Software design fire presering training and fitness complex for training of rescuers and fire
PURPOSE. The research is dedicated to substantiation of the choice of ways and means to protect building structures of educational and training systems for training rescuers and firefighters from repeated exposure to high temperature (1200 ºC), as well as the development of testing methods of fire protection structures of these objects. METHODS. The analysis of the operation of educational and training systems for training rescuers and firefighters in Europe and the USA. The analysis of thermal properties of materials with high fire resistance and thermal stability. FINDINGS. The results of the analysis show that the most effective means of fire protection of structures from the effects of repeated high temperature are refractory ceramic materials having high thermal resistance. APPLICATION FIELD OF RESEARCH. The results can be used in the design of fire protection structures of educational and training systems for the training of fire rescue, as well as objects with a high level of responsibility (tunnels, high-rise buildings). CONCLUSIONS. Protection of constructions of educational and training complexes for the preparation of fire-and rescue workers from repeated high temperature exposure may be achieved through structural fire protection with the use of refractory ceramic materials.
