  • This paper is to investigate the spalling and fire endurance of high performance RC column member with PP fiber and lateral confinement of metal lath and non fire resistance removal type form. According to test results, combination of PP fiber and metal lath as well as use fire resistance non removal type form had favorable fire resistance by discharging internal vapour pressure and lateral confining. After fire endurance test, compressive strength decreased markedly caused by internal expansion pressure and crack. Residual strength of plain concrete was decreased to $22\%$. The use of PP fiber and lateral confinement of metal lath and non removal type form enhanced the residual strength above $40\%$. Especially, the combination of $0.1\%$ of PP fiber and lateral confinement with the level of 2.3T exhibited more than $51\%$ of residual strength. Therefore, to improve fire endurance and spalling resistance, the combination of $0.1\%$ of PP fiber and metal lath with 2.3T can be the proper measure.

  • This study discussed the prevention of the spalling and improvement of the fire resistance performance how to fill up lightweight foamed concrete on high strength RC column attached with the stone panel. The destructive spalling extremely occur caused by sudden high temperature and increased vapor pressure corresponding to falling the ston panel at all RC column, and the steel bar is exposed. The stone panel fall off about 30 minutes and spalling occur about 70 minutes on Plan RC column, fire endurance paint, and fire endurance mortar, so it can be confirmed that fire endurance paint and mortar, which is used as fire endurance material, are not effective. In the other side, it can be protected from fire about $120{\sim}140$ minutes when the lightweight foamed concrete is used as fire endurance material. For the weight loss after the fire test, plain is 33, fire endurance paint is 37%, and fire endurance mortar s 40.7%. And W/B 60%-3 is 53.4%, 60%-1.5 is 40.1%,65%-3 is 39.4%, and 65%-1.5% is 47.1. Overall, the weight loss of the plain is lower than that of the lightweight foamed concrete.

  • The function of fire barrier penetration sealing is highly important to confine a fire propagation a fire severity within a fire area where the fire started. Especially for the penetration seals at the nuclear power plants with the long-term operated history, it is needed to make it clear that the conformance to the sealing requirements has been proven to guarantee the fire-resistive performance of fire barrier penetration parts. If there are any parts of fire barrier penetration sealing which can not meet the required rating for the fire endurance performance, the relevant parts must be modified to meet regulatory requirements. At this paper, the engineering analysis methodology was established to approximate the fire endurance rating for the fire barrier penetration seals. With this study, the method of engineering analysis to decide fire endurance rating for the fire barrier penetration seals was established and this way can be utilized to check the performance of the fire rating for the penetration seal at the domestic nuclear power plants.

  • With the increasing use of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) as structural members, there is a growing need to provide suitable measures for possible strengthening or repair of these kinds of structural elements. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing is a recent method and is particularly attractive in which it does not significantly increase the section size, and is relatively easy to install. Thus, it can be used to enhance strength and/or ductility of CFST members. Very little information is available on the performance of FRP-strengthened CFST members under fire conditions. This paper is an attempt to study the fire performance of CFST columns strengthened by FRP. The results of fire endurance tests on FRP-strengthened circular CFST columns are presented. Failure modes of the specimens after exposure to fire, temperatures in the cross section, axial deformation and fire resistance of the composite columns are analysed. It is demonstrated that the required fire endurance can be achieved if the strengthened composite columns are appropriately designed.

  • Earthquake and fire are both severe disasters for building structures. Since earthquake-induced damage will weaken the structure and reduce its fire endurance, it is important to investigate the behavior of structure subjected to post-earthquake fire. In this paper, steel-concrete composite beam-to-column joints were tested under fire with pre-damage caused by cyclic loads. Beforehand, three control specimens with no pre-damage were tested to capture the static, cyclic and fire-resistant performance of intact joints. Experimental data including strain, deflection and temperature recorded at several points are presented and analyzed to quantify the influence of cyclic damage on fire resistance. It is indicated that the fire endurance of damaged joints decreased with the increase of damage level, mainly due to faster heating-up rate after cyclic damage. However, cracks induced by cyclic loading in concrete are found to mitigate the concrete spalling at elevated temperatures. Moreover, the relationship between fire resistance and damage degree is revealed from experimental results, which can be applied in fire safety design and is worthwhile for further research.

  • This study discusses spalling and fire enduring performance of high performance concrete (HPC) RC column subjected to loading under heating for 3 hours. According to the test, both the plain concrete and the concrete attached with fire enduring PC panel exceed allowable temperature after 60 minutes due to the exposure of steel bar and falling off of concrete resulting from severe spalling failure. It leads to buckling of main bar and at the same time, occurrence of collapse of plain HPC column member is observed after 2 hours and 1 hour 40 minutes's exposure to fire, respectively. On the other hand, HPC applying both PP fiber of 0.1$\%$ by mass of concrete and PP fiber+lateral confinement by metal lath maintains their original cross section, which is satisfied with the 3 hours fire endurance criteria, by discharging internal vapour pressure and enhanced lateral confinement force.

  • Fire performance is the important criterion for evaluating of safety of wood structures which exposed to the standard fire condition. Endurance time and time-to-failure are used as the criteria for fire performance in many countries. Reliability analysis about wood floor system which exposed to fire was carried out as preliminary research for reliability-based design on fire. Analyses were conducted by two methods, numerical analysis method and deterministic method.. They didn't show the difference between two methods. The reliability of floor exposed to fire showed strong dependence on the coefficient of variation of member and did not be influenced by the strength or load of member.

  • High performance concrete(HPC) has been widely used in high-rise building. The HPC has several benefits including high strength, high fluidity and high durability. However, spalling is susceptible to occur in HPC and HPC also tends to be deteriorated in the side of fire resistance performance at fire. This paper investigated the spalling prevention of high performance RC column. Control concrete showed severe failure and a case of concrete with fire enduring spraying material exhibited more severe spalling failure than even control concrete. In addition, concrete with fire enduring paint reported the most favorable spalling resistance effect for preventing spall, compared with other concrete covered with finishing materials, such as fire enduring spraying material, gypsum board, marble board and fire enduring PC board. Meanwhile, concrete adding 0.1% of PP fiber demonstrated spalling resistance performance after 3hours load bearing test.

  • This study investigates the engineering and fire endurance properties of ultra high strength concrete. The mixture proportions with water to binder ratios (W/B) of 0.15 and 0.25 consist of various adding ratios, such as 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 and 0.3 percent respectively, of polypropylene (PP) fiber. As for the parameters of specimens, fluidity, compressive strength and unloading fire test were carried out. Test showed that an increase of fiber contents had the favorable properties in fire endurance performance; specimens in W/B 15% required 0.3vol% of PP fiber and specimens in W/B 25% needed only 0.1vol% to prevent spalling.
