Th e prevention of the destruction of buildings and structures during a fi re is ensured through strict compliance with requirements for the necessary fi re resistance rating and classifi cation. To guaran- tee reliable and safe operation during the design and construction stages, building materials and struc- tures classifi ed according to their reaction to fi re and assessed by fi re resistance class have been required. Problem Statement. Since modern testing installations (furnaces) predominantly reproduce only the temperature regime of a standard fi re, while other heating regimes remain diffi cult or impossible to simulate, the development and application of specialized testing installations and chambers capable of experimentally providing the required temperature exposures are highly relevant.

According to applicable building standards in Uk- raine and internationally, the behavior of buil- ding structures under fire conditions must be con- sidered at the design stage of a building or struc- ture. A fire results in thermal exposure to building structures, which can lead to the failure of indi- vidual structural elements and, in severe cases, the collapse of the entire building. Preventing the destruction of building structures during a fire requires strict compliance with design standards, particularly those related to ensuring the required fire resistance rating of structural elements. According to [1], depending on the type of buil- ding structure — for example, walls, partitions, or floors — the period during which the structure must maintain its thermal and mechanical proper- ties is specified. These properties include integri- ty, load-bearing capacity, and thermal insulation capacity. For instance, a load-bearing wall in a buil ding with the first degree of fire resistance must maintain its performance characteristics for 150 min, whereas a load-bearing wall in a building with the fourth degree of fire resistance is required to maintain these properties for 30 min. This para- meter is critical for limiting the spread of fire wi thin and between buildings and directly affects the safe evacuation of occupants, the protection of proper- ty, and the effectiveness of firefighting operations. The current state of building and structural de- sign is characterized by a wide variety of architec- tural, planning, and structural solutions, including high-rise buildings, large floor areas, atriums, and various types of staircases, roofs, and complex- shaped coverings. In addition, modern construc- tion widely uses both traditional building materials and structures — such as steel and reinforced con- c rete — and their combinations with new materials used for cladding, finishing, or improving struc- tural strength and durability during operation. To ensure the reliability and safety of buildings and structures, their design and construction requi- re the use of building products and structural ele- ments that are classified according to their reaction to fire and evaluated by fire resistance class [1, 2]. Consequently, studies investigating the influence of fire temperature regimes on the fire resistance of building structures remain highly relevant. Research on the fire resistance of building struc- tures and the effectiveness of fire-protection coa- tings is essential for ensuring the safe operation of buildings and structures. In particular, researchers focus on determining the influence of nominal and alternative fire temperature regimes on the fire re- sistance limits of building structures. The influence of the standard fire temperature regime on steel building structures is examined in [3—5], where calculation-based and experimen- tal methods for assessing the fire resistance of pro- tected steel structures are presented. These studies also propose methodologies for evaluating fire- protective coatings by solving inverse heat con- duction problems based on fire test data. In [6, 7], the authors develop a computational system for analyzing steel, concrete, and composite structures 68 ISSN 2409-9066. Sci. innov. 2026. 22(3) Veselivskyi, R. B., Kovalyshyn, V. V., Yakovchuk, R. S., Havrys, A. P., and Tarnavskyi, A. B. under standard fire conditions, demonstrating its potential for thermostructural analysis during the design of building structures. Furthermore, the ef- fect of standard fire exposure on the fire resistance of double-bonded precast concrete composite slabs, composite floors, beams, and decks is investiga- ted in [8—11], demonstrating the effectiveness of composite materials and their positive influence on the fire resistance of the studied structures. The impact of a hydrocarbon fire on cold-rolled steel columns was considered in [12], where the authors used the ABAQUS software package to develop a numerical finite element model to study the fire resistance, structural and thermal response of axially supported columns. Using the ANSYS computer program, Chaojie Song et al. [13] pre- sented an approach to studying the behavior of prestressed reinforced concrete box girders under the influence of hydrocarbon fire, where they pre- sented the response of the girders to the com- bined effect of the duration of fire exposure and simultaneous structural loading. In study [14], the correlation between the values of the time in- terval for maintaining the fire resistance of pro- tected