Intumescent system is a highly effective flame retardant technology that takes advantage of the mechanism of foaming and carbonization. In order to materialize Intumescent system, it is necessary to use reinforcement material to improve the strength of the material. In this study, we used kenaf as a natural fiber to manufacture intumescent/EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) composites to improve mechanical and flame retardant performance. Finally two materials with different particle shape are applied to one system. Therefore, the influence factors of the particles with different shapes on the composite material were analyzed based on the tensile test. For this purpose, we have used the tensile strength analysis model and confirmed that it can only act as a partial strength reinforcement due to weak binding force between the matrix and particles. In the combustion characteristics analysis using cone calorimeter and UL 94, the combustion characteristics were enhanced as the content of Intuemscent was increased. As the content of kenaf increased, combustion characteristics were strengthened and carbonization characteristics were weakened. Through the application of kenaf, it can be confirmed that elastic modulus improvement and combustion characteristics can be strengthened, which confirmed the possibility of development of environmentally friendly flame retardant materials.

This paper presents an investigation of the thermal performance of composite floor slabs with profiled steel decking exposed to fire effects from floor. A detailed finite-element model has been developed by representing the concrete slab with steel decking under of it and steel beam both steel parts protected by intumescent coating. Although this type of floor systems offers a better fire resistance, passive fire protection materials should be applied when a higher fire resistance is desired. Moreover, fire exposed side is so crucial for composite slab systems as the total fire behaviour of the floor system changes dramatically. When the fire attack from steel parts, the temperature rises rapidly resulting in a sudden decrease on the strength of the beam and decking. Herein this paper, the fire attack side is assumed from the face of the concrete floor (top of the concrete assembly). Therefore, the heat is transferred through concrete to the steel decking and reaching finally to the steel beam both protected by intumescent coating. In this work, the numerical model has been established to predict the heat transfer performance including material properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat and dry film thickness of intumescent coating. The developed numerical model has been divided into different layers to understand the sensitivity of steel temperature to the number of layers of intumescent coating. Results show that the protected composite floors offer a higher fire resistance as the temperature of the steel section remains below 60℃ even after 60-minute Standard (ISO) fire and Fast fire exposure. Obtaining lower temperatures in steel due to the great fire performance of the concrete itself results in lesser reductions of strength and stiffness hence, lesser deflections.

최근 들어 늘어나고 있는 도시형 화재 사고와 건축 외장재에 따른 화재 피해 사례의 증가에 따라 난연처리기술의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 특히, 목재를 기반으로 한 건축재료의 활용에 있어서 난연처리기술은 더욱 중요하게 평가되고 있다. Intumescent 시스템은 비할로겐계 난연처리기술의 하나로, 발포와 탄화층 형성을 통하여 난연성을 구현하는 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 Intumescent 시스템을 적용하기 위해 Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)를 매트릭스로 채용하여 복합재료를 제조하였다. Intumescent 시스템의 난연특성을 강화하기 위해 나노클레이를 함께 적용하였다. Intumescent 시스템과 나노클레이 기술을 함께 적용한 복합재료를 시트상의 시험편으로 가공한 후, 이를 활용하여 표면의 난연특성이 강화된 새로운 구조의 교호집성재를 제작하였다. Intumescent 시스템을 적용한 복합재료의 연소특성 평가에서 최대 열방출량이 효과적으로 감소되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 표면에 부착된 구조에 따라 CLT는 두 단계에 걸친 연소 현상이 발생했다. 또한, 심부 연소 과정에서 최대 열방출률이 크게 감소하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 특성은 목재의 연소과정에 있어 연소 확산지연효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 표면단판에 대한 난연처리기술 및 복합재료 적용 최적화 기술을 통해 보다 화재특성이 개선된 CLT 구조체 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Other countries(USA, Europe) have performed the fire resistance design of buildings by the alternative performance design methods, which are based on fire engineering theories. However, in Korea, the process on the alternative fire resistance performance design has only suggested without any applications for real steel structures. Therefore, In the case of steel structures stagnant research on refractory measures face difficulties in introducing fire resistance design. In this study, first of all, Intumescent paint was analyze the thermal properties(thermal conductivity, specific heat and density). In Sequence, using the section factor by H-standard section propose of section concrete filled steel tube and hollow. finally presents a reasonable thickness Intumescent paint takes time to target performance of the proposed cross-section steel tube.

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.

본 논문에서는 SC가 시멘트 복합재료의 균열 자기치유 성능 및 역학적 회복성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 캡슐화된 팽창성 무기재료 기반 고상 치유재를 제조하였다. SC는 시멘트 복합재료에 혼합하여 기초특성, 투수시험, 하중 재부하 시험을 평가하였다. SC는 시멘트 복합재료의 플로우를 다소 향상되었으며, 압축강도는 약 10 % 감소하였다. 또한 휨강도의 경우 약 30 % 감소하였다. SC를 시멘트 복합재료에 5 % 혼합할 경우, Plain의 균열 자기치유율이 약 𝜟10 % 수준을 향상시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 하중 재부하 실험 결과, Plain의 역학적 회복율을 약 𝜟20 % 수준을 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다. 균열 자기치유율과 하중 재부하 시험에 의한 역학적 회복율의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, SC로 인하여 Plain의 치유면적을 증대시킬 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.
