In Korea, fireproof performance is evaluated through a series of fire-resistance tests for important structures, and the performance standard follows the guidelines suggested by ITA. The fireproof duct slab manufactured by combining the slab and the fireproof material with a precast method is effective in that it can eliminate the construction time of the fireproof material. In this study, a series of fire resistance tests was performed on the fire test specimens under the RWS fire scenario in order to secure the fire resistance performance of the precast fireproof duct slab. As a result of the test, it was found that the fireproof performance was secured when the thickness of the fireproof material was 30 mm or more. In both fireproof materials and concrete, the rate of temperature change initially increased, then decreased, and then increased again, and the temperature at the inflection point was measured as 110℃ for all fireproof materials and concrete. It is judged that this occurs when the C-S-H (CaO-SiO₂-H₂O) generated by the hydration reaction in both the fireproof material and concrete is dehydrated.

이 연구에서는 내화천장구조 재료의 고온 열특성을 파악하여, 건축물 화재시 천장구조에 대한 보다 정확한 화재성상예측을 위한 실험적 자료로 제시하고자 한다. 건축물의 화재성상 예측은 내화설계 시 반드시 필요하며, 화재성상예측을 위해서는 화재하중, 작용외력, 안전계수 및 설계용 정수의 합리적인 설정이 중요하다. 화재하중 및 작용외력 등은 건축물의 부재가 지니는 하중조건에 대한 화재시의 부재 안정성 예측에 관계되는 부분이며, 설계 시 필요한 데이터 중 내화천장구조 재료의 고온 열특성 값은 화재발생 구획의 화재온도가 주요 구조부재에 전달되는 정도를 예측할 수 있는 인자로 볼 수 있다. 따라서 내화천장구조 재료의 고온 열특성 값 설정은 화재발생 공간의 온도범위($20{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$)에 걸쳐 평가 및 분석되어야만 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 화재발생 예상 공간의 부재 온도 및 안전성 분석이 가능하다. 이에 국내 건축구조물에 사용되고 있는 대표적인 내화피복 재료인 방화석고보드, 텍스, 암면에 대해서 $20^{\circ}C{\sim}900^{\circ}C$까지의 열전도율을 측정하였다. 실험결과 방화석고보드와 텍스의 경우 약 0.15 W/m K까지 일정하게 증가하였다. 암면의 경우 약 $700^{\circ}C$까지는 방화석고보드나 텍스에 비해 열전도율이 낮게 나타났지만, $800^{\circ}C$ 지점부터 용융 및 탄화가 진행되면서 열전도율이 급격히 상승하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims at evaluation of the fire resistance performance of cementitious materials for fire protection of tunnel. For this purpose, the research procedure was divided into three parts. First, base mix proportion with different material type were determined by fire test. Second, the fire test of cementitious materials for fire resistance were performed on base mix proportions to evaluated their performance. Third, the performance of cementitious materials for fire resistance compare to the target value and existing commercial products. If the performance of developed cemetitious materials for fire resistance were satisfied the target value, this studies were stopped. But, this research return to first process if the performance of cementitious materials for fire resistance are not satisfied the target value. As a result of this study, the spalling did not happen for develop and existing commercial product. Also, developed cementitious materials for fire resistance are shown with excellent compressive strength, flexural strength, and bond strength, because it used a height density aggregate. And developed cementitious materials has sufficient resistance for fire.

In this study, fire resistance of a fireproof material sprayed upon an immersed tunnel was experimentally evaluated under $HC_{inc}$ and IS0834(duration of 4 hours) fire scenarios. Under $HC_{inc}$ fire scenario, the maximum inner temperatures of a concrete specimen at the depth of 0, 25 and 50 mm from the interface between the structure and the fire-proofing layer were $311^{\circ}C$, $194^{\circ}C$ and $142^{\circ}C$ respectively. Similarly, the corresponding maximum temperatures under IS0834 fire scenario were $332^{\circ}C$, $222^{\circ}C$ and $179^{\circ}C$ respectively. From the results, it was revealed that the two different fire scenarios assumed in this study have almost the same fire capacity as each other in the maximum temperature concept. In addition, a structural analysis of the immersed tunnel under $HC_{inc}$ fire scenario was carried out to verify the effects of the fireproof material on its structural stability. Material loss and deterioration of a concrete specimen without any fire-proofing measure was also experimentally evaluated to obtain input parameters for the structural analysis under such a severe fire scenario. From the results, it was confirmed that the application of fireproof measures to the immersed tunnel is essential for its structural stability even under a severe fire scenario.

