The Fire Protection Regulatory documents require the fire-resistive rating of fire barrier penetration seals be same as that of fire barriers. Pilot application of penetration seal evaluation for K nuclear plant, built before penetration seal requirements were made, was done. In this evaluation, visual inspection and estimating fire rating by comparing installed configuration with tested configuration of penetration seals, called bounding approach method, were applied. Further improvements for retrofit and maintenance are recommended with penetration seal evaluation results also. The practical use of the methodology adopted in this study and the evaluation result of K nuclear plant will be anticipated for other plant's penetration seal evaluation.

This study, to develop the technology of the fire resistance design of CFT structure based on fire resistance performance design, was suppose to use as basic data for performance design through a measure of temperature and deformation of the CFT specimen as parameter is the concrete compressive strength and load ratio. In accordance with KS F 2257-1 and 7, 24 MPa and 40 MPa and the load ratio of 0.9, 0.6 and 0.2 were imposed on a square column and as a result of evaluating in accordance with the fire resistance criteria, in case of 24 MPa, the fire resistance performance was improved by 73 minutes when the load ratio was reduced by 0.3. And when it comes to 40 MPa, the fire resistance was 31 minutes and 180 minutes when a load ratio was 0.6 and 0.2, respectively. As a result of evaluating fire resistant performance depending on variation of internal concrete strength, it proved that the higher the strength the lower the fire resistance.

In this study, tests were carried out to find out a method to ensure the fire resistance performance of high-performance non-refractory coating CFT columns. For the high performance concrete fabrication with 100MPa, blast furnace slag(BS) and steel and nylon fibers were used. It was found that the partial replacement with BS improved the fire resistance performance of the concrete. Based on the results of lab tests, the large fire test was conducted. For this test, the CFTs with the size of ${\phi}500{\times}4,200mm$ and the reinforcement of SS 400 steel were prepared and they were subjected to a loading condition. It was found that as the level of load increased, the level of fire resistance decreased. For example, In with the loading condition of 2000kN the CFT could resist the fire for over 240 minutes, whereas, with the loading condition of 3,000kN and 4000kN applying to equivalent CFTs, the resisting time against fire were 184 minutes, and 120 minutes, respectively.

Main structural steel members need fire-resistance measures to ensure their fire-resistance performance for a prescribed time. This paper analyzes and evaluates the fire-resistance performance of approved Korean fire-protection products for steel columns. These products are classified into products for board protection and for spray protection, samples of which were selected for the analysis. The fire-resistance performance was analyzed on the basis of Korean and European standards. The Korean standards are considered additional to the Euro-code standards for performance design. The Korean standards generally take more precautions to ensure safety on the temperature side, but require the reflection of material properties, the steel temperature calculation methodology, the profile factor, and the strength verification in a fire.

본 연구에서는 현재 법정내화구조로 규정되어 있는 철근콘크리트(RC: Reinforced concrete)조 및 철골철망모르타르(SWM: Steel & Wire Mortar)조 슬래브에 대하여 재하조건에서 구조별 내화성능을 검토하고, 철골철망모르타르조 슬래브에 대해서는 피복두께별 내화성능을 검토하고자 표준화재조건에서 내화실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 동일피복 두께일 경우 철근콘크리트조 슬래브가 내화성능이 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 철골철망 모르타르조 슬래브의 경우 피복두께가 10mm 증가 시 7%의 내화성능이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 가열 이면온도는 슬래브의 두께가 늘어날수록 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

On the result of load-bearing fire test to confirm the fire resistance of a composit beam, if the composit beam has lower fire resistance than required standard, it can be improved by section change. But if there are many types of section change, it takes much time and cost owing to conducting many tests. On this study, it was confirmed which part of the asymmetric H-section composit beam affected most on fire resistance by heat-transfer analysis. Then, we checked the tendency of improving fire resistance depend on section change by heat-transfer and non-linear structural analysis and suggested a changed section having 1-hour fire resistance.

Recent researches of the fire resistance in concrete focus on how to secure relevant functions in the high strength concrete. However, the demand of normal strength concrete less than 40 MPa takes most of the total concrete demand. Therefore, fire resistance study needs to cover not only high strength concretes but also normal strength concretes. This study evaluated the fire resistance performance of 40 MPa concrete columns, taking the concrete covering thickness and the size of section as variables. Consequently, the fire resistance performance improved as the section size and the covering thickness became larger.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the fire resistance of the TSC beam, a composite beam composed of a concrete beam enclosed by steel plates. Since a discrepancy was observed between the structural mechanisms of TSC and typical composite beams, the fire performances of the two beams are likewise believed to be partially dissimilar. In this experiment, small and medium-sized TSC beams were tested under given conditions in the laboratory, with/without one of the most widely used spray-on fire protections in Korea. Furthermore, based on the steel and concrete properties under elevated temperatures that were obtained from Eurocode, temperature development across the section was suggested, analyses. To determine the capacity of a modified plastic section, th e fire performance of the model was also examined.
