The main objective of the present study is to investigate the performance characteristics of a ground-source heat pump(GSHP) system with a 130 m vertical and 62 mm nominal diameter U-tube ground heat exchanger. In order to evaluate the performance analysis, the ground-source heat pump connected to a test room with $90\;m^2$ floor area in the Korea Institute of Construction $Technology(37^{\circ}39'N,\;126^{\circ}48'E)$ was designed and constructed. This ground-source heat pump system mainly consisted of ground heat exchanger, indoor heat pumps and measuring devices. The cooling and heating loads of the test room were 5.5 and 7.2 kW at design conditions, respectively. The experimental results were obtained from July 2, 2003 to July 1, 2004. The cooling and heating performance coefficients of the system were determined from the measured data. The average cooling and heating COPs for the system were obtained to be 4.90 and 3.96, respectively. The temperature variations in ground and the ground heat exchanger pipe surface at different depths were also measured.

Recently, a novel cast-in specialty insert was developed in Korea as an anchor for lightweight pipe supports, including fire-protection pipes. As these pipe supports and anchors play a critical role in transferring loads of fire-protection pipes to structural members, it is crucial to evaluate their seismic performance before applying the newly developed insert. In this study, the seismic shear performance of the insert anchors was evaluated through cyclic loading tests based on the loading protocols of ACI 355.2 and FEMA 461. Initially, five monotonic loading tests were conducted on the insert anchors in cracked concrete, followed by cyclic loading tests based on the monotonic test results. The findings revealed that the insert anchors exhibited negligible decrease in shear strength even after cyclic loading. Furthermore, a comparison of the maximum load and displacement of the insert anchors obtained under the loading protocols of ACI 355.2 and FEMA 461 was performed to investigate the applicability of the FEMA 461 loading protocol for anchor performance evaluation.

강구조 건축물의 바닥하중은 보부재를 통하여 기둥부재로 전달되며, 보부재는 양단 고정단 또는 단순보 조건으로 구성된다. 양단 고정단 강재보와 한단 힌지 그리고 타단 회전단의 단순보는 경계조건의 차이에 따라 전달되는 최대하중과 처짐 등 구조적 내력성능이 상이하나, 화재 시 내화성능 평가는 단순보의 경계조건으로 평가되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 강재보의 경계조건에 따른 내력적 성능의 차이를 확인하기 위하여 일반 구조용 강재(SS 400)의 고온특성을 적용한 열전달해석 및 열응력해석을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 동일한 보부재의 길이와 단면 조건하에서 부정정 구조물인 고정단 경계조건이 정정 단순보 경계조건에 비해서 내력과 처짐이 건전한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 강재 보의 내화시험 시 단순보로 시험하는 것이 안전측으로 판단되었다.

기존 합성기둥의 장점을 유지하면서 콘크리트 충전 시 거푸집 공사의 절감과 충전상태의 육안 확인이 가능한 철골 콘크리트 합성기둥(이하 SC 합성기둥)에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. SC 합성기둥은 콘크리트가 철골의 웨브를 둘러싸고 있어 화재 발생시 높은 열이 웨브까지 전달되는 시간을 지연시켜 뛰어난 내화성능을 가질 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 SC 합성기둥에 대해 열전달 해석을 수행하였고, 이를 바탕으로 P-M 상관 곡선을 이용하여 내화성능을 평가를 하였고, 이때의 해석변수는 콘크리트 면적비와 내화피복두께로 하였다. 또한 열전달 해석 방법을 검증하기 위해서 실제 수행된 실험 결과와 비교하여 이의 적절성을 검증하였다.

