For the past decade, South Korea had experienced catastrophic building fires, which resulted in consider-ably high number of casualties. This motivated research to develop fire-safe wall assemblies. In this study Fire Risk Analysis (FRA) is conducted as part of the project designing phase to ensure fire safety of the final product. Traditional approach was to consider fire performance at the end of the designing stage, when PASS/FAIL fire test results are required to be submitted to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). By applying a fire risk analysis to guide the designing phase, overall fire safety of a wall assembly can be achieved more systematically as conducting FRA allows designers to clearly identify elements that are more vulnerable to fire and simply replace them with other practical options. Severity of fire risk is determined by considering the fire hazards of a wall assembly such as the exterior layer, insulation, vertical connectivity, and external ignition sources (e.g., photovoltaic panels). Frequency of fire risk is assessed based on the factors affecting fire likelihood, which are air cavity and fire-stopping applied in the design, and random design changes occurring during on-site construction. Fire risk matrix is proposed based on these fire risk factors and efforts to reduce the fire risk level associated with the wall assembly are given by systematically assessing the fire risk factors identified from fire risk analysis. Current study demonstrates how fire risk analysis can be applied to develop fire-safe walls by reducing the relevant fire risks- both severity and frequency.

The post - fire investigation is conducted on a fire-affected reinforced concrete shear wall building to ascertain the level of its strength degradation due to the fire incident. Fire incident took place in a three-storey building made of reinforced concrete shear wall and roof with operating floors made of steel beams and chequered plates. The usage of the building is to handle explosives. Elevated temperature during the fire is estimated to be $350^{\circ}C$ based on visual inspection. Destructive (core extraction) and non-destructive (rebound hammer and ultrasonic pulse velocity) tests are conducted to evaluate the concrete strength. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) are used for analyzing micro structural changes of the concrete due to fire. Tests are conducted for concrete walls and roof slab on both burnt and unburnt locations. The analysis of test results reveals no significant degradation of the building after the fire which signifies that the structure can be used with full expectancy of performance for the remaining service life. This document can be used as a reference for future forensic investigations of similar fire affected concrete structures.

It can be meaningful that this study attempted to analyze the use cases and forms based on the literature on the painting walls of the J oseon Dynasty, and attempted basic research to prevent disaster damage using traditional elements. This study summarizes the use of the Hwabangbyeok wall of J oseon Dynasty as follows. First, Hwabangbyeok wall was used from the early J oseon Dynasty and was adopted by palaces and other major state facilities to cope with fire and theft. Second, the Hwabangbyeok Wall was also referred to as the wall below the lower part of the wall, and was constructed with the purpose of preventing disasters from outside. Third, in an analysis of the Daeseongjeon shrine of Hyanggyo, many construction cases were identified mainly in the Gyeonggi area, which is assumed to be based on production and construction conditions along with local climatic factors. Fourth, it can be said that the Hwabangbyeok wall was basically adopted to prevent comprehensive disaster risk reduction in case of external intrusion and fire.

이 연구는 전통 벽체 형식으로서 중인방을 포함한 목골조 경량벽체의 내화성능에 대한 것이다. 대상으로 한 경량벽체는 $38{\times}89$ mm($2"{\times}4"$) 목재를 골구로 하고 방회석고보드로 마감하는 형식의 비내력구조 이다. 벽체의 중간부에는 $150{\times}150$ mm 단면의 집성목 중인방을 설치하였다. 실험체는 단열재 유무 등에 따라 3가지 타입으로 제작하였다. 내화실험 결과 실험체-1, 2, 3 모두 90분 이상의 내화성능을 확보하는 것으로 나타났고, 각각 92분, 98분, 99분만에 중인방의 측면과 하부에서 불꽃이 발생하여 실험을 중단하였다. 가열면의 방화석고보드($12.5mm{\times}2$겹)는 약 45분간 내화성능을 유지하는 것으로 나타났고, 중인방의 연소는 일반적인 목재의 탄화속도와 유사한 거동을 보였다 벽체 내부의 목재스터드는 방화석고보드의 기여로 연소가 지연되는 동안 탈수가 일어나 고온에 노출된 이후에는 수분에 의한 온도상승 지연효과가 일어나지 않고 비교적 빠른 연소가 진행되는 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of thickness and moisture on temperature distributions of reinforced concrete walls under fire conditions. Toward this goal, the first three wall specimens having different thicknesses are heated for 2 h according to ISO standard heating curve and the temperature distribution through the wall thickness is measured. Since the thermal behavior of the tested walls is influenced by thickness, as well as moisture content, three additional walls are prepared and preheated to reduce moisture content and then tested under fire exposure. The experimental results clearly show the temperatures measured close to the fire exposed surface of the thickest wall with 250 mm thickness is the highest in the temperatures measured at the same location of the thinner wall with 150 mm thickness because of the moisture clog that is formed inside the wall with 250 mm of thickness. This prevents heat being transferred to the opposite side of the heated surface. This is also confirmed by the thermal behavior of the preheated walls, showing that the temperature is well distributed in the preheated walls as compared to that in non-preheated walls. Finite element models including moisture clog zone are generated to simulate fire tests with consideration of moisture clog effect. The temperature distributions of the models predicted from the transient heat analyses are compared with experimental results and show good agreements. In addition, parametric studies are performed with various moisture contents in order to investigate effect of moisture contents on the thermal behaviors of the concrete walls.

