Abstract
Based on the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link, the transient analytical solution of the steel shell immersed tunnel under the protection of fireproof board was deduced and verified through fire test. Then, the variation of the maximum temperature of the bottom steel shell with the thickness and thermal conductivity of the fireproof board was analyzed and suggestions on the selection of fireproof boards were given. Finally, a fitting formula for the maximum temperature of bottom steel shell was proposed. The results show that: (1) When the thermal contact resistance of the steel-concrete interface and the thermal resistance of cavity are 0.01 m2 °C/W and 0.02 m2 °C/W respectively under the case of 25 mm thick fireproof board, the variation of the analytical solution is consistent with test results, and the peak value is similar. (2) Based on the three-dimensional diagram of d -λ-T, with 300 °C as the fire resistance limit of structure, the range of the fireproof board parameters is obtained: when λ reaches 0.14 and 0.4 respectively, d shall not be less than 10 mm and 28.38 mm (3) The scatter points obtained from analysis were fitted using quadratic polynomials and linear functions respectively. Considering the accuracy and simplicity, the linear fitting formula is given as T = 275.66–7.41*d+644.6*λ.
