Effects of Fire Outbreak, Gas Flaring, And Global Warmings on Building and Structures
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The effect of fire outbreak, gas flaring and global warming on building and environment has been considered. Different residential, commercial and industrial buildings were considered at insitu fire gutted conditions and at perimeter distance intervals of 100m, 120m, 140m, 160m, and 180m away from the flare stack respectively. The Non-destructive tests were carried on the structural members and non structural members of these facilities to determine the integrity and strength. The observed gutted markets stanchions has a minimum steel stanchion yielding strength of 9.5N/mm2 and a maximum yielding strength of 22.8N/mm2 for 152 stanchion studied at a temperature range of over 200°c to 300°c of 2 to 3 hours fire intensity. The observed average room temperature for vary distance intervals were 33°c, 28°c, 26°c, 25°c , 24°c, away from the flare stack. The observed strength of other structural elements i.e. beams; columns and slabs were of minimum value 9.81N/mm2 and maximum value of 23.05N/mm2 . The result therefore suggests that there is appreciable deterioration in the strength of both structural and non structural member due to fire outbreak, gas flaring and global warming in building.
