Steel beams are one of primary member and those carries the horizontal load and floor load to axial member. To avoid structural failure when the steel beams are exposed to fire, fire resistance performance requires. Till now, the evaluation for fire resistance of the beam was conducted using the maximum load and standard fire curve defined in the KS F 2257. But recently the constructional patterns are changing toward multi-function performance to get a better structural performance and fire resistance as well. In this paper to get the databases for fire resistance, limiting temperatures of the beam, load-bearing fire tests according to load ratios, two grades of compressive concrete strengths were applied.

우리나라는 1960년대부터 실시된 조림 정책을 통해 산림이 점차 울창해지고 있어 산림 내 연소물질이 증가되어 산불 피해 강도가 점차 높아지고 있다. 산불방지에 대한 예방차원으로 피해를 저감시키거나 위험을 완화시키는 대표적인 임업적 기술을 적용하는 방법으로 방화림 조성과 방화선 구축을 들 수 있다. 방화림 조성은 산림내 연소물질 관리 또는 수종을 갱신하여 산불확산으로부터 화재강도를 낮추어 산림의 산불위험성을 낮추는 방법이다. 대표적인 기술로는 간벌과 가지치기, 하예작업, 활엽수림 조성 등의 방법이 있다. 방화선 구축작업을 임내 연료물질을 완전히 제거하여 산불이 확산되지 않도록 구축하는 작업이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 일본과 중국의 산불 방화림 조성과 방화선 구축 사례를 조사 분석하여 국내 적용 가능한 기술을 선별하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 산불에 강한 수종을 선발하였고 산불에 강한 숲 조성 방법 및 방화선 구축 방법 등을 도출하였다. 이에 본 연구 결과를 토대로 산림내 주요사찰, 기간시설 및 군사시설 등과 같은 주요시설물이 산불로부터 안전하게 보호되고 피해를 최소화하는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, to reinforce the surface layer of weathered soil slopes where erosion and collapse of surface layer occur, compression strength tests were conducted by mixing carbon fiber and eco-friendly stabilizer (E.S.B.) To determine the optimal mixing ratio of E.S.B. and carbon fiber, E.S.B. was set at conditions of 10%, 20%, and 30%, and carbon fiber at 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, and 1.2%. Additionally, to analyze the changes in compressive strength according to dry density and curing period, 85% and 95% of the maximum dry unit weight were applied, and curing periods were set to 3 days, 7 days, and 28 days. The standard strength for surface layer reinforcement of slopes is proposed as 4 MPa at 7 days and 6 MPa at 28 days according to ACI 230.1R-09 (2009). The compression test results showed that the unconfined compressive strength of E.S.B. reinforced soil met the standard strength at an E.S.B. mixing ratio of 10% or more for 95% compaction. Moreover, when carbon fiber was mixed with E.S.B. reinforced soil, a ductile fracture pattern was observed after the yield point due to compressive strength, indicating that the mixture could compensate for post-yield failure. It was analyzed that the maximum strength is exhibited at a carbon fiber mixing ratio of 0.6%. The unconfined compressive strength of carbon fiber reinforced soil increases by approximately 54-70% compared to the condition without carbon fiber.

최근 고강도 콘크리트의 내화성능이 사회적 이슈로 부각되고 국토해양부에서 고강도 콘크리트의 내화성능 관리기준(안)이 고시되면서 국내에서도 고강도 콘크리트의 내화성능을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유기질 섬유인 폴리프로필렌섬유(PP섬유)와 강섬유를 하이브리드한 Fiber Cocktail를 혼입한 고강도 내화콘크리트 개발을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. PP섬유는 $160^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 용융되어 콘크리트 내부에 미세한 통로를 형성하여 고강도 콘크리트 부재 내의 수증기압 및 공극압을 효과적으로 배출하여 고강도 콘크리트의 폭렬발생을 억제시키는 데 효과적이며, 강섬유는 PP섬유가 용융된 후의 고강도 콘크리트 부재의 균열 발생을 억제하며 외부로부터 침투하는 열기를 차단할 수 있다. 100MPa 고강도 콘크리트의 내화실험을 실시하여 최적단면 조건을 도출하기 위해 철근온도를 분석한 결과, 단면이 커질수록 철근온도는 점차 낮아지는 경향이 나타났으며 $600{\times}600mm$, $800{\times}800mm$ 단면에서 내화성능을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이중 경제성을 고려할 경우 $600{\times}600mm$ 단면이 최적단면으로 도출되었다. 또한 도출된 $600{\times}600mm$ 단면에 대해서 철근의 온도를 분석한 결과 PP섬유 $1.5kg/m^3$와 강섬유 $40kg/m^3$를 배합한 Fiber Cocktail이 최적배합비로 나타났다.

