A variety of research projects have been undertaken due to the recent catastrophic tunnel fires throughout the world, Among them, more emphasis was given to full scale and scale model fire experiments, and recently the area of fire resistance of tunnel structures attract more interests, On the contrary to the cases in most of the advanced countries where design standards as well as recommendations have already been announced, no local criteria for design can be found, This paper aims at deriving the fire characteristics appropriate for the assessment criteria of fire resistance of structures in local tunnels through studying the existing fire temperature curves including ISO 834 standard temperature curve, HC curve, RWS curve, ZTV curve and EBA curve.

This study evaluated fire resistance performance for polypropylene/steel fiber reinforced high strength concrete column. Full-size columns were constructed and tested with or without fibers using ISO-834 fire curve. As the result of test, non-fiber high strength concrete column specimen occurred serious spalling and indicated rapidly internal temperature increase. Specimen with polypropylene fiber occurred not spalling. Specimen with hybrid fiber occurred not spalling as well as does not propagated temperature propagation. Therefore, hybrid fiber reinforced column specimen indicated a good fire resistance performance than other cases.

This study evaluated fire resistance performance for hybrid (polypropylene+steel) fiber reinforced high strength concrete column. Full-size columns were constructed and tested with or without fibers using ISO-834 fire curve. As the result of test, Control specimen occurred serious spalling and indicated rapidly internal temperature increasing. Specimen with polypropylene fiber occurred not spalling but steady internal temperature increasing. Specimen with hybrid fiber occurred not spalling as well as does not propagated temperature distribution. Therefore, hybrid fiber reinforced column specimen indicated a good fire resistance performance than other cases.

In event of a tunnel fire, all kinds of equipment can be destroyed in high temperature that can exceed $1300^{\circ}C$, fatal structural demage can be caused by spalling of concrete structural elements. To make matters worse, there is a high possibility of the secondary damage which can lead to the collapse of the shear resisting structure. Accordingly, it is time that we developed the technology to counter fires in connection with the fire-resistant design of a tunnel structure. To secure the reliability of the fire-resistance performance of a tunnel structure, it is necessary to assess the fire's behavior on every structural element exposed to the fire as well as to calculate the tunnel fire intensity and the quantity of heat released. In this study, we drew out the fire damage range of each structural element of a tunnel and the minimum thickness of concrete cover for each fire-resistant material through some actual experiments of fire behavior on the structural elements of a tunnel.

In this paper, Fire resistance test was carried out in accordance with the change of the insulation conditions on the exposed side and unexposed side of the coaming to obtain optimal insulation conditions for class H-120 insulation in connection with specimen-1 of the preceding paper for the evaluation of fireproof performance for fire dampers according to hydrocarbon fire conditions. As a test result, specimen-2(88 mm, $171^{\circ}C$) was satisfied class H-120 insulation, but specimen-3(76 mm, $181^{\circ}C$) was exceeded thermal insulation acceptance criteria at 110 minutes, therefor, specimen-2(88 mm) is optimal insulation conditions as possible lightweight than specimen-1. Test result comparison, we concluded that temperature rising of the coaming insulation surface was influenced by conductive heat from the bulkhead, and coaming surface was influenced by radiant heat from blade & coaming.

This paper is an experimental study of the chemical resistance of mortar which contains silica sand particles. The possible use of silica sand particles in the future as an admixture for improving chemical resistance of mortar is examined in mortar model experiments. The possibility of using mortar model its prediction models for the chemical resistance of concrete is examined. The results obtained are as follows. Since the experimental results from the chemical resistance tests based on the kinds and the amount of replaced admixture are similar to those from the concrete. mortar model could be used as a prediction model of chemical resistance of concrete.

지하대공간은 특수한 가연물 및 높은 밀도의 화재하중을 지닌 가연물이 많으나, 국내 내화성능기준은 이를 고려하지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 슬래브실험체를 제작하여 표준가열곡선(ISO834)과 지하대공간의 화재하중을 고려한 화재조건으로 내화실험과 수치해석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 모든 실험체에서 0.96~1.03로 10%내의 오차범위에 있는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In this study, finite element analysis was carried out through the finite element analysis program (ANSYS) to investigate the fire resistance of composite columns in fire. Transient heat transfer analysis and static structural analysis were performed according to ASTM E 119 heating curve and axial force ratio 0.7, 0.6, 0.5 by applying stress-strain curves according to temperature, and loading heating experiments were carried out under the same conditions. In addition, the nominal compressive strength of the composite column according to the heating time according to the standard(Eurocode 4) was calculated and expressed as the axial force ratio and compared with the analytical and experimental values. Through the analysis, As a result of finite element analysis, the fire resistance time was 180 minutes and similar value to the experimental value was obtained, whereas the fire resistance time 150 minutes and 60 minutes were derived from the axial force ratios 0.6 and 0.7. In addition, it was confirmed that the fire resistance time according to the axial force ratio calculated according to the reference equation (Eurocode 4) was lower than the actual experimental value. However, it was confirmed that the standard(Eurocode 4) was higher than the experimental value at the axial force ratio of 0.7. Accordingly, it is possible to confirm the fire resistance characteristics(time-axial force ratio relationship) of the SRC column at high axial force, and to use the experimental and anaylsis data of the SRC column as the data for verification based on Eurocode.

At construction sites, interest in the production of precast materials is increasing due to off-site conditions due to changes in construction site conditions due to increased labor costs and the Act on the Punishment of Serious Accidents. In particular, the precast prestressed hollow slab has a hollow shape in the cross section, so structural performance is secured by reducing weight and controlling deflection through stranded wires. With the application of structural standards, the urgency of securing fire resistance performance is emerging. In this study, a fire-resistance cross section was developed by reducing the concrete filling rate in the cross section and improving the upper and lower flange shapes by optimizing the hollow shape in the cross section of the slab to have the same or better structural performance and economic efficiency compared to the existing hollow slab. The PC hollow slab to which this was applied was subjected to a two-hour fire resistance test using the cross-sectional thickness as a variable, and as a result of the test, fire resistance performance (load bearing capacity, heat shielding property, flame retardance property) was secured. Based on the experimental results, it is determined that fire resistance modeling can be established through numerical analysis simulation, and prediction of fire resistance analysis is possible according to the change of the cross-sectional shape in the future.

This paper presents the experimental results on the fire performance of high strength concrete(HSC) column made with different tie spacing. Three HSC columns measuring 305${\times}$305mm in cross section were prepared to evaluate the effect of tie spacing with 150, 210, 300mm, respectively. Compressive strength was 69MPa at test. As a result, the fire performance of HSC columns was greatly influenced by tie spacing. The fire resistance increases with decreasing the tie spacing.
