Asbestos is the collective name for a group of naturally occurring minerals in their fibrous form and hydrous silicates of magnesium and a mineral fiber that has been used commonly in a variety of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire-retardant. Asbestos has been used for a wide range of manufactured goods, because of its fiber strength and heat resistant properties. Nevertheless harmful of asbestos is quite serious. Exposure to airborne friable asbestos may result in a potential health risk because persons breathing the air may breathe in asbestos fibers. Continued exposure can increase the amount of fibers that remain in the lung. Fibers embedded in lung tissue over time may cause serious lung diseases including asbestosis, lung cancer. In this paper, we carried out as fundamental study for dispose of asbestos cement slate safely and perfectly. Melting Temperature of asbestos need to more than $1,520^{\circ}C$ and specially asbestos cement slate need more energy than that of pure asbestos. We need to decrease melting temperature of asbestos cement slate for economical efficiency. To the purpose, glass and bottom ash were chosen as additives for basicity control. we analyzed about properties of asbestos cements slate, melting characteristics on the additives ratio and temperature. We confirmed about harmlessness of melting slag through analysis of scanning electron microscope(SEM) and x-ray diffractometer(XRD).

To investigate opportunities for wood frame housing and to activate wood frame house construction, trends of construction activities. preference about housing, and building codes related to wood frame housing were discussed. And two models of wood frame house were developed and construction cost was analyzed to compare with comparative masonry houses. The results obtained were as follows: 1. While 77.8% of people prefer single-family houses, majority of people(74.9%), ironically, possess multi-family houses such as apartments Wood work cost was ratio of 4% of total building cost. while wood material cost accounted merely for 11 % out of total building material cost. 2. Building code was not major barrier to residential house at height under 13m. The building code regulated major structural member and family boder wall of multi-family house to be built with fire retardant material. 3. The proper wood frame house was analyzed of town house or villa type locating in suburban of big city with hot ondol system for the upper middle class. 4 There was no difference in construction cost between western style wood frame house and comparable masonry house, but construction cost for Korean style wood frame house is 27% higher than that of comparable masonry house. It was necessary to reduce materials and cost down by prefabrication technique for both style of wood frame house.

Recently, the importance of improving air quality has been greatly highlighted due to environmental problems such as indoor air pollution, and efforts are being made to improve indoor air quality not only in Korea but also around the world. In this situation, this study aims to study the physical properties of cement boards using pearlite with excellent physical adsorption performance due to micropores in materials, expanded graphite that is widely used as a flame retardant to prevent heat transfer in the event of a fire. The experimental items are bending fracture load and impact resistance. The bending destruction load at the fiber mixing rates 1, 2, 3, and 4 (%) did not meet the standard 140N, but the bending destruction load at 5% was 168.2N, and the impact resistance of the fiber mixing rates 1 and 2 (%) could not be measured due to cracks and damage, and the impact resistance at 3, 4, and 5 (%).

This study was performed to test the combustion-retardation properties of Pinus rigida-based materials by the treatment of ammonium salts. Pinus rigida plate was soaked by the treatment with three 20 wt% ammonium salt solutions consisting ammonium sulfate (AMSF), monoammonium phosphate (MAPP), and diammonium phosphate (DAPP), respectively, at the room temperature. After the drying specimen treated with chemicals, combustion properties were examined by the cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1). When the ammonium salts were used as the retardant for Pinus rigida, the flame retardancy improved due to the treated ammonium salts in the virgin Pinus rigida. However the specimen shows increasing CO over virgin Pinus rigida and It is supposed that toxicities depend on extents. Also, the specimen with ammonium sulfate showed both the lower total smoke release (TSR) and lower total smoke production (TSP) than those of virgin plate. Among the specimens, the sample treated with diammonium phosphate showed a strong inhibitory effect of combustion.

Flame retardant(FR) clothes prohibit additional fire diffusion and make the personnel do their tasks without a hitch in a flammable environment. The existing FR clothes, however, are heavy and give high thermal fatigue. Therefore, it is strongly demanded to develop a light, convenient, and eco-friendly clothes. Recently, many works have been reported to make FR fabrics with phosphorus compounds, but their performance could not satisfy the specified criteria in appraisal standards of domestic and American FR clothes or combat uniforms. In this paper, two kinds of phosphorus compounds were applied to cotton fabric. Graphene oxide functionalized with a phosphorus-rich deep eutectic solvent and ammonium polyphosphate were coated on cotton fabric by eco-friendly padding procedure. The coated fabrics were analyzed with thermogravimetric analysis, vertical flame resistance test(ASTM D6413), cone calorimeter test(ISO 5660-1), and method of test for limited flame spread(ISO 15025). It was revealed that the as-made cotton with those two materials simultaneously had better flame resistance than the cottons with each one. Furthermore, an additional coating for hydrophobicity on the FR cotton was tried for better washing fastness.

