최근들어 1km이상의 장대터널건설이 급증하는 추세이고 이로 인해 터널내 화재가 발생하면 터널내부는 외부와의 통로가 한정되고 고립된 공간이므로 화재로부터 발생되는 연기와 열로 대형인명사고가 발생 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 그러므로 고속도로 터널의 경우, 터널화재에 대비한 방재시스템을 구축하고 있지만 터널의 장대화, 화물운송차량의 대형화, 운반물류의 다양화에 따라 가연물의 규모, 터널내 기류등 다양화된 제반조건을 세부적으로 고려한 화염확산 형태 및 연기유동 메카니즘에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고속도로 터널 실물화재실험을 수행하여 화재발생시 터널내부의 온도분포, 풍속, 연기거동 특성을 분석하였다.

Cost-effective solutions provided by composite construction are gaining popularity which, in turn, promotes the appearance on the market of new types of composite sections that allow not only to take advantage of the synergy of steel and concrete working together at room temperature, but also to improve their behaviour at high temperatures. When combined with high performance materials, significant load-bearing capacities can be achieved even with reduced cross-sectional dimensions. Steel-reinforced concrete-filled steel tubular (SR-CFST) columns are one of these innovative composite sections, where an open steel profile is embedded into a CFST section. Besides the renowned benefits of these typologies at room temperature, the fire protection offered by the surrounding concrete to the inner steel profile, gives them an enhanced fire performance which delays its loss of mechanical capacity in a fire scenario. The experimental evidence on the fire behaviour of SR-CFST columns is still scarce, particularly when combined with high performance materials. However, it is being much needed for the development of specific design provisions that consider the use of the inner steel profile in CFST columns. In this work, a new experimental program on the thermo-mechanical behaviour of SR-CFST columns is presented to extend the available experimental database. Ten SR-CFST stub columns, with circular and square geometries, combining high strength steel and concrete were tested. It was seen that the circular specimens reached higher failure times than the square columns, with the failure time increasing both when high strength steel was used at the embedded steel profile and high strength concrete was used as infill. Finally, different proposals for the reduction coefficients of high performance materials were assessed in the prediction of the cross-sectional fire resistance of the SR-CFST columns.

Fire incident in buildings is common, so the fire safety design of the framed structure is imperative, especially for the unprotected or partly protected bare steel frames. However, software for structural fire analysis is not widely available. As a result, the performance-based structural fire design is urged on the basis of using user-friendly and conventional nonlinear computer analysis programs so that engineers do not need to acquire new structural analysis software for structural fire analysis and design. The tool is desired to have the capacity of simulating the different fire scenarios and associated detrimental effects efficiently, which includes second-order P-D and P-d effects and material yielding. Also the nonlinear behaviour of large-scale structure becomes complicated when under fire, and thus its simulation relies on an efficient and effective numerical analysis to cope with intricate nonlinear effects due to fire. To this end, the present fire study utilizes a second-order elastic/plastic analysis software NIDA to predict structural behaviour of bare steel framed structures at elevated temperatures. This fire study considers thermal expansion and material degradation due to heating. Degradation of material strength with increasing temperature is included by a set of temperature-stress-strain curves according to BS5950 Part 8 mainly, which implicitly allows for creep deformation. This finite element stiffness formulation of beam-column elements is derived from the fifth-order PEP element which facilitates the computer modeling by one member per element. The Newton-Raphson method is used in the nonlinear solution procedure in order to trace the nonlinear equilibrium path at specified elevated temperatures. Several numerical and experimental verifications of framed structures are presented and compared against solutions in literature. The proposed method permits engineers to adopt the performance-based structural fire analysis and design using typical second-order nonlinear structural analysis software.

The main purpose of this study is to establish the reliable method for evaluating fire damage of reinforced concrete building, by using the rational procedure, and to develope the rehabilitation methods of fire damaged concrete structures. Especially, this proposed evaluation method is applied to the fire damaged concrete buildings of domestic, and the rehabilitation methods on the basis of these applied results are proposed and those example are shown. The proposed rational evaluation method for fire damaged concrete building proceeds is estimating the reduction of the mechanical properties of concrete of fire damaged structural members in comparison with the experimental results which are obtained from the compression tests of heated concrete specimens under various temperatures.

