Definitions

• the present invention relates to a building with interior protection.
• a building is known according to the preamble of claim 1.
• a protective blanket against projectile effects is known in which a 30 cm thick water layer is provided over a 50 cm thick adipic acid glycerol ester layer and a 10 cm thick sand layer.
• the object of the invention is to improve the protection of the interior of buildings against the effects of events such as plane crashes.
• Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a building with an improved
• FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of a building with improved
• FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of a building with improved
• FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of a building with an improved
• FIG. 1 A first embodiment of the building with interior protection is described with reference to FIG. 1.
• the building has side walls 2, 3 extending in the longitudinal direction and a ceiling 4.
• the end walls arranged in the longitudinal direction are not shown in FIG. 1.
• Building 1 also has a floor 5.
• the side walls 2, 3, the end walls (not shown), the ceiling 4 and the floor 5 surround an interior space 6.
• the building 1 is used as an intermediate store for fuel elements of nuclear power plants, which are identified by the reference numeral 7 in FIG. 1 , Devices for handling and / or transporting the fuel elements, such as the crane arrangement 8, are provided in the interior of the building, for example.
• Air inlets 9 are provided in the side wall 2, of which an air inlet 9 is shown in cross section in FIG. 1.
• the air inlet 9 has an outer opening 9a on the outside (the side of the wall facing away from the interior) of the wall 2, an inner opening 9c on the inside (the side of the wall facing the interior) of the wall 2 and one of the outside opening 9a and the inside opening 9c connecting channel 9b.
• the inner opening 9c is arranged lower than the outer opening 9a in the vertical direction.
• the channel 9c has an extension 9d at its lower end in the vertical direction. This extension 9d is arranged lower than the inner opening 9c and serves to collect liquids that possibly enter the air inlet 9 through the opening 9a.
• the side wall 3 has corresponding air inlets 9, of which an air inlet 9 is also shown in FIG. 1. The path of the air flowing in through the air inlets 9 is shown by arrows in FIG. 1.
• the ceiling 4 is convex in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2.
• the ceiling 4 has air outlets 10, two of which are shown in FIG. 1.
• the air outlets 10 are preferably arranged approximately at the highest point of the ceiling curvature.
• the air outlets 10 have an inner opening 10a, an outer opening 10c and a channel 10b connecting the inner opening 10a and the outer opening 10c.
• a cover 11 for example in the form of a gable roof held by supports, is arranged above the outer opening 10c.
• check valves can be arranged in the air outlets 10, which are opened by air flowing outward from the interior 6 and closed by air or other objects flowing in the opposite direction (check). This means that the air outlets are protected by a non-return device that essentially blocks the vertical entry and passage of liquids, such as burning kerosene, and / or gases through the air outlet into the building.
• the building 1 is preferably made of reinforced concrete.
• the building 1 is dimensioned such that the building construction is collapse-proof against a predetermined event, such as the crash of a certain aircraft. This means, for example, that the design is such that the crash of an Airbus A320 with a weight of X tons at a speed of Y km / h and at a certain angle does not cause the building to collapse.
• the building can be dimensioned so that the crash does not lead to holes or the like in the building or that holes or cracks of a certain size are permitted.
• the ceiling 4 has at least one water container 12 which is formed in the ceiling. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the ceiling 4 has an underside 4a facing the interior 6 and an upper side 4b facing away from the interior.
• the upper and lower sides 4a and 4b delimit the water container 12.
• the lower side 4a of the ceiling 4 is the part of the ceiling which is dimensioned to be secure against collapse, while the upper side 4b is not dimensioned to be secure against collapse.
• a plane crash or other object impact would at least partially destroy the top 4b, with the water in the water tank 12 acting as a cushioning element and protecting the bottom 4a.
• the water would at least partially emerge from the water container 12 and run down on the outside of the building and this possibly, for example in the case of in the surroundings or on the building burning kerosene, cool.
• the first embodiment it is not the bottom 4a but the top 4b that is dimensioned to prevent it from collapsing. In this case, at least no significant damage to the water tank 12 would occur, so that the water would remain in the water tank 12 at least for the most part.
• valves are provided on the water tank 12 for the controlled dispensing of the water into the interior 6. This can be done, for example, by valve-controlled nozzles spray the water into the interior. Such a device is not shown in FIG. 1.
• kerosene that enters the channel 9b of the air inlet 9 through the outer opening 9a is collected in the extension 9d so that it cannot penetrate into the interior 6.
• the curvature of the ceiling 4 causes a flammable liquid, such as kerosene, which may reach the outer surface of the ceiling 4, to flow off to the side. Since the air outlets 10 are formed at or near the highest point of the ceiling, even if the cover 11 and / or a check valve should be damaged, no large amount of the combustible liquid enters the interior 6.
• the water tanks are divided into separate compartments in the longitudinal direction and / or in the transverse direction of the building. This makes it possible that either only a compartment of the water tank 12 is damaged and / or that at certain points in the building the water is drained from the corresponding compartment of the water tank without the water flowing into other compartments of the water tank.
• the side edges of the water container 12, which are in the vicinity of the side walls 2, 3 and the end walls, are reinforced so that an impact on this point does not lead to a complete emptying of the water tank. This is particularly advantageous if the water is provided for controlled delivery into the interior 6.
• the embodiment differs from the first embodiment essentially in that the ceiling 4 is not curved, but is formed with two sloping halves in the manner of a gable roof.
• the inclined design of the outside of the ceiling 4 also leads to the fact that any flammable liquids, such as kerosene, applied to the outside run off.
• the Air outlets 10 are also formed at or near the highest point (ridge) of the roof.
• FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the building with interior protection.
• the embodiment differs from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 in that the air outlets 10 of the first embodiment are replaced by air outlets 13, which are formed not only near the highest point but at several points along the curvature.
• the air outlets are preferably provided with check valves.
• FIG. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the building with interior protection, which also differs from the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2 only in that the air outlets 13 of the third embodiment are provided instead of the air outlets 10.
• the building 1 When used as an intermediate store for fuel elements of a nuclear power plant, the building 1 has, for example, a height h (see FIGS. 2, 4) of 10 to 30 m, preferably 18 m, a width b of 20 to 50 m, preferably 38 m, and a length in the longitudinal direction (perpendicular to the paper plane) of 80 to 150 m, preferably 92 m.
• the height of the water tank 12 in the vertical direction is in the range from 1 to 4 m, preferably 1.50 to 2.50 m.
• buildings 1 can have additional construction elements such as supports 14 or the like.
