High strength concrete has a structural advantage as well as superior usability and durability, so that its application in building is being steadily augmented. However, in the high temperature like in a fire, the high strength concrete has extreme danger named explosive spalling. It is known that the major cause of explosive spalling is water vapour pressure inside concrete. General solution for preventing concrete from spalling include applying fire protection coats to concrete in order to control the rising temperature of members in case of fire. The purpose of this study is to investigate the high temperature properties of fireproof mortar using organic fiber and various types of fine aggregate for fire protection covering material. The results showed that addition of perlite and polypropylene fiber to mortar modifies its pore structure and reduces its density. This causes the internal temperature to rise. As a results, it is found that a new fireproof mortar can be used in the fire protection covering material in high strength concrete.

Precast concrete is an effective method to increase the construction quality and construction speed by optimizing and making the manufacturing conditions similar. In order to more effectively produce a fireproof material-integrated precast duct slab, the purpose of this study was to determine whether the fire resistance performance of the fireproof layer is maintained when a method of increasing the curing rate using a hardening accelerator is used. As a result of performing a fire resistance performance test on specimens classified according to whether or not the hardening accelerator was included, increase of temperature inside the specimen was high in the specimens using the hardening accelerator, and the section loss of the fireproof layer occurred locally on the surface exposed to fire heating. In conclusion, it is judged that the fireproof layer in the case where the strength at 3th day of age is gained within 1 day curing age using a hardening accelerator does not guarantee sufficient fire resistance performance in the conditions used in this study.

The glass ceramic secondary resource containing Li-Al-Si is used in inductor, fireproof glass, and transparent cookware and accounts for 14% of the total consumption of Li, which is the second most widely used after Li-ion batteries. Therefore, new Li resources should be explored when the demand for Li is exploding, and extensive research on Li recovery is needed. Herein, we recovered Li from fireproof Li-Al-Si glass ceramic, which is a new secondary resource containing Li. The fireproof glass among all Li-Al-Si glass ceramics was used as raw material that contained 1.5% Li, 9.4% Al, and 28.9% Si. The process for recovering Li from the fireproof glass was divided into two parts: (1) calcium salt roasting and (2) water leaching. In calcium salt roasting, a sample of fireproof glass was crushed and ground below 325 mesh. The leaching efficiency was compared based on the presence or absence of heat treatment of the fireproof glass. Moreover, the leaching rates based on the input ratios of calcium salt, Li-Al-Si glass, and ceramics and the leaching process based on calcium salt roasting temperatures were compared. In water leaching, the leaching and recovery rates of Li based on different temperatures, times, solid-liquid ratios, and number of continuous leaching stages were compared. The results revealed that fireproof glass ceramics containing Li-Al-Si should be heat treated to change phase to beta-type spodumene. CaCO₃ salt should be added at a ratio of 6:1 with glass ceramics containing Li-Al-Si, and then leached 4 times or more to achieve a recovery efficiency of Li over 98% from a solution containing 200 mg/L of Li.

The buildings constructed with steel structure is coated with certified fire resistive material to resist from fire. Coating materials lose their initial performances as time passes, so they need some maintenance. This study is covers standardization of the methods for assessing the durability of SFRM. In Korea, more than 90 percent of SFRM are used indoors. So This study is to decide proper test method through investigation and examination of effect factor to performance of fire-resistant structure and applicable test method.

Concrete has a lower thermal conductivity or thermal diffusion coefficient compared to other building materials, so it is widely used as fireproof compartment material or refractory material for structures. However, in the event of thermal damage such as fire, cement curing agents and aggregates act differently, resulting in heat generation or deterioration of tissue due to dehydration, resulting in deterioration of physical properties and fire resistance. Therefore, in this study, the processing structure of cement paste is measured through nitrogen absorption method. The test specimen is a cement paste of 40% W/C and is set at 1000 ℃ under heating temperature conditions. As the temperature rose, the micro-pore mass below was reduced based on about 0.01 감소m, but the air gap above that was increased.Thus, in the range of pores measured in nitrogen adsorption, the air mass tended to decrease under high temperature conditions.

This dissertation is research on the fireproof characteristic of molded transformer and the extinguishable characteristics of the NAF S-III. As the research method, a theoretical examination has been made for the combustion process of epoxy resin, which was the main material of molded transformer, and extinguishing process of NAF S-III, which has recently been used in the clean extinguishable chemicals. Furthermore, for its proof, the experiments on combustion and extin-guishment on molded transformer has been performed. By installing the actual molded transformer in and artificial the horizontal heating furnace which has similar conditions with the electrical substation, and after subsequently ignited, the extinguishing process has been observed by classifying it into the natural extinguishment of the ignited transformer, and extinguishable chemical in NAF S-III has been injected. The volume of injected extinguishable chemical was the economical amount which was equipped with the extinguishable capability on the molded transformer under combustion, and it was calculated with the Announcement of the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs as the basis. With the injection of the calculated extinguishable chemicals, the ignited transformer has completely extinguished within one minute.

This study is part of the research on fire-resistant materials to prepare for changing fire behavior, oyster shell and egg shell, which are natural calcium carbonate materials, were substituted as fine aggregates. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the strength and fire resistance performance according to the substitution rate, and to provide data for use as fire resistance material. Oyster shells and egg shells were substituted with 10~50 % of the fine aggregate, respectively, and tested for strength and Simplified heating according to the KS test method. Although the strength of OS was measured to be higher than that of ES, the backside temperature was also measured to be higher. As a result, it is recommended to use fireproof boards with OS where strength performance is required, such as explosive fires, Where high fire resistance performance is required, such as high-temperature fires over 1000 ℃, fireproof boards with ES can be selected according to the application.

In order to solve the problems of low strength and brittle fracture of conventional concretes, ordinary cement was used as the main material of concrete binder, and porous glass beads processed from waste glass were used as aggregates to provide lightweight and fireproof insulation, and functional organic binding additives (including polymers) were added to improve concrete strength. Additional binding agents, such as silanes, were used to produce concrete-type lightweight materials with a specific gravity lower than water. The resulting materials thus manufactured have solved the problems of low work-ability and brittle fracture of conventional (ceramic) concretes, and exhibited excellent mechanical and thermal properties, with good fireproofing properties and low thermal conductivity at high temperatures. In addition, it can be molded into a certain space like conventional concrete, processed into bricks or thin boards in molds, or applied like paints, so it is believed that it can be applied to various structural materials.