This paper presents a comparison of results obtained by a newly developed numerical model for predicting the behaviour of structures under fire with experimental study carried out on heated and simply supported steel beam elements. A newly developed numerical model consists of three submodels: 3D beam model designed for calculating the inner forces in the structure, 2D model designed for calculation of stress and strain distribution over the cross section, including the section stiffness, and 3D transient nonlinear heat transfer model that is capable of calculating the temperature distribution along the structure, and the distribution over the cross section as well. Predictions of the calculated temperatures and vertical deflections obtained by the numerical model are compared with the results of the inhouse experiment in which steel beam element under load was heated for 90 minutes.

This paper presents an effective, reliable and accurate method for prediction of structural behaviour of steel frames at elevated temperature. The refined plastic hinge method, which has been used successfully in the second-order elasto-plastic analysis of steel frames at ambient conditions, is adopted here to allow for time-independent fire effects. In contrast to the existing rigorous finite element programs, the present method uses the advanced analysis technique that provides a simple and reliable means for practical study of the behaviour of steel frames at elevated temperature by a limiting stress model. The present method is validated against other test and numerical results.

본 논문에서는 환기구의 존재, 환기구 설치 대수, 환기구 용량, 복수 화원의 존재가 도로터널에서 발생한 차량 화재에 의한 연기 온도 분포에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 6개의 시나리오를 가정하였으며 FDS를 이용하여 시나리오 해석을 실시하였다. 해석 결과 환기구의 설치 대수가 증가함에 따라 연기의 온도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났지만, 환기구의 설치 대수가 2대인 경우와 3대인 경우에 온도 감소 효과는 거의 같은 것으로 나타났다. 환기구의 설치 용량은 환기구의 설치 대수 보다 연기 온도 감소에 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 해석되었다. 환기구가 없는 시나리오 No. 1과 복수 화원을 갖는 시나리오 No. 6를 제외한 나머지 시나리오에 대해서 해석한 결과 화원 상부에서의 연기 온도는 모두 $400^{\circ}C$ 이하로 나타났는데, 이는 화원 상부 연기층에서 발생하는 복사에 의해 화원 주변 가연물의 착화가 어렵다는 것을 나타낸다.

The results of diagnostics and analysis of an industrial hall located on the premises of a thermal power plant severely damaged by fire are presented in the paper. The comprehensive failure-related diagnostics, non-destructive and destructive tests of steel and concrete materials, geodetic surveying of selected structural members, numerical modelling, static analysis and reliability assessment were focused on two basic goals: The determination of the current technical condition of the load bearing structure and the assessment of its post fire resistance as well as assessing the degree of damage and subsequent design of reconstruction measures and arrangements which would enable the safe and reliable use of the building. The current mechanical properties of the steel material obtained from the tests and measured geometric characteristics of the structural members with imperfections were employed in finite element models to study the post-fire behaviour of the structure. In order to compare the behaviour of the numerically modelled steel roof truss, subjected to the effects of fire, with the real post-fire response of the damaged structure theoretically obtained resistance, critical temperature and the time at which the structure no longer meets the required reliability criteria under its given loading are compared with real values. A very good agreement between the simulated results and real characteristics of the structure after the fire was observed.

This study is intended to suggest some ideal measures available in the course of construction from the viewpoint of an architect to reduce damage of human lives and Properties caused by fire accidents in buildings. For this study, 7 buildings burnt by conflaguration in Seoul during the years of 1985 and 1987 are picked up, and 105 withnesses, who were present in one of them at them at fire, are traced for personal interview and respones to the written questionaire about 5 main issues; their perceptional behaviour, their emotional state at that time, their reactions to avoid danger, their escape routes, and their usual awareness to prevent fire. Some desirable measures suggested here are ;making Provisions to install fire centers in large buildings and underground structures in the fire fighting law, and requlating to compose fire units appropriate to the quantity of combustibles inside, limit the length of a blind corridor, furnish balustrade, and limit the width of the landing of the stairs in building code and regulations. Such measures should be considered from the time of planning to construct a building, and some drill and education in fire prevention is demanded for the occupants of the buildings too.
