Recently, the higher buildings are, the stronger concrete are used. Ultra high strength concrete have the possibility of spalling when a fire breaks out. so the fire-resistance performance is necessary to use the ultra high strength concrete on the high-rise building. On this study, the heating test for the concrete with loading/unloading is performed for ultra high strength concrete using nylon fiber. The heating test followed by ISO-834 heating curve on the real-size specimen and the strength of concrete are 60, 80, 100, 200 MPa.

Concrete is inherently a good fire-resistance material among all other constrcution materials and protects the reinforcing steel inside. This study investigates the material characteristics of concrete and steel bar inside the full scale reinforced concrete(RC) beam exposed to fire test. The fire test specimen was 4 m long and the test was conducted under no loading condition following KS F 2257. Fire source is simulated by ISO 834 and number of thermocouples were installed to measure temperature variation of surfaces and inside of the beam. The measured compressive strength of cored specimen, which was exposed to fire test, was 11 MPa, about 66% lower than the strength before exposure. The yielding strength of steel bar also decreased about 75 MPa, about 17% lower. The measured temperature of protected steel bar was around $649^{\circ}C$, the critical limit, after 4 hour exposure.

The heat resistance of steel materials tends to weaken due to its high heat transfer properties, which might result in deteriorated strength because of rapidly rising temperature on surface in a fire. Particularly in case of CFT column that bears tensile stress of the structure on its external steel members, a numerical analysis on deterioration of strength and variation of stress shall be first carried out to ensure the structure will have sufficient fire resistance. In the study, based on values obtained from the high temperature material property test of steel materials and concrete, the test to forecast the fire behavior of CFT column was conducted using a finite element analysis method (ABAQUS). An Analysis in a bid to predict the heat transfer and the behavior characteristics by varying the strength of the concrete filled to the range of 40MPA and 50MPA was carried out. As a result of analysis of CFT column on condition of 180-minute exposure under the standard fire condition, 123mm of strain appeared with 40MPA model, while 91mm contraction with 50MPA model.

This study evaluated spalling and internal temperature distribution after elevated temperatures test for high strength concrete ($f_{ck}=60\;MPa$) column member with various polypropylene fiber volume fractions. The ISO-834 time-temperature curve was used for measurement of fire resistance properties. As the result of test, average internal temperature results indicated to low temperature in increased polypropylene fiber volume fraction. But, the highest internal temperature results show that does not difference in proportion of polypropylene fiber volume fractions.

This study presents experimental investigation on the residual capacity of fire-damaged voided slabs according to loading conditions. In this study, two voided slab specimens were fabricated, and heated by ISO standard fire during 120 minutes with different loading conditions of presence of loading. These specimens were cooled down to room temperature, and the residual capacity of fire-damaged voided slabs was investigated. Based on test results, thermal distribution of voided slab through the depth of concrete sections is different by the loading conditions. The temperature of loaded specimen is rapidly elevated through the whole depth of concrete sections compared to the unloaded specimen. The residual strength of fire-damaged voided slab specimens are 60% and 66% of that of voided slab specimen without fire damage, and the residual stiffness of fire-damaged voided slab specimens decreases by 15%~23% of that of voided slab specimen without fire damage. In case of voided slab specimens subjected ISO standard fire, the loaded specimen shows the decrease of 10% in the residual strength and the decrease of 15% in the residual stiffness compared to the unloaded specimen. It seems to result from higher temperature of bottom reinforcements in the loaded specimen due to the cracks, and more extensive damage on concrete cover of reinforcements by spalling process according to load level.

In this study, experimental test and numerical analysis were conducted to investigate the heat transfer characteristics and fiber performance of high strength concrete. The fire characteristics of the high strength concrete that couldn't be obtained through the test due to specific requirements and restrictions were forecast using numerical analysis approach. The outcome from the numerical analysis and the test were compared to verify and improve the reliability of the analysis. A numerical analysis of 80 and 100 MPa high strength concrete cases were carried out to identify the heat transfer characteristics and fire behavior using software, ABACUS (V6.8) From the results of verification experiment, a 25~55% level of beam shrinkage reduction was observed compared to the concrete without Fiber-Cocktail, indicating the improved fire resistance performance, which appeared to be attributable to the function of Fiber-Cocktail that was able to control the heat transfer characteristics and ultimately result in enhancing the fire resistance performance.

Steel and concrete composite structures are commonly applied in multi-story buildings as they maximise the material strength through composite action. Despite the popularity of employing a trapezoidal deck slab, limited experimental data are available under elevated temperatures. The behaviour of the headed shear stud embedded in a transverse trapezoidal deck and solid slab was investigated at both ambient and fire conditions. Twelve push-out tests were conducted according to the ISO 834 standard fire utilising a customised electric furnace. A stud shearing failure was observed in the solid slab specimen, whereas the failure mode was changed from a concrete-dominated failure to the stud shearing in the transverse deck specimen with an increase in temperature. Comparisons between the experimental observations and design requirements are presented. The Eurocode design guidance on the transverse deck slab gives a highly conservative estimate for shear resistance. A new design formula was proposed to determine the capacity of the shear connection regardless of the slab type when the stud shearing occurs at high temperatures.

플랜트란 산업 기계, 전기 통신 기계등 여러 가지를 생산하는 공장을 의미하고 있다. 해양플랜트는 바다위에 설치된 시설이라고 볼 수 있으며 주로 원유 및 가스를 채취하여 시중에서 사용할 수 있도록 정유공정까지 거치는 대규모 설비라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 가연성 물질을 생산, 적재함으로 화재 및 폭발의 위험성이 상존하며 화재가 발생하면 인화성 물질로 인한 대규모 화재와 폭발로 인하여 인명과 재산피해의 규모 또한 가름하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 해양플랜트 화재시 화재와 폭발 두 가지 위험성 중 제트화재에 저항을 가지는 기자재를 평가할 수 있는 ISO 22899-1 시험방법과 설비에 대하여 설명하고자 한다.

내화구조는 건축물의 주요 구조부재에 대한 화재안전성을 평가하는 것으로, 국제적으로 내화시험 방법은 실제 건축물과 동일하게 부재에 하중을 가한 상태에서 내화시험을 하도록 ISO 등 국제규격에서는 제시하고 있다. 하지만 국내에서는 건축물의 기둥 및 보에 대하여는 대부분 비재하 시험으로 내화구조를 평가하고 있다. 이는 국제적인 성능평가 방법과도 차이가 있을 뿐만 아니라 실제 건축물 구조부재의 조건과도 차이가 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 내화구조 재하성능평가 기준 개선을 위하여, 국내외 내화성능평가기준에 대하여 고찰하고 이를 통하여 내화구조 인정제도 개선을 위한 기초연구자료를 제시하고자 한다.

The fire performance of RC slabs with half-depth precast panel after exposure to the ISO-834 fire standard without loading has been experimentally investigated. During heating, according to the ISO 834 fire curve, concrete spalling was observed for concrete without PP(polypropylene) fibers. No spalling occurred when heating concrete containing PP fibers. The maximum temperature of RC slabs with PP fibers with half-depth precast panel was lower than that of concrete without PP fibers. The ultimate load after cooling of the RC slabs that were not loaded during the furnace tests was evaluated by means of 3 points bending tests. The ultimate load of the RC slabs without PP fibers showed a considerable reduction (around 32.5%) of the ultimate load after cooling if compared with of RC slabs with PP fibers. The ultimate load of the RC slabs with half-depth precast panel with PP fibers is higher than that of a full-depth RC slabs with PP fibers. Also, the addition of PP fibers and the use of half-depth precast panel improve fire resistance.
