually considered to be constant, a distinction needds to be made between the lower flange, upper flange and web because the heat transfer to upper flange and web is partially obstructed. After first making reasonable assumptions, these parameters were adjusted in order to improve the fit with the test results. The values used in the analyses quoted later are summarised in Table 1.

Specimen 8 is Super Holorib 51/Hb=90mm (Fig.3) with the steel deck. In the above tables, 'If refers to the lower flange, 'uf refers to the upper flange and 'wb' denotes the web. THE EFFECT OF MOISTURE CONTENT ON HEAT TRANSFER The concrete slabs were made using normal-weight concrete B25. Although they were subjected to a long period of both natural and forced drying, they still contained about 3% moisture content on the day of the test. The levels of moisture content for each specimen derived from the test report [1] are given in Table 2. Specimen Moisture Content Table 2: Moisture content of test specimens (mass percentage of dry weight) It is well known that the heat transfer in moist materials is influenced significantly by the moisture content. However, the mechanism of the combination of heat and moisture transfer in structural elements is quite complicated. The process strongly depends on the temperature and moisture distribution, pore pressure, multiphase mass transfer and nonlinear material properties. A simple engineering approach is developed here which concentrates mainly on heat transfer, and disregard mass transfer and the build-up of internal pressure. The influence of moisture is simulated by considering the energy demand of evaporation. Although the distribution of moisture throughout the slab profile is not necessarily uniform, for simplicity it is assumed to be so in the current numerical modelling. According to this model, moisture evaporation is assumed to take place during a temperature interval of say 100 C to 130 C, and the latent heat energy of evaporation is added into the heat capacity of the material. The normal heat energy of evaporation is taken as 2.25x10* J/kg [4], and the additional specific heat is obtained from 2.25 (3) where: DCp e is the additional specific heat. is the moisture content expressed as the percentage by weight
5 Heat Transfer 335 DT A is the magnitude of the given temperature interval is a correction factor. It is found by comparing the numerical analysis with the test results that the conventional value of the latent heat of vaporization, namely 2.25x10* J/kg, is a significant under-estimation of the extra energy which needed to drive off the water from moist materials. Thus the factor A > 1 is introduced in equation (3). This implies that the moisture migration does not take place unimpeded and a cycle of evaporation and condensation is set up. A = 1.5 is found to give a satisfactory correlation with the experimental results for the cases considered in this paper. Using equation (3) in this way, the rate of increase of temperature will be slowly reduced (but not halted) in the given temperature interval. The advantage of this approach is that a gradual increase of temperature during vaporization can be simulated. Another influence of moisture content is related to thermal conductivity. This will be discussed in next section. THERMAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS Since the steel sheet forming the deck profile is thin and its thermal conductivity is high, the heat capacity and conduction resistance of steel sheet may be neglected. Nevertheless, the emissivity of the galvanized steel sheet has to be taken into account on the exposed side of specimens 1 and 8. This is the reason that the resultant emissivities on exposed side of specimens 1 and 8 are lower than those for specimen 11 (see Table 1). The effective thermal conductivity of moist concrete will display an apparent increase when the concrete is heated. This is not only because some of the gaps in the solid matrix are bridged by water, which is a better conductor of heat than air, but also because additional heat can be transferred by the migration of moisture. Thus, the relationship between conductivity and temperature shown in Table 3 is used for normal-weight concrete (density = 2350 kg/nf) with a moisture content around 3%. It may be noted that the highest conductivity is at a temperature of 100 C. Temperature ( C) Conductivity (W/m C) Table 3. Thermal conductivity of concrete The specific heat of completely dry concrete is 900 J/kg C at 0 C, and 1300 J/kg C at 1200 C. The specific heat of concrete including the influence of moisture content can be calculated using
6 336 Heat Transfer 4250e (J/kg C) (4) where: Cp Cpo e is the final specific heat. is the specific heat of the material in the dry state. is the moisture content expressed as percentage by weight. The value of the final specific heat and conductivity given by this procedure are consistent with the recommendations of the ECCS [5]. NUMERICAL RESULTS Numerical calculations were carried out for the three specimens mentioned above using the finite element meshes shown in Figs.2 and 3. In order to obtain coincidence between the positions of the thermocouples and the element nodes, there are slight dimensional variations between the meshes for slabs with and without steel sheets. The comparison of the observed and calculated time-temperature curves for selected points are presented in Figures 4 to 7. The 'No.' on the graphs denotes the 'Node Number' in the finite element mesh (see Figs.2 and 3). The calculated results show good agreement with the test results. The calculation time is just a few minutes with a PC 486 using a time-step At = 2sec. Temp«ratur9 (C) Time In mlna Figure 4: Results for specimen 1, Super Holorib 51, Hb = 70 mm with steel sheet. The calculations for specimen 8 provide a particularly good confirmation of the accuracy of the modelling. The shape of cross-section of specimen 8 is similar to that of specimen 1, except that the concrete depth is increased to 90mm. All input data for the numerical calculation for specimen 8 was therefore a copy of that for specimen 1 except for the mesh geometry and moisture content. An excellent prediction was again obtained.

Temperature (DEG C) Time In mine Figure 6: Results for specimen 8, Super Holorib 51, Hb = 90mm with steel sheet. In spite of the high thermal conductivity that was assigned to moist concrete around 100 C, the temperature rise is still delayed in this range as shown in Figs.5 and 6. Nevertheless, the present analysis gives better correlation with the test results than was obtained by the authors of reference [2]. The total extra energy needed for evaporation of moisture therefore seems to be correctly estimated. Some discrepancies between the observed and calculated results occur on the exposed side of slabs with steel sheets during the initial and final stages of the tests. In the initial stage, the relatively slow rise of measured temperature was probably caused by the congestion of steam while, in the final stages of the tests, the rapid rise of measured temperature might be a consequence of debonding of the steel sheet. Cracks
8 338 Heat Transfer appearing in the concrete towards the end of fire testing also enhance the heat transmission through the slabs. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS The numerical results presented above show that an accurate prediction of the temperature development in a composite steel/concrete deck slab exposed to fire is available. Its use requires the determination of a number of parameters, namely, the moisture content and its distribution, the energy needed for evaporation, the value of thermal conductivity under the influence of moisture, and the actual heat input from fire compartment. For a prescribed time-temperature development, the parameters that determine the radiative and convective heat loading from the fire compartment to the exposed side of the test sample differ from case to case. With the extremely complicated turbulence of hot gas inside the test furnace, it is difficult to give accurate values of them in advance of any testing. The comparisons give here suggest that the values of both the emissivity of the fire compartment and the heat transfer coefficient (see equation(l)) are high at the start of the test when the temperature is increasing rapidly. They then decrease as the rate of temperature increase decreases. On the other hand, the galvanized steel sheet shows low emissivity for low temperatures. When the temperature exceeds 400 C, however, the zinc layer melts and the surface blackens with the result that its emissivity increases. For the combination of these two effects, a constant resultant emissivity appears to provide a reasonable assumption for the radiative heat exchange between the steel sheet and the fire compartment. For the concrete slab alone, although a constant value was chosen for simplicity, the numerical results would probably be improved if variable emissivity was used. The use of high thermal conductivity for moist concrete at around 100 C gives a good prediction of the behaviour as the moisture evaporates. An accurate value of the extra energy needed for vaporization is also important. REFERENCES 1. P.W. van de Haar et al.
