PROTEA | Excellent performances Technical agreement: ArcelorMittal complies with local construction regulations in countries where PROTEA is erected. Fire performance: The CSIR* in South Africa performed a fire resistance test on the 60mm wall panel, with a 15mm Firestop plasterboard on the exposed side. The complex achieved a Fire Resistance Rating (FRR) of 30 minutes. *Council for Scientific and Industrial Research Fire test in South Africa Structural performance: The PROTEA structural performance has been assessed. The house structure is essentially ensured by self bearing panels. Example: the 55m² house and its maximal calculated horizontal deflection Wind forces: The calculation shows that the PROTEA house is able to resist to winds up to 36m/s (130km/h) with peaks up to 50m/s (180km/h). Simulation of wind action (confirmed the calculation model) Seismic forces: Moreover, steel is known to behave well in an earthquake. Global failures and huge numbers of casualties are mostly associated with structures made from other materials. This is mainly due to three major qualities of steel: - Light weight: Steel structures are generally lighter than those using other materials. Some steel structures are sufficiently light so that seismic design is not critical. - Flexibility: Steel structures are generally more flexible than other types of structure. Constraints in the structure and its foundations are therefore lower. - Ductility: Unlike other materials, steel’s failure mode is ductile; this means that when submitted to strong forces, steel doesn’t break but dissipates energy by plastic deformation. 13 Thermal performance calculation: The PROTEA thermal performance has been assessed by thermal calculation. temperature (°C) 42 40 38 36 34 32 30 28 26 24 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 As a result, this calculation shows that the PROTEA house provides better summer comfort compared to a traditional brick and mortar house (up to 5°C cooler). Thermal performance measurement: A thermography measurement was performed on a prototype, showing good thermal insulation and air tightness.
