Fire resistance is very essential for all buildings to save peoples who live within buildings or use and to protect the properties when the buildings are covered with fire. The fire resistance were evaluated by loading or nonloading fire tests which are known very expensive and require lots of time. That causes the lacks of research activities and there are only small cases of fire resistance. The purposes of this paper are to analyze the temperature analysis for various structural elements such as columns and beams those are can be applied to buildings and to suggest the resonable fire protective thickness of concrete slab according to the required fire resistance time.

수환경으로 유출되는 유해화학물질은 독성을 가지고 직접 유출되거나 다양한 매체와 반응하여 화재 및 폭발 등의 사고가 발생한다. 실제로 낙동강 유역에서는 1991년 페놀 유출사고를 시작으로 2009년 구미공단 '1,4-다이옥산' 유출사고, 2014년 11월 경북 봉화군의 황산유출사고 등 크고 작은 사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며 작년 6월에는 대구와 부산의 수돗물에서 과불화화합물이 검출되기도 하였다. 이러한 대규모 사고를 방지하기 위해 신속한 오염물의 거동 예측이 가능한 추적모델이 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 수환경으로 유출된 유해화학물질의 추적을 위한 1차원 저장대 모형을 개발하였다. 일반적으로 저장대 모형은 복잡한 하천 구조를 하천의 주 흐름이 존재하는 본류대와 하천 흐름이 정체되는 저장대, 그리고 하상구조로 단순화 하여 나타낸다. 본류대에서는 하천흐름에 의한 이송 및 횡방향 유속차로 발생하는 전단류에 의한 확산이 일어나며, 저장대와의 물질교환으로 발생하는 저장효과와, 하상구조와의 흡착 및 탈착, 그리고 생물화학적 반응 및 휘발이 발생한다고 가정한다. 본류대와 저장대간의 질량교환은 난류유속변동과 농도차에 의해서만 발생한다고 가정하고 오염물질의 이송과 분산과정을 해석한다. 저장대에서는 이송 및 전단류에 의한 확산은 일어나지 않으며, 본류대와의 물질교환으로 발생하는 저장효과와 하상구조로의 흡착, 그리고 생물화학적 반응 및 휘발이 발생한다고 가정하며, 하상구조에서는 본류대 및 저장대와의 흡착 및 탈착만 발생한다고 가정한다. 저장대 모형의 해석을 위해서는 리치(Reach) 별로 본류대 분산계수($K_F$), 본류대 면적($A_F$), 저장대 면적($A_S$), 그리고 저장대 교환계수(${\alpha}$)의 네 가지 저장대 매개변수가 필요하며 본 연구에서 개발된 저장대 모형은 흡탈착, 생물화학적 반응 및 휘발 과정을 모두 고려하여 유해화학물질의 확산 거동을 모의한다. 최적의 리치길이, 흡탈착, 반응 및 휘발 계수를 산정하여 모형의 정확도를 향상시켰으며, 신속하고 정확하게 오염물의 거동을 예측할 수 있었다.

The numerical analyses for three different shafts in geometry of high buildings were carried out by using computational fluid dynamics model (FDS ver.5.3) for the calculation of the pressure difference and the location of the neutral plane and the visualization of stack effect. At 10 seconds of stack effect, the pressure difference of stack effect in the elevator shaft (79.3 Pa) almost corresponded to the theoretical value (78 Pa). At 300 seconds of stack effect, all the neutral planes of three cases were located about 49 m above floor, where was 5 m higher than the theoretical value. The maximum pressure difference between upper and lower position of shaft decreased with increasing of the geometrical complexity of shaft. This study showed that there was the difference of the stack effects among the geometries of shafts with the visualization of stack effect.

This study examined the reduction effect of a hydrodynamic force acting on the vertical wall of a portable water storage tank with a convex bottom floor. For the numerical simulation, the linearized Peregrine's equation was used to analyze the lapping waves in the tank caused by water falling from a supplying nozzle. The hydrodynamic force could be calculated by measuring the maximum run-up wave height at the vertical wall. The initial conditions of the numerical experiments were set up by controlling the positions and heights of the water supplying nozzle. Finally, the hydrodynamic force acting on the vertical wall can be reduced by the convex bottom design of the portable water storage tank so it can be applied to improve the structural stability.