steel structures obtained for fire exposure under the temperature conditions of hydrocar- bon and external fires and the values of this time interval for the standard temperature regime was estimated by the calculation method. Papers [15, 16] present the behavior and comparison of the effectiveness of reactive fire protective coatings in modeling scenarios of standard and hydrocarbon fires. Also, studies of the fire resistance of buil- ding structures using a hydrocarbon fire are rele- vant to the petroleum and gas chemical industry, which are updated and presented in [17—19]. Studies on determining the impact of the ex- ternal fire regime and the parametric fire regime on building structures are presented in scholarly research papers [20—24], as a rule, the impact of these alternative fire regimes is reproduced by the calculation method. Taking into account the review of publications, it should be noted that for the study of fire resis- tance of building structures and the effectiveness of fire protection of coatings, the influence of not only the standard fire regime but also the external fire regime, hydrocarbon and parametric regimes is used. Given the fact that modern installations (furnaces) for research usually create the tempe- rature of a standard fire, and the reproduction of other heating modes is difficult, and in some cases impossible, it is important to create and use spe- cial installations, test chambers that can experi- mentally reproduce both standardized and alter- native (realistic) temperature effects. The aim of the work is to study the possibility of experimentally reproducing the thermal effects of nominal and alternative fire modes using an innovative installation, the principle of operation of which is to heat the internal space of the fur- nace using electric heating elements. To achieve the set goal, the following tasks we- re solved:  analysis of the use of standardized and alterna- tive temperature regimes to assess the fire resis- tance class of building structures or the fire pro- tection effectiveness of fire-retardant coatings;  using a test installation, the principle of opera- tion of which is to heat the internal space of the furnace using electric heating elements, to in- vestigate the dependence of the heating of the rig chamber on the required temperature regime;  conduct experimental studies of the reproduci- bility of the experimental setup of the external fire regime, the slowly developing fire regime and the parametric fire regime. The scientific novelty of the work lies in estab- lishing the heating and cooling characteristics of an innovative installation, the principle of opera- tion of which is to heat the internal space of the furnace using electric heating elements during experimental reproduction of nominal and alter- native fire modes. Applicable international standards for asses- sing the fire resistance of a building structure, which is determined by the time (in min) from the start of the fire test, use standardized nominal modes that correspond to a conditional fire scena- rio. Thus, standards [25—27] provide for the pos- 69ISSN 2409-9066. Sci. innov. 2026. 22(3) Innovative Approach to the Experimental Reproduction of Nominal and Alternative Fire Regimes sibility of determining the fire resistance class of a building structure according to standardized tem- perature conditions with appropriate designa- tions in the case of using a particular fire mode. These temperature regimes include: standard temperature regime, hydrocarbon fire regime with the “HC” designation, external fire regime with the “ef” designation, slowly developing fire regime with the IncSlow designation, and parametric fire re- gime. The test procedure for additional/alternative modes regulated by [28] provides for the hea ting conditions of building structures, the need for ex- perimental reproduction of which arises under cer- tain conditions when a scenario different from the values of the temperature impact of the standard fire mode is identified during the development of a real fire. The graphs of the dependence of heating curves in the modes of hydrocarbon fire, slowly de- veloping fire (smoldering fire), external fire and the standard temperature curve are shown in Fig. 1. An example of a possible use of the hydrocar- bon fire regime is in the petrochemical industry, oil drilling platforms, nuclear power plants, etc. whe re there is a risk of very high intensity fires, for examp- le, due to a flammable liquid spill. Since hydro- carbon fires are characterized by high temperatu- res and high speed of development, when experi- mentally reproducing this mode, the temperature in the test furnace (installation) should vary accor- ding to the dependence described by Eq. 1. 0.167 2.51080[1 0.325 0.675 ] 20,tT e e     (1) where: t is the time interval from the beginning of the test, min; T is the average temperature in the furnace, С. The need for an experimental assessment of the fire resistance class of building structures un der the external fire regime can be justified when a structure or product is exposed to a fire within a fire compartment. For example, when it is necessary to reproduce the impact of a fire on the exterior of isolated exterior walls that may be exposed to fire from different parts of the facade: directly from inside the corresponding fire com- Fig. 1.

