Methodology remaining lifetime determination of the building structures

Abstract

With the help of a previously developed technique based on the solution of inverse and direct problems of heat conductivity, the fire resistance of a hollow-core reinforced concrete floor with “Neosprei” fireretardant plaster coating was estimated. The thermal and physical characteristics, as well as characteristics of the fire-proof ability of “Neosprei” fire-retardant plaster coating, have been determined. The conclusion has been made on the effectiveness of this coating and on the boundaries of the fire-retardant coatings use to ensure the normed values of the fire resistance degree of hollow-core reinforced concrete floors, including in the mining industry.
