A fire resistance certification needs to be obtained before fire protection paint can be used in Korea. In the case of paint, the tests for certification are fire, gas hazard and bond strength. According to the hazard test standard of combustion gas, 16 mice are sacrificed every test. Therefore, there are ethical problems for the experimenter and legal problems for the laboratory. Accordingly, many alternatives are being assessed, such as combustion gas analysis, but they have not replaced animal testing yet. With gas hazard testing, the exhaust gas temperature can be measured. The property of the initial reaction of a specific fire paint can be characterized by this temperature. The purpose of this study was to consider the improvement point for a gas hazard test through comparative analysis of the exhaust temperature and the time of death of the mice.

High strength concrete (HSC) has been mainly used in large SOC structures. HSC have superior property as well as improvement in durability compared with normal strength concrete. In spite of durability of HSC, explosive spalling in concrete front surface near the source of fire occurs serious problem in structural safety. Therefore, this study is concerned with experimentally investigation of fire resistance at high temperature due to fireproof material covering thickness in addition to concrete cover. From the test result, it was appeared that the use of fireproof material results in good performance for fire resistance and spalling prevention, and the optimal fireproof covering thickness is 1~3mm. On the other hand, the temperature was rapidly increased by explosive spalling within 30 minutes and showed very little rise caused by evaporation heat after then. It was also found that the void channel was remained at high temperature as PP fiber melts at about $200^{\circ}C$, and the pore pressure in concrete was decreased.

콘크리트 충전 강관기둥부재(이하 CFST)는 대칭성을 유지하는 기하학적 특성과 내부에 충전된 콘크리트의 구조 및 내화성능의 향상으로 최근 초고층 건축물의 주요 요소로 활용되는 추세에 있다. 반면 CFST는 실험적 결과에 의존하는 경향을 보이고 있으나 이는 많은 비용과 시간이 소요되는 단점이 있으므로 강재의 고온특성을 적용한 해석적 결과와의 상관성은 매우 중요한 의미가 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 CFST 내화성능을 해석 및 실험결과를 활용하여 상호 관계를 파악하고자 한다.

In this paper, experimental program and associated numerical study were carried out to evaluate the fire resistance of unprotected concrete-filled rectangular steel tubular (CFT) columns subjected to the standard fire. The key testing parameters included the length effect, the load ratio, and the sectional dimensions of the CFT columns. Temperature distribution and axial deformation of the CFT column specimens were measured and analyzed. Rather early local buckling of steel tubes was observed in all the specimens. This caused subsequent load transfer from steel tube to concrete, and eventually triggered concrete crushing, or complete loss of the load bearing capacity of the column. This implies that the limit state of local buckling as well as overall flexural buckling should be incorporated in fire design procedure. As expected, the fire resistance time of specimen with higher load ratio consistently lessened. The prediction of fire resistance time of unprotected CFT columns based on the limiting steel temperature in current design codes or the formula proposed by previous studies is slightly conservative compared to the fire test results available. To establish the finite element analysis model that can be used to predict the thermal and structural behaviour of unprotected CFT columns in fire, the fully coupled thermal-stress analysis was also tried by using the commercial code ABAQUS. The numerical results showed a reasonable global correlation with the experimental results.

지하대공간은 특수한 가연물 및 높은 밀도의 화재하중을 지닌 가연물이 많으나, 국내 내화성능기준은 이를 고려하지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 슬래브실험체를 제작하여 표준가열곡선(ISO834)과 지하대공간의 화재하중을 고려한 화재조건으로 내화실험과 수치해석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 모든 실험체에서 0.96~1.03로 10%내의 오차범위에 있는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

화재에 대한 안전성 확보는 ECC 등과 같은 신소재를 실제 구조물에 적용 또는 실용화하기 위해 필요한 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문은 터널구조물에 대한 내화대책의 일환으로써 ECC의 적용가능성을 평가하고자 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 터널구조물의 화재 온도조건인 RABT 화재온도이력곡선을 적용하여 내화성능을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 또한 비정상 온도분포해석 기법을 이용하여 이를 해석적으로 묘사 검증하였으며, 실험결과를 통해 검증된 해석기법을 이용하여 터널라이닝에 대한 열전달 해석을 수행하여 ECC의 적용가능성을 고찰하였다. 실험결과 ECC는 폭렬 및 화재상태에서의 모체콘크리트에 열화가 발생하지 않았으며, 기존 콘크리트 및 내화소재와의 상대 비교에 있어서도 가장 우수한 내화성능을 나타냈다. 이를 통하여 터널구조물의 내화대책에 있어 ECC 소재가 적용가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

Fire-resistant boom is one of the most important facilities in in situ homing of spilled oil. Thermal response of a fire-resistant boom to turning is experimentally investigated in this paper by using an electric furnace and a burning test facility. This test facility is composed of a test tank, a fire boom, a hood for inhaling smoke, an incinerator for burning up gases and thermocouples, etc. Thereby a systematic method of approach in small laboratory scale is developed to study the performance of a fire-resistant boom. Burning test is carried out for the fire boom model which has been developed through the present study. It is shown that the present fire boom model has capability to withstand the high temperature around 800℃ and high rate of heat flux on it due to homing. For more realistic experimental environments, larger dimensions in devices and longer time in experiments are recommended in near future.

This study is a research about performance of fireproof board using industrial waste such as oyster shell and dry process bottom ash through the heating test and conclusions were obtained as follows. Test samples show back side temperatures as follows : in $300^{\circ}C$, $103.1{\sim}125.1^{\circ}C$, in $600^{\circ}C$, $201.1{\sim}210.1^{\circ}C$, in $900^{\circ}C$, $249.2{\sim}276.9^{\circ}C$. In the test, temperature increases of specimens of fireproof board are kept at certain temperatures hence it could be concluded that the specimens withstand high temperatures. According to the test, it could be concluded that fireproof board made by smaller particles shows better performance up to $600^{\circ}C$ while at higher temperatures, fireproof board made by bigger particles shows better performance. It is estimated that fireproof board made by particles of bigger size has more pore structure and it delays heat conduction.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the fire resistance of concrete-filled steel square tube columns (square CFT columns) under constant axial loads by numerical analysis. The authors examined the experimental results on the fire resistance of concrete-filled steel square tube columns without fire protection. As the materials of CFT columns, steel of SPSR 400 grade and concrete of 27.5MPa and 37.8MPa strengths were used. The significant parameters were determined, such as load ratio, cross-sectional dimensions, and concrete strength. Detailed analytical simulations of fire resistance and axial deformation showed good agreement with the experimental observations. Therefore, this numerical analysis exhibited a reasonable estimation of fire resistance of the square CFT column. Results of the numerical parametric studies showed that the fire resistance of the CFT columns increased with the decrease of the concrete strength and the increase of the cross-sectional dimensions about the constant axial load ratio ($N/N_c$).
