  • In this study, a numerical analysis was performed as part of an international joint research project to reproduce a real cable tray fire that occurred in the heater bay area of the turbine building of a nuclear power plant. A sensitivity analysis was performed on various input parameters to derive results consistent with the sprinkler activation time obtained from the fire event analysis. For all sensitive parameters, the normalized sprinkler activation time correlated well with the power function of the normalized sprinkler height. A correlation equation was developed to identify the sprinkler activation time at any location when determining the slope or fire growth rate under the conditions assuming a linear or t-squared heat release rate (HRR) time curve. Various cable fire growth assumptions were used to determine which assumption was better to provide the prediction coincident with the information given from the fire event analysis in terms of the sprinkler activation time and total energy generated from cables damaged by fire. In the comprehensive analysis of all the sensitive parameters, the standard deviation of the input parameters increased as the sprinkler height decreased. Within the range of the sensitivity parameter values given in this study, when considering all sprinkler heights, the standard deviation of the cable model change was the largest and that of the overhang position change was the smallest.

  • Fire research is urgently needed so as to mitigate fire damage with moderate costs. A system of fire research consisting of basic research, applied research and development of new technology for fire prevention and protection is being formed in China. A general structure of organizations related to fire research is outlined. Typical research work in the State Key Lab of Fire Science is given as an example of fire research in China including: Field-Zone-Network modeling of building fire, mechanism of boilover, forest fire behavior, computer modeling of fire spread in micsogravity, and duality of fire rules and its application.

  • In case of Korea, The Large-scale fire is consistently being such as 2015 Uijeongbu Fire, 2017 Jecheon Fire, 2018 Sejong Hospital Fire. Such a fire has a problem that the fire is spreading upper due to external flame spread. As a countermeasure the fire safety, the study about axial temperature prediction of external flame spread is consistently doing. But in korea, Vertical spandrel is specified as 40cm, and improvement is urgently needed. In this study, a repair material was selected to prevent the fire from spreading to a building where a flammable exterior material was installed and then pilot construction was carried out. Also, fire safety measures for buildings constructed with flammable exterior materials were examined.

  • Currently, there are no specific repair methods for RC structures damaged by fire, and repair methods are applied when durability deteriorates due to aging. In addition, a number of recent studies have been reported that have conducted fire resistance assessment of the repair materials themselves, assuming exposure to high-temperature environments such as fires. However, researches that evaluate the fire resistance performance of the repair materials by applying existing repair materials to the actual fire damaged reinforced concrete structures are very rare. Therefore, in this study, a number of existing repair materials were applied to fire-damaged concrete column to compare and evaluate the fire resistance performance with the original cover concrete.
