This study investigated spalling prevention and fire resistance properties of the high strength concrete using pre-mixed cement containing fiber to prepare the method for the effective throwing of hybrid fiber. For result of a fire test, almost specimens were protected from fire except 15% of W/C. Totally, the pre-mixed cement containing fiber was favorable compared with passive mixing method for the spalling prevention. It is more effective to prevent spalling caused by fine diversion of fiber even in high strength concrete because it contained many corporate materials. Moreover, the temperature history of the side steel bar on the column test with pre-mixed cement containing fiber did not over 538$^{\circ}C$ which is the average for the standard of fire resistance performance.

This study analyzed fire resistance characteristics of high strength concrete according to changes in curing method and PP fiber content, and the results are as follows. First in case of standard curing, spalling was prevented at PP fiber content of 0.05 % or higher. Autoclave and steam curing showed prevention of spalling at content of 0.1 % or higher. For residual compressive strength, measurement of strength for plain was impossible due to spalling phenomenon. A satisfactory trend was shown with increase in PP fiber content with the strength of about 30 MPa.

Fire resistance and material properties of high-strength concrete (W/B 21.5%, 28.5%) with OPC, BS and FA were tested in this study. Main factors of the test consisted of fiber mixing ratio and W/B. Two types of fiber (NY, PP) mixed with the same weight were used for the test. The fiber mixing ratios were 0%, 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% of the concrete weight. After performing the test, Under the W/B level of 21.5% and 28.5%, the spalling was effectively resisted by using the high strength concrete with fiber mixing ratios of 0.05%~0.1%. Compressive strength, flowability and air content are similar those of the fiberless high-strength concrete with the same W/B.

High Strength Concrete has a disadvantage of the brittle failure under fire due to the spalling. It is reported that spalling is caused by the vapor pressure under fire and polypropylene (PP) fiber has an important role in protecting from spalling. The silica fume which is essentially mixed in high strength concrete decrease the permeability of concrete, and this will increase the degree of spalling. The fire resistance characteristics of high-strength reinforced concrete columns with various contents of PP fiber and silica fume were investigated in this study. In results, the ratio of unstressed residual strength of columns increases as the content of PP fiber increases from 0% to 0.2% and the ratio decreases as the content of silica fume increases from 7% to 21%.

This study presents the fracture properties of steel fiber concrete. The volume ratio of steel fiber in the concrete specimen was changed from 0%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and to 1%. The notch length was changed from 0, 15, 30, to 45mm. By applying 3-point bending tests, J-integral($J_{Ic}$), $K_{Ic}$, $G_F$ deflection strength, and fracture energy was obtained. The test results showed that the fiber content increases the concrete fracture energy.

Accordingly architectural structure is getting high-rise and bigger, a use of high strength and high performance concrete has been increasing. High performance concrete has cons of explosion in a fire. This Explosion in the fire can cause the loss of the sheath on a concrete surface, therefore it effects that increasing a rate of heat transmission between the steel bar and inner concrete. Preventing this explosion of high performance concrete in the fire, many kinds of researches are now in progressing. Typically, researches with using Polypropylene-fiber and Steel-fiber can prove controling the explosion, but the reduction of mobility was posed as a problem of workability. Consequently, to solve the problem as mentioned above, concrete cans secure fire resisting capacity through the using of coating liquid, including Ester-lubricant and non-ionic characteristic surfactant. This research has been drawn a ideal condition in compressive strength areas of concrete by an experiment. When applying 13mm of polyamide-fiber, proper fiber mixing volume by compressive strength areas of concrete is $0.8kg/m^3$ in 60MPa, $1.0kg/m^3$ in 80MPa, $1.5kg/m^3$ in $100MPa/m^3$. These amount of a compound can control the explosion.

It was presented that the spalling of high strength concrete exposed to high temperature could be reduced by using polypropylene fiber. However, as the concrete strength increase, the demanded quantity of PP fiber increase and this results in the loss of workability of ultra high strength concrete. The silica fume which is essentially mixed in ultra high strength concrete decrease the permeability of concrete, and this will increase the degree of spalling. In this study the effect of silica fume on the spalling of ultra high strength concrete and the fire resisting efficiency of PP fiber and poly vinyl alchol, instead of PP fiber, for the security of workability were experimentally examined.

In this study, fire resistance and residual strength were examined after the addition of PF fiber and bonding fireproofing gypsum board to a high strength concrete-model column of 50 MPa grade. At the beginning of the experiment, all the properties of base concrete appeared to satisfy the target range. In terms of the internal temperature record, a trend of slightly high temperature was shown when the fireproofing gypsum board was not bonding, and when the fireproofing gypsum board was bonding, as PF content increased gradually, the temperature was gradually lowered. In terms of the relationship, as time elapsed a low temperature was shown when fiber was mixed, and when the board was bonding, the trend of lower temperature could be confirmed. Meanwhile, in terms of spalling property, a severe explosive fracture was generated at PF 0%, and falling off was prevented as the fiber content was increased; however, discoloration and a multitude of cracks were discovered, and when the board was bonding, the trend in which the exterior became satisfactory when the content was increased emerged. In terms of the residual compressive strength, measuring of strength could not be performed at PF 0% without bonding of board, and the strength was increased as the fiber content was increased; however, there was a decrease in strength of about 30 ~ 40%, and in the case of PF 0% with the bonding of board, the strength could be measured; however, about an 80% decrease in strength was shown, and only about a 10 ~ 20% decline in strength was displayed, as the range of decrease was reduced as the fiber content was increased. Considering all of these factors, it was determined that a more efficient enhancement of fire resistance was obtained when two methods are applied in combination rather than when the PF fiber content and bonding of fireproofing gypsum board are utilized individually.

In this study, development tests varying with concrete strength, development length, and the rate of fiber mix ratio are carried out to evaluate the development characteristics of high-strength concrete member with 80MPa, and the applicability of estimated standards of development length in KCI 2007. As a result, it can be expected that minimum development length of KCI 2007 is applicable to high-strength concrete member with 80MPa. Although the mixed fiber(NY+PP) to secure fire resistance performance of high-strength concrete is included up to 0.1%, it does not affect the development characteristics.