This experiment was carried out for diminishing the material loss and the damage of human life due to the fire disaster by treating plywood with fire retardant chemical solution. At this study, we observed and measured chemical retention, burning point, maximum flame length, flame exausted time, carbonized area, and weight loss of plywood treated by each solution of ammonium sulphate [$(NH_4)_2SO_4$] and monoammonium phosphate [$NH_4H_2PO_4$]. Obtained results at the study may be summarized as follows: 1. In case of monoammonium phosphate-treated plywood, every tested item of fire retardancy was shown more excellent at the 25% chemical concentration and shown also at 9 hours treatment except maximum flame length compared with ammonium sulphate-treated plywood. 2. However in case of ammonium sulphate-treated plywood, 6 hours treatment of fire retardancy was better than 9 hours treating time. 3. Monoammonium phosphate was generally better than ammonium sulphate in every tested item.

Efficient traffic network is required in urban area for good living condition. However, dense traffic network creates traffic jam and gives bad influences to the ground environment. Therefore, advanced use of underground and tunnel is required. But, in the last 20 years many tunnel fire accidents have occurred all over the world. Increase of tunnels and increase of traffics result in increase of tunnel fire. Tunnel fire creates damage to people and to the tunnel structure. Also, tunnel fire creates a big economical loss. In a mountain tunnel, the stability of the tunnel will not be disturbed by fire although the tunnel lining will get a severe damage. However, in a shield tunnel or immersed tube tunnel, cut and cover tunnel, there is a high possibility that tunnel itself will collapse by fire because their tunnel concrete lining is designed as a structural member. The aim of this experimental research is to verify the fire protection performance of newly developed cementitious material compared with the broadly used existing products in Europe and Japan. For the experiments, the general NATM tunnel concrete linings with the newly developed material were tested using fire loading curve of RABT (Maximum peak temperature is $1,200^{\circ}C$) and RWS (Maximum peak temperature is $1,350^{\circ}C$). From the test results, the newly developed fire protection material applied with 30 mm thickness showed good fire-proofing performance under RABT fire loading.

In this study, a series of fire experiments under $HC_{inc}$ and ISO834 (duration of 4 hour) fire scenarios were carried out for three different types of fire protection measures for the segment joint to evaluate their applicabilities to an immersed tunnel. The experimental results revealed that an expansion joint installed to allow relative movements between concrete element ends in an segment joint is the most vulnerable to a severe fire. For the fire protection measure where the originally designed steel plates at an expansion joint arc replaced by fire-resistant boards, the experiments showed that they cannot achieve good fireproofing performance under both $HC_{inc}$ fire scenario and ISO834 (4 hour) fire scenarios since the installation of fire-resistant boards results in the reduction of the sprayed fire insulation thickness. On the other hand, the application of modified bent steel plates replacing the original steel plates was proved to be very successful in fireproofing of the expansion joint due to more sprayed materials filled in bent steel plate than in the original design concept as well as higher adhesion between the steel plate and the sprayed fire insulation layer.

Modular construction is recognized as a construction method with various advantages, such as shortening the construction duration, achieving quality control through factory production, ease of maintenance, and reduced construction costs due to reduced weight of materials. However, despite efforts by the modular industry and government to activate modular construction, it has rarely been established in the domestic market. Currently, there are technical limitations to the modular construction fire resisting technology applied to general buildings. The lack of access to modular construction fire resistance regulation is considered a major factor. In this study, the current status and problems with modular construction fire resistance regulation, a significant hindrance factor, were considered to activate modular construction. This study is intended to present a direction for institutional improvement in modular construction fire resistance and a direction for research and development.
