In the study, Monte Carlo simulations were conducted to obtain the reliability index or failure probability of steel columns protected by ICs subjected to compartment fires.  The effect of aging of intumescent coatings on the failure probability of protected steel columns was investigated by using variable insulation property of intumescent coatings in the simulation. The test data on aging effect on insulation property of intumescent coatings from literature was used. Based on the reliability analysis, a probabilistic approach is given to determine the service life of intumescent coatings for steel columns. In that approach, the failure probability of the protected steel columns is compared with the target probability of the structural fire design. The approach can also be used for probabilistic analysis of steel columns protected by conventional inert fire protection materials.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Building materialsStructural materialsQuality controlReliabilityIndustrial safetyBuilding Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23047Structural Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z11000Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Riskhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22032Building materials.Structural materials.Quality control.Reliability.Industrial safety.Building Materials.Structural Materials.Quality Control, Reliability, Safety and Risk.671.73Zhang Chaoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut672955MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299705903321Reliability of Steel Columns Protected by Intumescent Coatings Subjected to Natural Fires1412808UNINA
