This paper presents an approach for evaluating performance of prestressed concrete (PC) bridge girders exposed to fire. A finite element based numerical model for tracing the response of fire exposed T girders is developed in ANSYS. The analysis is carried out in three stages, namely, fire temperature calculation, cross sectional temperature evaluation, and then strength, deformation and effective prestress analysis on girders exposed to elevated temperatures. The applicability of the computer program in tracing the response of PC bridge girders from the initial preloading stage to failure stage, due to combined effects of fire and structure loading, is demonstrated through a case study, and validated by test data of a scaled PC box girder under ISO834 fire condition. Results from the case study show that fire severity has a significant influence on the fire resistance of PC T girders and hydrocarbon fire is most dangerous for the girder. The prestress loss caused by elevated temperature is about 10% under hydrocarbon fire till the girder failure, which can lead to the increase in deflection of the PC girder. The rate of deflection failure criterion is suggested to determine the failure of PC T girder under fire.

This study is about development of inorganic insulation material using by-product materials. The organic material is due to toxic gas emission, when a fire occurs. And it has lower water resistance. The inorganic material is heavy and worse thermal performance than organic materials. In this study, installed light weight ceramic insulation by concrete structure to evaluation fire resistance.

Structure Insulated Panel (SIP) is an wooden structure material with which structure and insulation functions are satisfied. Hence, it would be a cost-effective model to implement low energy house which has higher insulation and structure performance and which the wall thickness is able to be reduced. In this study, performance of thermal insulation and fire resistance were evaluated in order to verify applicability to low energy house. Fire resistance test is performed on vertical load bearing members for partitions, and the test results satisfy one hour of fire resistance condition according to KS F 2257. The members include two layers of fireproof gypsum board with thicknesses of 12.5mm attached to SIP. Thermal insulation performance is satisfied with the 2012 standard ($0.225W/m^2{\cdot}K$). As the performance of resistance and thermal insulation are satisfied, SIP is expected to be applied to low energy building materials. In the future, the structural safety will be confirmed by structural performance and seismic performance test and the guidelines for distribution will be drawn up.

Fire-fighters have been struggling against heat and dense smoke caused by fire when it occurs especially at the basement or the inner place of a building. An indoor fire-fighting robot with well heat-resistance, great searching cameras and good extinguishing ability has been recently developed. It never suffocate, coming into the fire district and extinguishes fire directly. In this study, several experiment was conducted to promote field working ability of the fire-fighting robot. As a result, heat resistance, water discharge and field working appeared satisfactory.

내화도료는 화재 시 발포를 통해 단열 성능을 향상시켜 철골 구조의 열전달을 저감하기 위해 사용되고 있는데, 만일 표준규격을 만족시키지 못하는 내화도료가 사용된다면 철골 구조의 내화 성능에 문제가 발생할 우려가 있다. 내화도료의 내화 성능은 육안으로는 평가가 어려워 현장을 대상으로 하는 간편하면서도 정확한 평가방법의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 X-선 분석법(XRF, XRD)을 이용한 내화도료의 화재안전성 평가 방법에 대한 기초연구를 수행하였다. X-선 분석법을 적용한 결과 실제 화재시험을 통한 내화 성능에 따라 특정 성분이 검출되는 것을 확인하였다. X-선 형광분석(XRF)을 통해 인(P)과 염소(Cl) 원소 성분이 일반도료에 비해 내화도료에 훨씬 많이 함유되어 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. X-선 회절분석(XRD)을 통해 내화도료의 주된 결정성 물질로 확인된 폴리인산 암모늄(ammonium polyphosphate)이 일반도료에는 포함되어 있지 않는 것으로 나타났다. X-선 분석법은 휴대용 XRF와 XRD 분석 장비를 통해 머지않아 현장평가방법으로의 적용이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

This paper deals with the development of an approach for evaluating the squash load and rigidity of unprotected concrete filled steel columns at elevated temperatures. The current approach of evaluating these properties is reviewed. It is shown that with a non-uniform temperature distribution, over the composite cross-section, the calculations for the squash load and rigidity are tedious in the current method. A simplified approach is proposed to evaluate the temperature distribution, squash load, and rigidity of composite columns. This approach is based on the model in Eurocode 4 and can conveniently be used to calculate the resistance to axial compression of a concrete filled steel column for any fire resistance time. The accuracy of the proposed approach is assessed by comparing the predicted strengths against the results of fire tests on concrete filled circular and square steel columns. The applicability of the proposed approach to a design situation is illustrated through a numerical example.

This study investigates the fire resistance characteristics of reactive powder concrete according to changes in the cement content per unit area, mixing ratio of metakaolin (MK), and content of polypropylene fiber. A fire test was conducted, and the resulting residual strength characteristics were investigated through flexural and compressive strength measurements, as well as condition rating classification based on visual evaluation. MK effectively reduced the initial high content of calcium hydroxide, thereby reducing the water vapor pressure generated during pyrolysis and slowing spalling. Furthermore, the pore structure and loose tissue were effective for relieving the water vapor pressure in the event of a fire.

SLIM AU(A plus U-shaped) composite beam was developed for reducing the story height in the residential buildings, and saving the cosrtuction cost of floor structures. Structural performance and economic feasibility of the composite beam have been sufficiently approved through the structural experiments and the analytical studies. However, the verification for fire safety is necessary for the practical application of the composite beam. The fire resistance tests with and without loading were performed for the fire safety verification, and the test results were summarized in this paper.

Building destruction can be occurred by decreasing of structural stability and deformation according to fire. Especially, a structural behavior of beam can be shown a slightly difference by beam types. In this paper, an evaluation of the structural stability of beam made of ordinary structural steel designed by fixed and simple boundary condition was done by an analytic method using mechanical properties of SS 400 and an heat transfer theory.
