The buildings constructed with steel structure are coated with certified fire resistive material to resist from fire. All the building materials lose their initial performances as time passes by, so they need some maintenance. The Sprayed Fire Resistive Material (SFRM) also loses its performance and this performance loss of the SFRM is very important because fire resistance of buildings depends on SFRM. So this study was aimed to synthesis of alkali-silicates for SFRM and to evaluate the effect of alkali-silicates, K-silicates, Na-silicates and Li-silicates, by exchange of mole ratios as basic factors, tested solubility, intumescence ratios, thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, fire-resistant and heat-resistant.

In this study, fire resistance test according to KS F 2257-8: 2015 was carried out to compare fire resistance for wall consisted of gypsum boards with two types of drywall with gypsum boards which is based to lightweight studs. As a result, it was found that the fire resistance of the wall constructed with 12.5 mm of general gypsum board was 16 minutes higher than that of the wall constructed 9.5 mm in accordance with integrity and was 9 minutes higher than that of the wall(9.5 mm) depending on insulation. If the wall with the gypsum board 12.5 mm is constructed, it can be confirmed that the fire resistance is improved by about 43%.

Aluminum has been widely used as frame materials in the curtain walls. Recently, use of steel as a curtain wall frame is being considered due to its higher strength and thermal resistance than aluminum. In this study, fire tests on the basis of EN 13830 were performed with aluminum and steel-aluminum hybrid curtain walls. From the tests, fire resistance integrity, thermal insulation, and radiation properties were evaluated for both systems and compared. According to the test results, the steel-aluminum hybrid curtain wall showed better fire-performance than the typical aluminum curtain wall for the fire resistance integrity and radiation properties. Although, the fire resistance performance for the insulation property was 6 min for both the two frames, the collapses were occurred at 36 min for the steel-aluminum hybrid curtain wall and at 13 min for the aluminum hybrid curtain wall.

본 연구에서는 국외 커튼월 내화 Code인 EN 13830, EN 13501-1, EN 1364-3을 사용하여 알루미늄과 스틸프레임에 대해 화재시 최적설계조건 도출을 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 현재 국내 커튼월의 내화 법규는 2008년 '내화 충전구조 세부 운영지침'에서 조인트 부분에 대해서만 내화규정이 정립되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 EN 13830과 그 하위법을 이용하여 알루미늄과 스틸 커튼월의 최적설계조건 도출을 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 차염성은 알루미늄 커튼월과 스틸 커튼월의 성능시간이 각각 10분 26분으로 약 16분의 차이가 발생하였고, 차열성은 알루미늄 커튼월과 스틸 커튼월이 최고온도에서 6분과 9분으로 약 3분정도의 차이를 보였고 평균온도에서는 9분, 24분으로 약 15분의 차이를 보였다. 그리고 복사열은 성능기준 $15Kw/m^2$를 통과하는데 알루미늄 커튼월은 16분 스틸 커튼월은 24분을 기록하였다.

In recent construction research, the focus has primarily been on developing 3D printers and construction-specific materials. 3D printing technology in construction is growing rapidly due to its potential benefits. However, there's a notable lack of research on the fire performance of 3D Printed Concrete (3DPC) walls. This study addresses this gap by investigating how 3DPC walls respond to controlled heating conditions in a simplified test. The research aims to provide crucial insights into the behavior of 3D-printed mortar composite walls when exposed to fire. The findings have the potential to enhance safety and reliability in 3D printing technology within the construction industry. Furthermore, it could contribute to improving the fire safety standards of architectural structures and expand the use of 3D printing in future construction projects.

This study was conducted to assess the vibration capacity and the fire resistance capacity of a deck plate slab using an omega steel plate as the void deck plate. First, to evaluate the vibration capacity of the deck plate slab after the insertion of the omega steel plate, three 150mm specimens and three 200mm specimens were made using the slab depth as the main variable. Each specimen consisted of an existing deck plate and two specimens, using the topping depth as the variable according to the slab depth. Second, two real-size specimens were made to evaluate the fire resistance capacity. The results of the test showed that the steel-wire-integrated deck plate slab that was inserted in the omega steel plate did not have a vibration problem due to the void deck plate, because the natural frequency was 12.66-14.09 Hz in the vibration test, and each specimen satisfied the appraisal standards for the load capacity, heat block quality, and chloride inhibition for two hours in the fire resistance test. Consequently, the steel-wire-integrated deck plate slab that was inserted in the omega steel plate can be reduced using the concrete volume and can have higher vibration and fire resistance capacities, similar to the existing deck plate.

High-rise buildings and complex facilities are a representative urban system for the masses, and it requires an increasing role of commodity and safety. Smoke and toxic gasses can cause accidents due to fire in these systems. The purpose of this study is to develop a fiber screen material for emergency evacuation passages that can be avoided quickly and safely in cases of disasters. The fiber screen material is applicable to folding devices for emergency evacuation passages. The material is different from general steel material in that it is lightweight with less burden during storage for a long time in a roll form in a folding device. It also has an excellent secondary function in that it is less affected by radiant heat. Three kinds of fiber screen materials were selected that have good flame retardancy and post-processing characteristics. A performance evaluation was performed by a heat shrinkage test, contact heat test, combustibility test, flame retardancy test, tensile strength test, and tear strength test. As a result, the lightweight fabric shows excellent performance through post-processing, and silicone resin coating can secure safety of the pizza by the fiber screen material performance and radiant heat. The optimum post-treatment conditions were evaluated by performing a burning test after coating two kinds of glass fibers and four types of flame-retardant silicone resins with different weight and thickness.

For the purpose of fire delineation within buildings, steel walls in Korea are mandated to undergo rigorous certification as fire-resistant entities, substantiated via a series of qualitative assessments. Predominantly, these evaluations comprise the fire resistance test paired with supplementary examinations; specifically for steel walls, these encompass the gas hazard and panel bending strength tests. Given the prevalence of semi-noncombustible core materials, gas hazard tests are largely rendered superfluous, pivoting the focus solely onto the panel bending strength test during the certification trajectory. This particular test is designed to gauge the flexural robustness of individual wall panels. An enhanced bending strength is postulated to fortify both the structural integrity and thermal insulation of the wall by mitigating potential deformations. In this scholarly exploration, an analytical deep dive was undertaken into extant, valid certification test datasets. The endeavor aimed to ascertain the depth of correlation between the designated fire resistance metric and the bending strength, the latter being the sole supplementary assessment for steel walls. In distilling the findings, it was discerned that temperature elevations beyond baseline values exhibited no statistically salient linkage with the panel's bending strength.