As a rule, this fire regime can be used to assess the fire resistance class of the building envelope. In this case, the temperature of this cur- ve will be described by Eq. 2. 0.32 3.8660[1 0.687 0.313 ] 20,t tT e e     (2) where: t is the time interval from the beginning of the test, min; T is the average temperature in the furnace, С. The slow fire mode can be used to test struc- tures, usually when they are combined with pro- ducts or materials that have reactive properties. In this case, the temperature effect on the structures will have the peculiarity of slow heating of the test specimen in the first 20 min from the start of the test. The dependence of the temperature change on time should be in accordance with Eqs. 3 and 4: for 0 < t ≤ 21 0.25154 20T t  ; (3) for t > 21  10345log 8 ( 20) 1 20.T t    (4) It should be noted that [26, 27] provide for the possibility of using a parametric temperature-ti me dependence to assess the thermal impact of a fire on buildings and structures. When applying this regi- me, it is assumed that a fire occurs in a compartment up to 500 m2 without openings in the coating and a maximum compartment height of 4 m. This tempe- rature regime is characterized by two phases: hea- ting and cooling. During the hea ting phase, the tem- perature change dependence is described by Eq. 5. g = 20 0.21325 (1 0.324 te    1.7 190.204 0.472 ),t te e     (5) where: g is the ambient gas temperature in the fire compartment, С; t* = t · ; where: t is the time of fire development, h;  is the coefficient that includes the parameters of the fire compartment, such as specific heat ca- pacity, thermal conductivity, density and area of enclosing structures, area of vertical openings, window height and specific fire load.

The considered standardized (nominal) and al- ternative (parametric) fire temperature regimes make it possible to assess the fire resistance class of building structures and to evaluate the fire- protection effectiveness of fire-protective coatings using both experimental and computational me- thods. Such approaches do not contradict the applicable standards of Ukraine or international standards. The selection of a possible fire scena- rio and, consequently, the corresponding tempe- rature exposure plays a key role in the accuracy of the calculated or experimental data obtained regarding the duration during which a structural system, its individual components, or a separate structure is able to satisfy the criteria of load- bearing and/or enclosing capacity. Traditionally, the most comprehensive and reliable results used by both designers and researchers have been ob- tained through combined theoretical (computa- tional) and experimental studies. In theoretical studies, a computational (computer) model has been developed that most accurately reflects the geometric and thermophysical characteristics of a particular building structure (or structural sys- tem) subjected to temperature exposure accor- ding to Eqs. (1—6). Such modeling makes it pos- sible to obtain a substantial amount of research data while allowing variation of key parameters, 71ISSN 2409-9066. Sci. innov. 2026. 22(3) Innovative Approach to the Experimental Reproduction of Nominal and Alternative Fire Regimes including fire development conditions, fire load, air flow, compartmentalization into fire compart- ments, and the thermal properties of enclosing and load-bearing structures. To confirm the results of theoretical studies, it is necessary to obtain experimental data on the res- ponse of an element or structure to the thermal effects of fire for subsequent comparison. Modern test furnaces [30] make it possible to reproduce the standard fire temperature regime, which is lo- gical because the experimental determination of the fire resistance class of building structures du- ring their use in construction is typically perfor- med under such standardized thermal conditions. However, previous studies [31—35] have shown that deviations from the standard fire regime are not uncommon. Consequently, researchers have de veloped methods that allow temperature effects with such deviations to be correlated with stan- dardized conditions [36—39]. The fundamental standard [1] establishes that calculation methods may be used to assess the fire resistance of the structural system of build- ings, parts of structural systems, and individual building structures of any type; to interpolate and extrapolate the results of fire resistance tests of building structures; to evaluate the fire-protection effectiveness of fire-protective coatings; and to determine the scope of the extended application of these results. In addition, it is possible to calcu- late the fire resistance of building structures un- der fire conditions other than the standard fire regime. In such cases, approaches based on the consideration of a conditional or real fire scenar- io should be applied to assess fire resistance. If the test furnace and equipment comply with the applicable standards and are used correctly, reproducing the standard fire condition does not present significant difficulty. However, the experi- mental reproduction of other nominal (standar di- zed) and alternative (parametric) fire conditions — such as external fire conditions, slow-heating fire conditions, and parametric fire