The purpose of this paper is to present a model for operating an emergency power system(EPS) that can secure a sufficient power supply used in case of a fire by analyzing the status of power supplies for emergency and firefighting operations. Investigations on the one of the causes of the operational failure of firefighting systems show evidence of EPS. Generally, when power to a building is interrupted, EPS supplies the emergency load(excepted firefighting load) first. When a power outage and a fire occur simultaneously, the EPS must be able to supply both the emergency load and the firefighting load, especially the firefighting load to the end. However, in order to save construction costs, emergency power generators in apartment, commercial, and business buildings can satisfy only one of the required loads. In cases like this, when a power outage and a fire occur simultaneously, there is a danger of firefighting equipment not operating due to insufficient power supply from the emergency generator. Therefore, an EPS must have a reserved firefighting power that can supply both the firefighting and the emergency load. Such EPS, when faced with a danger of an overload, will shut down the supply to all or part of the emergency load, thus securing a continuous power supply to the firefighting equipment. The generator power system with reserved firefighting power (RFP) will also have an indicator to show that the selective control is being used. General power generation systems for emergency load and firefighting load were found to have a demand factor of 50-60% with a lump. However, when installing an EPS, the builders must choose the higher demand factor suggested according to the official approval demand factor of the building.

Mineral wool is an insulation material commonly used in passive fire protection (PFP) systems on offshore installations. Insulation materials have only been considered functional materials for thermal analysis in the conventional offshore PFP system design method. Hence, the structural performance of insulation has yet to be considered in the design of PFP systems. However, the structural elements of offshore PFP systems are often designed with excessive dimensions to satisfy structural requirements under external loads such as wind, fire and explosive pressure. To verify the structural contribution of insulation material, it was considered a structural material in this study. A series of material tensile tests was undertaken with two types of mineral wool at room temperature and at elevated temperatures for fire conditions. The mechanical properties were then verified with modified methods, and a database was constructed for application in a series of nonlinear structural and thermal finite-element analyses of an offshore bulkhead-type PFP system. Numerical analyses were performed with a conventional model without insulation and with a new suggested model with insulation. These analyses showed the structural contribution of the insulation in the structural behaviour of the PFP panel. The results suggest the need to consider the structural strength of the insulation material in PFP systems during the structural design step for offshore installations.

This paper is aimed to develop monitoring software for detecting the characteristics of current and voltage signals for series arc on electric wire. In order to attain this purpose, the characteristics of series arc were analyzed by the current and voltage signals on electric wire which were installed, and also analyzed by the changes of RMS, instantaneous of waveform value in time domain and THD in frequency domain. Monitoring program which analyze the signal was developed by Labview which can analyze in time domain and frequency domain, and save data. Experimental setup for detecting verification of monitoring program was composed loads of a lamp, an electric heater and an electric fan loads which were usually using. Measurement points for detecting verification of monitoring program were selected at both the panel board and the arc generator at the same time. As results of the experiments by monitoring program, the arc current waveform showed the same characteristic in all measurement points of all load. But the arc voltage waveform was different in each measurement point. When arc occurred, the THD of current value increased above 20%. The results of this study will be effectively used in developing the preventive system of electric fire by series arc.

According to the definition, progressive collapse could occur due to the initial partial failure of the structural members which by spreading to the adjacent members, could result in partial or overall collapse of the structure. Up to now, most researchers have investigated the progressive collapse due to explosion, fire or impact loads. But new research has shown that the seismic load could also be a factor for initiation of the progressive collapse. In this research, the progressive collapse capacity for the 5 and 15-story steel special moment resisting frames using push-down nonlinear static analysis, and nonlinear dynamic analysis under the gravity loads specified in the GSA Guidelines, were studied. After identifying the critical members, in order to investigate the seismic progressive collapse, the 5-story steel special moment resisting frame was analyzed by the nonlinear time history analysis under the effect of earthquakes with different characteristics. In order to account for the initial damage, one of the critical columns was weakened at the initiation of the earthquake or its Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA). The results of progressive collapse analyses showed that the potential of progressive collapse is considerably dependent upon location of the removed column and the number of stories, also the results of seismic progressive collapse showed that the dynamic response of column removal under the seismic load is completely dependent on earthquake characteristics like Arias intensity, PGA and earthquake frequency contents.
