Experimental Study on Feasibility of New Scaffold Construction Scheme in Preventing Fire Spread

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of fire risk of the traditional scaffold construction scheme, a new type of scaffold construction scheme was proposed. In the vertical layout of scaffold board, this scheme alternately arranged to take the "two layers of bamboo fence one layer steel fence". In order to verify the feasibility of the prevention of the spread of fire about the new scaffold construction scheme, three groups of fire experiments were designed. By the analysis of experimental phenomena and data results, it is concluded that the steel fence boards used as isolation layers in the new scaffold construction scheme can effectively mitigate the risk of fire spreading upward or downward along the burning scaffold.
