Atrium being on fire, the flame is spread vertically, the methods of fire protection and the standards of security are different respectively. Therefore, in the case of atrium, it has many problems on the fire protection and the application of statute according to the space properties. So it is important to analysis, atrium being on fire, fire properties to space properties. From these points of view, the purpose of this study is to analysis the fire properties of atrium .

This study is researched about the field trip of temples and the data for fire extinguishment manual of fire stations: it is done from June 2008 to December 2008 the 80 main temple wooden cultural properties among the 124 main wooden cultural properties appointed by the Cultural Heritage Administration. Cultural properties appointment classification, location classification, temple area, building area in a temple, building area of appointment cultural properties, a fire engine drive direction for fire suppression in a fire, distance from a fire station, and present condition of a fire administrator are researched. The cultural properties possess characteristic is in 2 cases: the whole things in a temple are appointed as cultural properties and only the wooden building is. The cultural properties are classified: the transport is possible or not. The special quality of cultural properties are classified for early correspondence and cultural properties transport in a fire and the basic data are arranged for damage limitation.

This study is searched in the on actual condition and analysis about the fire fighting measure of 123 main wooden cultural properties designated by the Cultural Heritage Administration. First, the management of wooden cultural properties and the present condition of fire occurrence are arranged. Second, The field research and the information research of related government agencies are done from August. 2008 to October. 2008 about 123 main wooden cultural properties: Cultural properties designation classification, location classification, building area, number of possession cultural properties, present condition of fire fighting, a fire engine drive direction for fire suppression, number of self-defense fire brigade, fire administrator nomination, and the distance and time from a fire station are arranged in this study. Third, the inside and outside present conditions are classified and analyzed by average index for the fire occurrence risk of 123 main wooden cultural properties. And the basic data is arranged for the fire fighting measure of main wooden cultural properties.

Recently, the plans and constructions of atrium are prevalent widely. But. in the case of atrium it has many problems from the viewpoint of space properties of atrium. Therefore, planning of fire protection is required urgently. The purpose of this study is to analysis the fire properties on the several heights of atrium through three models which the ratio of atrium's width to height is 1:1, 1:1.5 and 1:2 respectively.

Concrete is incombustible and has good fire resisting properties, i. e. when exposed to fire it continues to perform satisfactorily for a reasonable period of time. Nevertheless, with time and high temperature gradient, brought about the fire, causes cracking and spatting. Further deterioration and loss of strength are caused by gradual dehydration of concrete paste. This paper is aimed to make a proposal for the design and construction of reinforced concrete structures with more sufficent resistance to fire by the theoritical analysis, which is base4 on investigation of general damages by the fire and change of properties on concrete influenced by high temperature.

Changes on soil physical and chemical properties following the forest fire in Kosung area in Kangwon province were examined. Twenty seven sampling plots[16 burned (8 low intensity fire, 8 high intensity fire) and 11 unburned plots] from Pinus densiflora community were chosen and soil samples from three depths(0-5, 5-15, 15-25 cm) under the forest floor were collected. Forest fire in the area affected soil chemical properties. Soil pH, available phosphorus, base saturation, K, Ca, and Mg on the surface soil(0-5cm) in the burned areas compared with the unburned areas were increased, while soil properties on the subsurface soil(5-25 cm) were not changed. Organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and exchangeable cations following the high in tensity fire on the surface soil were generally lower than those in the low intensity fire areas. This indicates that these nutrients on high intensity fire areas may be volatilized. The results suggest that the fire effects on soil chemical properties were confined mainly to the surface soil and were different between the high and the low intensity fire types.

The domestic wooden cultural properties applied to the sprinkler extinguishing system was confirmed extinguishing performance through fire experiments. Consists of wooden cultural properties of a fire, a flammable material is vulnerable in terms of. The scale of fire will occur to vary appearance of the initial fire in case of arson. Sprinkler nozzles of the characteristics, the discharging pressure is 1 bar and the flow rate is 80 lpm, applied in this experiment. Fire performance experiments were tested in two separated in each of the scale of the fire and cultural properties. Fire extinguishing performance test results was low in high ceilings and two or more units of the fire scale. Fire growth environment of the actual wooden cultural properties to experimental models when you consider that it is more vulnerable, sprinkler extinguishing system is required sufficient verification in order to apply fire protection of the wooden cultural properties.

High strength steels have been widely applied in recent years due to high strength and good working performance. When subjected to fire conditions, the strength and elastic modulus of high strength steels deteriorate significantly and hence the load bearing capacity of structures reduces at elevated temperatures. The reduction factors of mechanical properties of high strength steels are quite different from mild steels. Therefore, the fire design methods deduced from mild steel structures are not applicable to high strength steel structures. In recent ten years, the first author of this paper has carried out a lot of fundamental research on fire behavior of high strength steels and structures. Summary of these research is presented in this paper, including mechanical properties of high strength steels at elevated temperature and after fire exposure, creep response of high strength steels at elevated temperature, residual stresses of welded high strength steel member after fire exposure, fire resistance of high strength steel columns, fire resistance of high strength steel beams, local buckling of high strength steel members, and residual strength of high strength steel columns after fire exposure. The results show that the mechanical properties of high strength steel in fire condition and the corresponding fire resistance of high strength steel structures are different from those of mild steel and structures, and the fire design methods recommended in current design codes are not applicable to high strength steel structures.

The fire resistance performance of 2 RC slabs after exposure to the ISO-834 fire standard without loading has been experimentally investigated. A Comparison is made of the fire resistance performance between RC slabs without PP(polypropylene) fibers and RC slabs with PP fibers. From the fire test results, the presence of PP fibers in RC slabs can reduce spalling and enhance their fire resistance. Until now, the determination of fire resistance of reinforced concrete(RC) slabs has essentially been based on tabulated data. According to ACI 216 code and EUROCODE 2, the design of concrete structures is essentially based on tabulated data for appropriate concrete cover and various fire durations. From the comparison between fire test results and codes, current fire design provisions of codes such as the ACI 216 and the EUROCODE 2 are unconservative for estimating mechanical properties of RC slabs at elevated temperatures.