One of the restriction of wood as building material is its combustibility. The purpose of this paper is to examine the combustion properties of the quercus variabilis and zelkova serrata which are dried at room temperature and meet the desirable characteristics for use of construction materials. The cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1) was used to determine the heat release rate (HRR) and fire smoke index, as well as CO production and smoke obscuration. The $HRR_{mean}$ 77.94 kW/$m^2$ of the quercus variabilis at 50 kW/$m^2$ was high in comparison with $HRR_{mean}$ 13.06 kW/$m^2$ for the zelkova serrata. Furthermore, the quercus variabilis has high specific extinction area ($SEA_{mean}$), 41.11 $m^2$/kg compared with $SEA_{mean}$ 9.23 $m^2$/kg of zelkova serrata. Thease results are depend on the density of tested wood species. In addition, the quercus variabilis has high CO production rate compared with that of zelkova serrata. Also, zelkova serrata showed an increase of retardant properties attributed to char formation compared with that of quercus variabilis.

In this study, silicone rubber filled with environmentally-friendly perlite was prepared by mechanical mixing in order to improve thermal properties, such as heat and fire resistances. We found that the properties of silicone rubber composites depended on perlite concentration by various characterization methods. Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) indicated that the initial degradation temperature of silicone/perlite composite was higher than that of pristine silicone rubber. The gas torch test showed that the opposite side temperature of composite materials was remarkably low as compared to that of pristine silicone rubber. In addition, the composites containing 5 wt% and 10 wt% of perlite showed remarkable thermal stability at elevated temperatures according to the results of both fireproof furnace tests under the RABT condition and carbonization furnace tests. The images from a scanning electron microscope(SEM) showed the degree of dispersion of perlite in silicone rubber. Finally, it was confirmed that limited oxygen index(LOI) was increased with perlite concentration.

본 연구는 방염성능시험에 의한 필름 및 도료처리 시료를 대상으로 화재 시 발생하는 연소가스 중의 독성에 대하여 NES 713 방법에 의해 분석하고, 독성지수를 확인함으로써 연소 시 인체에 미치는 영향을 간접적으로 확인해 보고자 하였다. 기존 방염제품 중 필름과 도료처리 그리고 도료처리 후 기간이 경과한 시료의 3가지로 실험군을 구분하였으며, NES 713 방법으로 연소가스를 분석하고 독성지수를 평가하였으며, 추가로 기존의 국내 노출기준과의 비교를 수행하였으며, 국내 NES 713 방법을 활용한 선행연구들을 참조하였다. 발암가능 추정물질인 아크릴로니트릴은 총 18개의 시료에서 검출되었으며, 포름알데히드는 9개의 시료에서 검출되었다. 염화수소와 브롬화수소는 각각 5개의 시료들에서 검출된 반면에 도료처리된 시료에서는 각각 1개만이 검출되었다. 그 외 일산화탄소와 이산화탄소 그리고 질소산화물은 모든 시료에서 공통적으로 검출되었다. 독성지수는 최소 3.5에서 최고 9.4의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 수행한 NES 713 분석결과와 독성지수 산출 및 기존 국내 노출기준과의 비교를 수행해 본 결과는 다음과 같았다. 첫째, 현행 국내 기준 상 방염제품의 독성시험 등에 관한 기준이 없고, 둘째, 방염제품에 대한 연소가스 독성 등을 평가한 선행연구가 제한적이라는 점에서 의미가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 하지만 독성지수의 적용이 국내에서 이루어지고 있지 않은 현실에서 산출도나 독성지수의 위해정도를 평가하기 어렵고, 시료의 수량이 총 18개로서 많지 않았다는 점에서 전체 방염제품의 연소가스 독성의 잠재적인 위험성을 추정할 수는 있지만 대표성을 갖기에는 문제점이 있다는 한계성을 벗어날 수 없었다. 따라서 향후 후속 연구에서는 보다 많은 방염제품들을 대상으로 무작위 선정을 통한 연구 설계 및 실험 연구가 수행된다면 보다 객관적이고 대표성을 지닌 연구결과를 도출할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