본 연구에서는 두 개의 주요 구조부분으로 구성된 새로운 하이브리드 목조 벽체의 내화성능을 평가하였다. 수직하중을 전적으로 담당하는 기둥-보 형태의 기본 골조에 두 가지 형태의 벽체가 채워졌을 때 이 전체를 내력 벽체로 가정하고 그 내화성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 하이브리드 벽체의 기본 개념은 뼈대를 갖는 전형적인 가구의 구조로부터 채용되었다. 기본이 되는 기둥-보 골조는 국산 낙엽송 소재로서, 기둥은 $180mm{\times}180mm$, 보는 $180mm{\times}240mm$ 단면의 부재가 사용되었다. 기둥-보 골조의 내부에 채워지는 벽체는 두 종류로서, 하나는 블러킹이 사용된 일반적인 경골목구조 벽체이고, 또 하나는 구조용 패널 사이에 스티로폼 단열재가 채워져 일체화된 구조를 이루는 구조용 단열 패널 벽체이다. 내화성능 시험에 사용된 모든 벽체는 2겹의 방화석고보드를 화염 노출면에 부착하였다. 모든 벽체는 우선 기둥-보 골조가 없는 상태에서 표준화염 조건에서 내화성능 시험을 수행하였고 다시 기둥-보 골조와 결합된 형태로 내화성능 시험을 수행하였다. 시험에 적용된 화염조건은 KS F 2257의 조건을 적용하였고 시험 중 구조체 내부 각 부위의 온도변화도 측정하였다. 본 연구를 통해 기둥-보 골조의 보강이 목구조 벽체의 내화성능 향상에 상당히 기여하는 것으로 확인되었다.

높이 1m의 수직벽면에서 3g/m^2-s$로 연소하는 프로판 수직벽 화재에 대한 수치모사를 수행하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 자연대류에서의 검증결과를 확인하고, 수직벽 화재의 수치모사의 결과를 이전의 연구와 비교하는 것이다 C_s=0.2$일 때 유동이 층류 경계층으로 나타났지만, C_s=0.1$일 때는 난류 경계층임을 확인하였다. z 방향 속도로부터 자연대류에서와 마찬가지로 난류혼합이 부족한 것으로 나타났고, 온도와 속도의 분포가 실험 및 이전의 시뮬레이션과 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 특히 x 방향 속도가 실험과 매우 잘 일치함으로써 경계층으로 공기유입이 잘 예측됨을 알 수 있었다.

While the extruded cement panel has many advantages compared to drywall, it has limited applicability in buildings due to its low fire resistance. However, an extruded panel in which the fire resistance has been dramatically enhanced through the addition of a-hemihydrate gypsum is expected to become widely applied as a partition wall or interior material for buildings. To ensure its applicability, certain safety requirements for use, such as the leaning load by residents, the impact by indoor articles, and the fire, need to be taken into consideration. The purpose of this study is to review the impact load resistance, horizontal load resistance, and fire resistance as required safety properties for the partition wall and interior materials of the extruded panel that includes a-hemihydrate gypsum. The results of this study show that the impact load resistance of the extruded panel that includes a-hemihydrate gypsum achieves SD grade for industrial buildings, and the horizontal impact load resistance achieves HD grade for public buildings. In addition, it provides fire-resistance for approximately 7 minutes longer than the existing extruded cement panel. Based on this result, it is confirmed the extruded panel incorporating a-hemihydrate gypsum has adequate safety properties for use as partition wall or interior material.

열중량 분석법(TGA)을 이용하여 소방용 합성수지 배관으로 사용되는 CPVC의 활성화 에너지를 측정하였다. 열중량 분석법을 이용한 활성화 에너지는 Kissinger method와 Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method를 이용하여 계산하였다. 활성화 에너지를 계산한 결과 Kissinger method에 의해 128.07 kJ/mol, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method에 의해 145.60 kJ/mol로 나타났다. Kissinger method와 Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method에 의해 계산된 활성화 에너지의 차이는 해석 방법이 다르다는 점을 감안했을 때 큰 차이가 없다고 판단된다. 향후 가속열화을 이용한 열적 열화평가 및 공기오븐노화시험을 통한 CPVC의 연소특성을 시험하고, 수명을 예측하고자 한다.