conditions — re- quires special attention and further research. As a rule, it is difficult to experimentally reproduce the temperature–time dependencies described by Eqs. (2—6). This difficulty arises from the design characteristics of test furnaces, the power limita- tions of burners, and the complexity of accurately controlling temperature variations during heating and cooling. To investigate the possibility of reproducing the standard fire temperature regime, the external fire regime, the slowly developing fire regime, and the parametric fire regime, an installation for de- termining the fire protection capacity (efficiency) of fireproof coatings and testing the fire resistance of small fragments of building structures was de- signed and constructed, the principle of which is to heat the interior of the furnace using electric heating elements [40] (hereinafter referred to as the test installation). The test installation is a cube with an internal chamber measuring 500 × 500 × 500 mm. The bo- dy is thermally insulated with vermiculite plates (50 mm thick) covered with steel sheets. To create a temperature effect on the test samples, a heating radiation panel is used, which consists of three heaters with a power of 4 kW each, powered by 220 V. The test sample is secured using special bra- ckets, which together form a mounting system. The sample for testing fire protection efficiency is a square steel plate (side length 500 mm) with a Fig. 2. Structural diagram of the test facility Source: prepared by the authors.

Sci. innov. 2026. 22(3) Innovative Approach to the Experimental Reproduction of Nominal and Alternative Fire Regimes from the electric heating elements and at the sa- me distance from the test sample, depending on the conditions of the experiments. A schematic diagram of the test setup is shown in Fig. 2. Using the design features of the test facility, na- mely the ability to increase or decrease the tempe- rature on the heating surface of the prototype using the heating temperature regulator and the ability to approach or remove the prototype to the radiation panel along the guides, the standard fire tempera- ture regime was experimentally reproduced. The research data are presented in detail in [40], whe- re the authors performed experimental tests and found that the chamber of the installation warms up evenly and according to the temperature-time de- pendence Ts = 345 lg (8t + 1) + 20). At the same time, temperature deviations do not exceed the per- missible values according to DSTU EN 1363-1:2023 and DSTU EN 1363-2:2023, which takes into ac- count the percentage deviation of the area under the average furnace temperature curve depending on the time interval from the start of the test. During these studies, it was found that for the ac- curacy and reproducibility of the heating mode in the first 5 min, it is necessary to preheat the ins- tallation to 600 C. This makes it possible to ob- tain values very close to those established by the temperature-time dependence Ts. The next stage of the work is an experimental stu- dy of the reproducibility of the results on the provi- sion of the external fire mode, the slowly developing fire mode and the parametric fire mode by the ex- perimental installation, taking into account the pe- culiarities of the experimental study of the repro- ducibility of the standard fire temperature mode. Figure 3 shows the results of the experimental reproduction of the thermal effect of the external fire regime, the value of the temperature change over time of which is described by formula 2 and graphically depicted in Fig. 1. As can be seen from the results of the study, it was possible to reproduce this fire mode within the to- lerances regulated by the standards [25, 28]. Given that this mode involves an intense temperature increase in the first 6 min (up to 613 C), which is higher than in the standard curve, the installation was preheated to 700 C. This made it possible to reproduce the peak temperature increase at the initial stage, as predicted by dependence (2). When reproducing the slowly developing fire re- gime, the experimental values of the temperature versus time were obtained, which correspond to de- pendences (3) and (4). As required by the stan dard, in the first 20 min of the experiment, the temperatu- re of the thermal effect on the prototype was 380 C. After 25 min of the experiment, the intensity of the temperature increase was ensured by sharply in- creasing the temperature on the thermostat and bringing the test sample closer to the heating ele- ments. The results of the study are shown in Fig. 4. For the experimental reproduction of the para- metric fire regime, a fire compartment of 60 m2 with brick enclosing structures and concrete floor and ceiling was chosen. The fire load was assumed to be 450 MJ/m2. This parametric fire regime was modelled using a licensed software package [41]. The schematic floor plan of the fire compartment is shown in Fig. 5, and the geometric and thermal parameters of the building envelope and open- ings are given in Table 1. The thermophysical characteristics of the floor and ceiling materials are accepted as for reinfor- ced concrete structures and are as follows: density ρ = 2400 kg/m3; specific heat c = 840 J/kg/K; ther- mal conductivity λ = 1.5 W/m/K.

