  • Predicting the fire resistance of structures has been significantly advanced by full scale fire tests in conjunction with improved understanding of compartmental fire. Despite the progress, application of insulation is still required to parts of structural steelwork to achieve over 60 minutes of fire rating. It is now recognised that uncertainties on insulation properties hinder adaptation of performance based designs for different types of structures. Intumescent coating has recently appeared to be one of most popular insulation types for steel structures, but its design method remains to be confirmed by empirical data, as technical difficulties on the determination of the material properties at elevated temperatures exist. These need to take into account of further physiochemical transitions such as moving boundary and endothermic reaction. The impetus for this research is to investigate the applicability of the conventional differential equation solution which examines the temperature rise on coated steel members by an inorganic intumescent coating, provided that the temperature-dependent thermal/mechanical insulation properties are experimentally defined in lab scale tests.

  • Post earthquake fire (PEF) can lead to the collapse of buildings that are partially damaged in a prior ground-motion that occurred immediately before the fire. The majority of standards and codes for the design of structures against earthquake ignore the possibility of PEF and thus buildings designed with those codes could be too weak when subjected to a fire after an earthquake. An investigation based on sequential analysis inspired by FEMA356 is performed here on the Life-Safety performance level of structures designed to the ACI 318-08 code after they are subjected to two different earthquake levels with PGA of 0.35 g and 0.25 g. This is followed by a four-hour fire analysis of the weakened structure, from which the time it takes for the weakened structure to collapse is calculated. As a benchmark, the fire analysis is also performed for undamaged structure and before occurrence of earthquake. The results show that the vulnerability of structures increases dramatically when a previously damaged structure is exposed to PEF. The results also show the damaging effects of post earthquake fire are exacerbated when initiated from second and third floor. Whilst the investigation is for a certain class of structures (regular building, intermediate reinforced structure, 3 stories), the results confirm the need for the incorporation of post earthquake fire in the process of analysis and design and provides some quantitative measures on the level of associated effects.

  • 열적특성이 비교적 열악한 재료인 유리를 내화성능이 요구되는 방화구획을 이루는 비내력벽에 사용하려는 시포가 국내외적으로 활발하게 진행되고 있는 중에서, 본 연구는 유리표면에 수막을 형성시켜 구획화재시 유리벽이 파열되지 않고 견딜 수 있는 성능을 가질 수 있는 초점을 맞추어 단계적인 실험을 실시하였다. 먼저 수직고가 3M이상인 유리벽에 균일하고도 단절이 없는 수막을 형성할 수 있는 시스템을 고안하여 대형내화로내에서 화염의 세기를 줄이지 않는, 즉 리바운드량이 거의 없는 수막을 형성시킬 수 있도록 제작한 후, 이 시스템을 사용하여 수막이 형성된 유리벽의 열적 특성을 확인하는데 중점을 두고 실험하였다. 다음에는 고안된 시스템을 소형과 대형의 유리벽에 적용시켜 우선적으로는 소형내화로에서 가열하여 기초적인 열적 특성을 조사한 후에 여기서 얻은 데이터를 근거로 실제규모의 실험이 가능한가를 판단한 후에 최종적으로는 2.4M$\times$3M크기의 대형의 유리벽에 수막을 형성한 플러드 노즐형 수막형성유리벽체를 대형내화로내에 거치하여 KS F2257에 의하여 가열하는 내화성능실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 수막이 왼벽하게 유리면을 도포된 상태에서만 유리가 파열되지 않았으며 이런 수막을 계속적으로 유지하는 데는 많은 변수가 있다는 것을 발견하였으며 또한 수막도포상태의 변화는 내화성능을 보유하는데 있어서 핵심적으로 작용한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • A commercial cyclic diphosphonate ester (TPMP) and melamine (MA) was combined and added to polyamide 6 (PA6) to prepare the fire retardant PA6. An increase of the oxygen index to 28.6 as well as an improvement of the UL-94 classification to V-0 rating was observed. Cone measurements explained the rate of heat release (RHR) decreased and TGA showed the early decomposition and high solid residue due to co-addition of TPMP and MA, suggesting the occurrence of synergistic effect of TPMP and MA on fire resistance of PA6. The morphology of the char developed during combust ion showed the appearance of thick, intumescent cells on the surface of retardant PA6, which protects the underlying material from the action of the heat flux or flame and limits the diffusion of combustible volatile products towards the flame and oxygen.

  • Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete(ALC) features such as a high performance insulation, the fire resistance, the advantage of easy handing construction, and lightweight panels applied the curtain wall system. ALC materials are certified as non-toxic environmental and eco-friendly productions. But ALC external panels mixed with blast furnace slag pounder and silica fume have to be coated with a stucco compound or plaster because of resisting the ambient environment. This study is that mixing tests to evaluate a performance analysis of exterior paints to be make-up pigments(organic or inorganic) coated with panel surface. Testing compared by KS F 2476; flow test, KS F 2426; compression strength test, KS F 2762; bond strength test. In results, the case of the inorganic binder, ratio of alumina cement : anhydrite is 90:10 to 80:20 at the highest level of intensity. In the case of the organic binder, adhesive strength rating at surface of ALC, the pullout strength is below 0.5 $N/mm^2$ but the normal concrete is over 2.0$N/mm^2$. A contents ratio of EVA resin is more than 3% and then bond strength is effectively.
