Abstract

Prefabricated fire panel for insulation of twin ships, of the type of which their covers rest on an intermediate and common wall, characterized in that it consists of a profiled piece of reinforced concrete, of t section, whose lower and middle branch is intended for resting on the upper edge of the wall, as an extension upwards of it, while its transverse branch forms an obtuse dihedral with its branches of variable inclination, in any case coinciding with the inclination or slope of the decks of the ships that converge on said panel.

Description

Prefabricated fire panel for insulation in Twin ships

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a panel prefabricated, specifically based on reinforced concrete, specially designed to establish a fire barrier between two twin ships, that is between two ships arranged laterally adjacent.

The object of the invention is to achieve a panel able to comply with safety regulations, to avoid that in In case of fire it can move from one ship to another, specifically at the level of the junction area between decks.

Background of the invention

Within the scope of industrial buildings is paired construction frequent, so that two ships laterally adjacent share the same intermediate wall, which acts as a physical separating element thereof.

This wall usually constitutes by itself a barrier to fire that prevents it from passing from one ship to another through it, but nevertheless the structure of the deck corresponding to both ships, which rests on the said common wall, if It constitutes a way to transmit a supposed fire
it gave.

To solve this problem and comply with current legal regulations, fireproof coating materials are used that, in addition to not strictly complying with the aforementioned regulations, have assembly and maintenance problems that have a considerable impact on the level of
cost.

Description of the invention

The fire panel that the invention proposes solves this problem fully satisfactorily, constituting a safe, efficient and economical solution.

For this and more specifically, said panel is materializes in a profiled piece of reinforced concrete of section in "T", whose middle and vertical branch is intended to support the dividing wall between both ships, and whose transverse branch and superior configures an obtuse dihedral, with an angulation for its branches according to the slope of the decks of the ships in question.

The middle branch establishes continuity with the wall as far as fire barrier is concerned, and its lateral branch or superior is of sufficient amplitude to act equally as cut fires, for which purpose it will have a joint width of preferably 120 cm, distance that is considered sufficient comma so that fire cannot jump from one of its edges to the other, to through the cover.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention is provided that the lower and free edge of its branch vertical this grooved to define a tongue and groove coupling With the upper edge of the wall.

The panel thus structured allows support on the ends of its lateral branches the lower straps of the respective decks, and in parallel establish between them and on the panel itself the water drainage channel for repeatedly cited decks, gutters that may arrive reach obviously 120 cm wide previously cited.

As for the thickness of the panel, it will be variable in function of the fire resistance that you want to achieve, of so that for an RF 120 the panels will be 15 cm thick and for an RF 180 said panels will have a thickness of 20 cm, while the metal armor of them, will also be variables depending on the expected length for each of said firewall panels.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of the same, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows, according to a view in perspective, a prefabricated fire panel for insulation Twin ships made in accordance with the purpose of this invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a profile of the same panel in work situation in the confluence zone of two ships twins

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

\hbox{1'20 m.}

In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be seen how the panel proposed by the invention is embodied in a reinforced concrete profile with a T-section and of variable length, with a lower and vertical branch (1), which is intended to rest on the dividing wall (2) between the pair of twin industrial warehouses, finishing in said lower branch (1) in a pair of upper and lateral branches (3-3 ') that, as seen especially in Figure 2, form an obtuse dihedral , with an inclination with respect to the horizontal coinciding with the inclination of the deck (4-4 ') of the ships in question, and with a length sufficient to establish an adequate distance between their ends (5-5') , to achieve an effective fire barrier that complies with the regulations, distancing that preferably and as previously stated will be of

 \ hbox {1'20 m.} 

As shown in Figure 2, the vertical branch (1) of the panel, can incorporate a groove longitudinal and medium (6) that allows a tongue and groove coupling to the wall or partition enclosure (2) between ships, to improve the insulation conditions in this coupling area.

The structure of the roofs will rest on the pillars (7) interspersed in the wall (2) and the straps (8), specifically the lower end strap of each cover (4), support not only on the general support structure of the roof, if not also on the marginal zone of the transverse branches (3-3 ') of the plate, as shown in the figure 2.

Between these straps (8-8 ') is establish, as is conventional, the classic gutter (9) to water evacuation

As previously said armor of the plate (1-3) will be variable depending on the expected length for it, which logically can in turn be very variable, and its thickness will be equally variable depending on the degree of fire resistance desired in each case.

Claims (3)

1. Prefabricated fireproof panel for insulation of twin ships, of the type of which their roofs rest on an intermediate and common wall, characterized in that it consists of a profiled piece of reinforced concrete, of T section, whose lower and middle branch is destined to rest on the upper edge of the wall, as an ascending extension of it, while its transverse branch forms an obtuse dihedral with its branches of variable inclination, in any case coinciding with the inclination or slope of the roofs of the ships that converge on said panel. 2. Prefabricated fire panel for insulation of twin ships, according to claim 1, characterized in that with a variable length, the width of its transverse branch is preferably of the order of 120 cm, to ensure the barrier effect to fire, and the thickness of its two Branches are variable depending on the level of fire resistance pursued, such as 15 or 20 cm, the metal reinforcement of said panel being adequate to the length provided for it. 3. Prefabricated fire panel for insulation of twin ships, according to previous claims, characterized in that at the free edge of its vertical or lower branch incorporates a groove for tongue and groove coupling to the upper edge of the wall that separates the twin ships.
