This paper is the fundamental study for manufacture of spalling resistance concrete and also analyses the mechanism and spalling resistance method with materials, mixture proportion and lateral confinement. The present work with the basic experiment achieved successful method for spalling resistance using both proper amounts of fiber contents and lateral confinement using metal lath. Moreover, the developed spalling resistance method was applied for full sized column construction in the Doosan We've Poseidon I field, located in Busan city. Authors investigated the physical properties examining workability, placeability and pumpability. These studies are continuously processing to develop new technology expecting remarkable impact on the spalling resistance and fire resistance performance of high-raise building construction in the future.

This paper reviews the relevant literatures and investigates spalling mechanism of high strength concrete, in order to clearly inform spalling problem in fire. Firstly, we studies literatures on spalling occurrence and resistance methods. Secondly chemical change of concrete components in elevated temperature was presented. Finally, mechanism of the spalling occurrence and spalling resistance were carried out with fiber content. In addition, our research team introduced spalling mechanism, being different from other points of view, which has been generally accepted. To secure this mechanism theory, we investigate spalling properties of certain specimens fabricated by roller spindle and made with mortar or concrete condition.

This paper is about manufacture of spalling resistance concrete and also investigates the spalling mechanism and spalling resistance method with diverse materials, mixture proportion and lateral confinement. The present work with the basic experiment achieved successful method for spatting resistance using both proper amounts of fiber contents and lateral confinement using metal lath. Moreover, the developed spatting resistance method was applied for full sized column construction in the Doosan We've Poseidon I field, located in Busan city. The author investigated the physical properties examining workability, placeability and pumpability. These studies are continuously processing to develop new technology expecting remarkable impact on the spatting resistance and fire resistance performance of high-raise building construction in the future.

This study is aimed to draw a optimum combined fiber mix condition to improve spalling resistance and flowability of ultra high-strength concrete. As a result, W/B 12.5% concrete specimens were prevented spalling with PE0.05+ PP0.1, PE0.05+NY0.1 and W/B 12.5% concrete specimens were prevented spalling with all of combined organic fiber mix condition. But There is no significant influence of steel fiber under 5% volume ratios to prevent spalling. In the scope of this study, we suggest that condition of optimum volume ratio PE0.05+NY0.1 is to improve spalling resistance, flowability and residual compressive strength.

This study investigates spalling properties of high performance concrete, 60MPa clan, made with the various types of coarse aggregate and adding ratio of polypropylene(PP) fiber. As experimental parameters, totally sixteen specimens of ${\phi}100{\times}200mm$ in size are prepared: one specimen for control without fiber, ten specimens with different coarse aggregate types, along with 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 percent of PP fiber in each. 1 hour fire test is conducted and then spalling appearance, spalling degree and residual compressive strength are examined. In addition, sit specimens made with two types of coarse aggregate site, along with same adding ratio of fiber are supplementally done, and only spalling properties is examined. Test results showed that control concrete and most specimens containing 0.05% of PP fiber exhibited 4 to 3 level of spalling degree, resulting severe explosive spalling, except for the specimen using basalt aggregate(Bc) showing 2 to 3 level of that. Especially, the Bc specimen containing 0.1% of the fiber exhibited that residual compressive strength value was 32%, which is 10% higher than other specimens using limestone or granite. Spalling resistance performance was also effective as aggregate size increase.

A macroscopic finite element model is applied to investigate the effect of fire induced spalling on the response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Spalling is accounted for in the model through pore pressure calculations in concrete. The principles of mechanics and thermodynamics are applied to compute the temperature induced pore pressure in the concrete structures as a function of fire exposure time. The computed pore pressure is checked against the temperature dependent tensile strength of concrete to determine the extent of spalling. Using the model, case studies are conducted to investigate the influence of concrete permeability, fire scenario and axial restraint on the fire induced spalling and also on the response of RC beams. Results from the analysis indicate that the fire induced spalling, fire scenario, and axial restraint have significant influence on the fire response of RC beams. It is also shown that concrete permeability has substantial effect on the fire induced spalling and thus on the fire response of concrete beams. The fire resistance of high strength concrete beams can be lower that that of normal strength concrete beams due to fire induced spalling resulting from low permeability in high strength concrete.

This study investigates the fundamental properties and examines spalling appearances and residual compressive strength of high strength concrete containing hybrid organic fibers subjected to fire. Test showed that overall, an increase of fiber content decreased the fluidity of concrete, but specimens containing polyvinyl alcoho(PVA)+polypropylene(PP) fiber and nylon(NY)+PP fiber had improved flow. In addition, the air content of all specimens was properly ranged in target value, regardless of fiber content. As for the spalling properties when completed the fire test, control concrete exhibited spalling occurrence due to sudden elevated temperature. However, specimens containing more than 0.1 vol% of PP fiber prevented the spalling, while specimens containing PP+CL and PVA+PP fiber can protected from fire in more than 0.15vol% of the fiber content. Importantly, a specimen containing only 0.05vol% of NY+PP showed the favorable spalling resistance performance.

The study examined fire resistance of concrete followed by change of mixed rate in PP and NY composite fiber and the results were as follows. In the event of fluidity in concrete not set, plane satisfied 600±100, its target slump flow, and fluidity was reduced as organic fiber's mixed rate was increased. Air amount satisfied 3.0±1.0, its target air amount, and didn't have distinct differences in reduction and increase according to organic fiber's kind and change of its mixed rate. However, it had a tendency that fluidity was reduced as the mixed rate was increased. In characteristics of hardening concrete, the 28th day compressive strength followed by organic fiber's kind and change of its mixed rate didn't have a lot of differences and satisfied high strength scope as about 70MPa. In spalling characteristics after fire resistance test, spalling was happened in non-mixture, plane combination, and P1N0. In other combinations, spalling resistance was happened. The relic compressive strength rate was 56%, the best condition, in P3N1(PP0.03%, NY0.01% compositeness) mixing PP fiber with NY fiber at once.

In this study, the fire resistance test was carried out with a parameter such as fiber(PP+NY) mixed ratio on high strength concrete with 80MPa, and the spalling resistance property was evaluated. Concrete material test was carried out with a parameter such as fiber(PP+NY) mixed ratio(0%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%) of high strength concrete with 80MPa. Although the flowability and the strength capacity were delicately decreased with a increase of fiber mixed ratio, they satisfied the target limits. As the spalling resistance property after the fire resistance test of 3 hours, the spalling was partly shown on the high strength concrete with fiber(PP+NY) mixed ratio of 0% but, wasn't shown on the high strength concrete with fiber(PP+NY) mixed ratio of 0.05% ~ 0.2%.