Beams play an important role to transfer an applied load on the floor into columns. However, if the beams affected by a fire the length will be changed longer or shorter and the structural stability decreased gradually and resulted in structural failure. Therefore, the fire regulation requires that structural beam has to satisfied with a constant fire resistance. The fire resistance conducted by a constant size and boundary condition in an horizontal furnace. But this is not enough to adopt a beam made of high structural steels having various lengths. In this study, in order to suggest structural behaviors of beams made of high structural steels at high temperature, mechanical properties at high temperature and heat stress analysis were used and the surface temperature, expansion, displacement and variance of maximum load according to lengths of the beam were compared with those of SM 400.

The heat resistance of steel materials tends to weaken due to its high heat transfer properties, which might result in deteriorated strength because of rapidly rising temperature on surface in a fire. Particularly in case of CFT column that bears tensile stress of the structure on its external steel members, a numerical analysis on deterioration of strength and variation of stress shall be first carried out to ensure the structure will have sufficient fire resistance. In the study, based on values obtained from the high temperature material property test of steel materials and concrete, the test to forecast the fire behavior of CFT column was conducted using a finite element analysis method (ABAQUS). An Analysis in a bid to predict the heat transfer and the behavior characteristics by varying the strength of the concrete filled to the range of 40MPA and 50MPA was carried out. As a result of analysis of CFT column on condition of 180-minute exposure under the standard fire condition, 123mm of strain appeared with 40MPA model, while 91mm contraction with 50MPA model.

Generally, the reinforced concrete slab has great fire resistance performance because concrete has excellent thermal material properties under fire. But, in the case of hollow slab, it will be expected that hollow slabs have different temperature distribution and fire endurance performance compare to reinforced concrete slab. Because hollow slab has internal void space that occurs decreasing regenerative effect of concrete and formation of internal air layer. Evaluation method for fire resistance performance of hollow slabs was proposed using $wickstr{\ddot{o}}m^{\prime}s$ method. For the casual use of evaluation, simplified method was proposed which was limited to solid slab and donut type hollow slab which was developed by authors of this research paper. Also, verification on proposed method was performed by comparing results of fire experiment for hollow slab and evaluation results. Proposed method of the results of this study was possible to predict the residual strength and temperature distribution of slabs under fire.

In the wake of expanding and overpopulating urban areas, traffic congestion has been worsening increasingly, causing huge economic losses. In a bid to effectively use the space of metropolitan areas, the construction and operation of a double deck tunnel has been on the rise. On the other hand, a lower height of a double deck tunnel is expected to generate more smoke and soot in a fire than other usual tunnels. Therefore, it is undesirable to apply the standard for fire intensity or smoke generation, which were designed for existing road tunnels. A part of an effort to propose a design fire curve that is useful for double deck tunnel, is intended to obtain and analyze the fire characteristics in a double deck tunnel through a real scale fire test. The test was conducted according to the fire scenario with one passenger car and two passenger cars; the monitored fire intensity was a maximum of 2.4 MW and 3.5 MW, respectively.

In recent years, unexpected bridge fire accidents have increased because of augmenting the number of traffic volumes and hazardous materials by the increment in traffics and distribution business. Furthermore, in accordance with the effort of using the under space of bridges, the ratio of occupied by combustible materials like oil tanker or lorry has been increased. As a result, the occurrence of bridge fire has been growing drastically. In order to mitigate the accident of bridge fire, risk assessment of bridge fire has been studied, however, practical risk models considering safety from users' viewpoints were scarce. This study represented quantitative risk assessment model applicable to national road bridges in Korea. The primary factors with significant impacts on bridge fire accidents was chosen such as clearance height, materials of bridges, arrival time of fire truck and fire intensity. The selected factors were used for Fire Dynamics Simulation (FDS) and the peak temperature calculated by FDS in accordance with the fire duration and fire intensity. The risk assessment model in bridge fire reflected the FDS analysis results, the fire damage criteria, and the grade of fire truck arrival time was established. Response plans for bridge fire accidents according to the risk assessment output has been discussed. Lastly, distances between bridges and fire stations were calculated by GIS network analysis. Based on the suggested assessment model and methodology, sample bridges were selected and graded for the risk assessment.
