  • By investigating a series of catastrophic tunnel fires, this research aims to evaluate the fire resistance design method as applied to tunnel structures in Korea. It is shown that the current strategy is oriented towards smoke control and ventilation to reduce the loss of life. As structural collapse is not regarded, a general guide is proposed to obtain the fire safety.

  • Concrete is incombustible and has good fire resisting properties, i. e. when exposed to fire it continues to perform satisfactorily for a reasonable period of time. Nevertheless, with time and high temperature gradient, brought about the fire, causes cracking and spatting. Further deterioration and loss of strength are caused by gradual dehydration of concrete paste. This paper is aimed to make a proposal for the design and construction of reinforced concrete structures with more sufficent resistance to fire by the theoritical analysis, which is base4 on investigation of general damages by the fire and change of properties on concrete influenced by high temperature.

  • To control the spread of surface fire in the rangelands and to check the entry of fire into forest systems from grassland patches, 26 evergreen / succulent species were selected and among them 3 shrubby species such as Berberis tintoria Lesch, Elaeagnus kologa Schlecht and Rhodomyrtus tomentosa Wt. were screened for vegetational fire breaks on the basis of leaf moisture content and some other ecological characters. The fire trail experiments indicate that crossing of fire was checked by the fire belt size of 5 ${\times}$ 1.5m for all the three species. However, due to higher fire retardant capacity, the Ire belt of R. tomentosa was effective in comparison to other two species.