According to Appendix A and E [27], the result of the calculation is the values of the parameters that determine the parametric temperature curve for the fire zone. The parameter values are as follows: opening factor (O) = 0.117 m1/2; thermal absorptivity for the total enclosure (b) = 1453.2 J/(m2s1/2K); the design value of the fire load density, relative to the total boundary structures of the fire compart- ment (qt, d) = 114.4 MJ/m2. Time for maximum gas temperature: tmax = = 20.0 min; tmax = tlim → fuel-controlled fire. The parametric curve graph is described by the functions: g = 20 + 0.0021325 (1 0.324 te   0.013 0.1490.204 0.472 )t te e   — for t within 20—0, 689.632 44.166 ( 20)g t    — for t within 20—35, 20g  — for t > 35. where: g is the temperature, C and t is time, min. Figure 6 shows a graph of temperature versus time during the heating and cooling stages for a selected fire compartment of 60 m2. After obtaining the calculated values of the tem- perature change of the parametric curve, the next step is to conduct a study on the experimental re- production of this mode. The results of the expe- riment are shown in Fig. 7. As shown by the obtained data, the experimen- tally reproduced and modeled parametric fire de- velopment regime in a fire compartment of 60 m² are in good agreement (Figs. 6, 7). A positive out- come of the study is the successful experimental reproduction of the calculated temperature values during the cooling stage. This is achieved by gra- dually moving the specimen away from the hea- ting elements and rapidly reducing the tempera- ture using the thermostat. The experimental results confirm the effective- ness of the proposed innovative approach to the re- production of nominal and alternative fire regimes using the installation designed to determine the fire-pro tection capacity (efficiency) of fire-pro tec tive coatings and to conduct fire-resistance tests on small fragments of building structures. The practical significance of these results lies in the possibility of experimentally reproducing both standardized and alternative (realistic) temperatu- re exposures on fragments of building structures. This capability allows a preliminary assessment of the fire resistance limit of such structures and enab- les the evaluation of the fire-protection effective- ness of fire-retardant coatings. The studies have demonstrated that the test in- stallation is capable of generating temperature ex- Fig. 5.

Based on the experimental results, both nominal and alternative fire regimes are reproduced, including the exter- nal fire regime, the slowly developing fire regime, and the parametric fire regime. The temperature deviation observed during the experiments does not exceed the permissible limits specified in DSTU EN 1363-1:2023 and DSTU EN 1363-2:2023. The stable operation of the electric heating ele- ments generating the thermal exposure ensures effective reproduction of fire regimes, with the dif- ference between the experimentally reproduced thermal conditions and the standardized ones re- maining below 10%. Further scholarly research should focus on the mathematical description of fire temperature re- gimes during the heating and cooling stages when using the designed installation for determining the fire-protection capacity (efficiency) of fire-pro tec- tive coatings and testing the fire resistance of small fragments of building structures. The operating principle of the installation is based on heating the furnace interior using electric heating elements. For this purpose, it is necessary to experimentally investigate the dependence of the maximum fire temperature (regime) on the temperature genera- ted by the heating elements of the installation and on the width of the gap between the tested speci- men and the electric heating elements. It is also necessary to study the dependence of the tempera- ture decrease time during the parametric fire regi- me on the maximum temperature of the paramet- ric regime and on the width of the gap between the specimen and the electric heating elements after the heating elements are switched off. The obtained results provide the basis for the develop- ment of an experimental and theoretical method for studying the thermophysical characteristics of fire-retardant materials when assessing the effects of standardized and alternative fire regimes on the fire resistance of building structures.