To carry out this study efficiently, the material, physical and mechanical properties of the existing high temperature area was identified and the thermal transportation of structural elements was carried out through the finite element analysis method(ABAQUS) for 40 to 100 MPa high strength concrete based on Fiber Cocktail mixing. The results are as follows. First, it was analyzed that 40, 50 and 60 MPa high strength concretes have a thermal transportation properties similar to the analysis model of 30 MPa normal concrete. Second, it was analyzed that the analysis model of 80 and 100 MPa high strength concrete have slightly lower thermal transportation properties compared to normal model. Third, this study didn't consider the explosive spalling by the pore pressure within high strength concrete. If the properties for the pore pressure within high strength concrete is considered and database by strength and by inner temperature of various high strength concrete and steel materials are established in the future, it is interpreted that the technical foundation will be laid for performance-based design of fire-resistant construction.

This paper is studied on a protective control system for electrical fire used electrical characteristics of SCR and multilayer-type PTC thermistor. The PTC thermistor has characteristic or positive resistivity temperature coefficient according to the temperature variation, which is construction of a regular square and cube demarcation with $BaTiO_{3_}$Ceramics of positive temperature coefficient. Also PTC shows the phenomenon which is rapidly increased in the resistivity if the temperature is increased over Curie temperature point. This paper is proposed on a protective control system used multilayer-type PTC which is protected from electrical fire due to electric short circuit faults or overload faults. Some experimental results of the proposed apparatus is confirmed to the validity of the analytical results.

With the recent increase in old and dangerous buildings, the demand for technology in the field of structure demolition is rapidly increasing. In particular, in the case of structures with severe deformation of damage, there is a risk of deterioration in stability and disaster due to changes in the load distribution characteristics in the structure, so rapid structure demolition technology that can be efficiently dismantled in a short period of time is drawing attention. However, structural deformation such as unauthorized extension or illegal remodeling occurs frequently in many old structures, which is not reflected in structural information such as building drawings, and acts as an obstacle in the demolition design process. In this study, as an effective way to overcome the discrepancy between the structural information of old structures and the actual structure, access to actual structures through 3D modeling was considered. 3D point cloud data inside and outside the building were obtained through LiDAR and drone photography for buildings scheduled to be blasting demolition, and precision matching between the two spatial data groups was performed using an open-source based spatial information construction system. The 3D structure model was completed by importing point cloud data matched with 3D modeling software to create structural drawings for each layer and forming each member along the structure slab, pillar, beam, and ceiling boundary. In addition, the modeling technique proposed in this study was verified by comparing it with the actual measurement value for selected structure member.

The aim of this study is to evaluate fire-induced damage for shield tunnel linings. Full-scale fire test was conducted to evaluate fire-induced damage. Residual compressive strength was measured on the core samples of shield tunnel lining subjected to high temperatures. Heating temperature was predicted by XRD and TG analysis. As a result, Strength degradation of concrete with temperatures can be evaluated by residual compressive strength of core samples. In addition, residual compressive strength can be estimated by previous studies if heating temperature is exactly predicted. It is possible that heating temperature is predicted by XRD and TG analysis at $450^{\circ}C$. For more accurate prediction of heating temperature it should be performed both instrumental analysis and analytical methods with temperatures ranging from $400{\sim}600^{\circ}C$.

In this study, fire and egress simulation was conducted for the egress safety evaluation of the nursing hospitals. A fire simulation was performed with or without the smoke exhaust system using the FDS, and the available safe egress time (ASET) of the nursing hospitals was calculated. In addition, an egress simulation considering the characteristics of occupants and egress delay time was performed using Pathfinder, and the required safe egress time (RSET) was calculated. By comparing the ASET and RSET, the egress safety of the nursing hospital with or without a smoke exhaust system was evaluated according to the number of egress guides and the egress delay time. The simulation results show that the number of casualties increased as the egress delay time increased, and the required safe egress time decreased as the number of egress guides increased. In addition, it was found that if a smoke exhaust system with the capacity specified in the KFPA is secured, the available safe egress time can be greatly increased and the number of casualties can be greatly reduced.

In offshore structures, fire is one of the most important hazardous events. The concern of fires has recently been reflected in the rules and quantified risk assessment based design practice. Within the framework of quantified risk assessment and the management of offshore installations, therefore, more refined computations of the consequences or hazardous action effects due to fire are required. To mitigate fire risk, passive fire protection(PFP) is widely used on offshore structures. This study presents methods for a nonlinear structural response analysis considering the PFP effects under fires. It is found that a structural response analysis is most likely to use valuable technology for the optimization and design of offshore structures with PFP. Thermal and structural response analyses have been performed using LS-DYNA and FAHTS/USFOS. The results of these structural response analyses are compared with each other.