The prevention of the destruction of buildings and structures during a fire is ensured throughstrict compliance with requirements for the necessary fire resistance rating and classifi cation. To guarantee reliable and safe operation during the design and construction stages, building materials and structures classified according to their reaction to fire and assessed by fire resistance class have been required.Problem Statement. Since modern testing installations (furnaces) predominantly reproduce only thetemperature regime of a standard fire, while other heating regimes remain difficult or impossible to simulate, the development and application of specialized testing installations and chambers capable of experimentally providing the required temperature exposures are highly relevant.Purpose. The purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility of experimentally reproducing the temperature effects of nominal and alternative fire regimes using an innovative experimental installation.Materials and Methods. The study has been conducted using an installation equipped with a 500 × 500 × 500 mm chamber designed to assess the fire-protective efficiency of coatings. The test specimens consist of 500 × 500 mm steel plates with fire-protective coatings. External fire, slow-heating fire, and parametric fire regimes have been modeled by regulating the power of the heating elements and adjusting the distance between the heating elements and the specimen. The parametric temperature curve fora 60 m² fire compartment has been calculated using the FIN EC soft ware package. Results. Experimental tests have confirmed the effectiveness of reproducing nominal and alternative fire regimes using the developed installation. The design features and technical solutions have provided cont rolled regulation of chamber heating and cooling, ensuring that deviations of the temperature–time curves remain within permissible limits according to DSTU EN 1363-1:2023 and DSTU EN 1363-2:2023.Conclusions. The stable operation of the electric heating elements has ensured effective reproduction of thermalregimes with deviations of less than 10% from standard fire curves. The developed installation has demonstrated itsapplicability for assessing the fire resistance of structures, determining the effectiveness of fire-protective coatings, and developing experimental and theoretical methods for studying the thermophysical properties of materials under nominal and alternative (realistic) fire regimes.

Оскільки сучасні установки (печі) здебільшого відтворюють лише температурний режим стандартної пожежі, а інші режими нагріву є складними або неможливими для моделювання, актуальним є створення та застосування спеціальних випробувальних установок і камер, здатних експериментально забезпечити потрібні температурні впливи.Мета. Вивчення можливості експериментального відтворення температурного впливу номінальних таальтернативних режимів пожежі з використанням інноваційної установки.Матеріали й методи. Дослідження виконано на установці з камерою 500 × 500 × 500 мм для оцінки вогнезахисної ефективності покриттів. Зразки — сталеві пластини 500 × 500 мм із покриттям. Режими зовнішньої, повільно розвиваючої та параметричної пожеж моделювали регулюванням потужності нагрівальнихелементів і відстані до зразка. Параметричну криву для відсіку 60 м² розраховано у програмі FIN EC.Результати. Експериментальні випробування підтвердили ефективність відтворення номінальних іальтернативних режимів пожежі за допомогою розробленої установки. Конструкція та технічні рішеннязабезпечують регулювання нагріву й охолодження камери з відхиленнями температурно-часових залежностей у межах, допустимих ДСТУ EN 1363-1:2023 та ДСТУ EN 1363-2:2023.Висновки. Стабільна робота електронагрівальних елементів забезпечила ефективне відтворення теплових режимів із розбіжністю зі стандартними менше 10 %. Установку можна застосовувати для оцінкивогнестійкості конструкцій, визначення ефективності вогнезахисних покриттів і розроблення експериментально-теоретичних методів дослідження теплофізичних властивостей матеріалів за номінальних і альтернативних режимів пожежі.
