As energy related problems continue to arise, Korea's thermal insulation market for the zero energy homes is also demanding major changes, but there are no realistic countermeasures. Also, interest in inorganic insulation is growing as damage from multifamily housing fire using flammable insulation materials is increasing. On the other hand, many studies have been conducted on lightweight foam concrete, which implies a sufficient possibility as an insulation material by generating a large amount of air bubbles. However, studies of existion bubble concrete are not quantified by the experimental difficulty of using bubbles when compared. Therefore, in this study, the change in strength due to air pressure using a bubble foam, one of the types of air bubbles for the development of light foam concrete.

This paper contains the tension-tension, the tension-tension bearing and the tension-tension steel bolt joint fatigue characteristics of glass fabric/phenol composite laminates. The experimental results show that the bearing and the steel bolt joint fatigue characteristics of the material is so excellent compared with the simple tension fatigue characteristics, that there are no needs of additional strengthening for mechanical joint parts when the parts are properly designed.

A fuel tank of a vehicle is an important part due to its flammable contents ant its importance during crash conditions. Therefore, the fuel tank's design should be assessed for durability and robustness to ensure safety during the early development phase. Previously, evaluation for the durability was done by testing in physical driving conditions which could only be done after the completion of the vehicle. Computation simulation is a more effective method to evaluate the strength and durability of the fuel tank during the early stage. In this paper, two outstanding computational simulation methods are studied. One evaluates PV cycle fatigue due to build up pressure in the fuel tank and the other evaluates the PSD vibration fatigue from modal characteristics. The results show that computational methods agree with physical tests and are thus suitable to analyze the strength and durability of the fuel tank at early development phase.

Glass/phenolic composite laminates have been used in the field of non-flammable light rail transit and their applications have expanded more widely. Low velocity impact tests have been used to evalute the effect of temperature and acceleration aging on low velocity impact response of phenolic matrix composites reinforced with woven E-glass fabric. The damage of matrix cracking and delamination are suddenly reduced the compressive strength after impact. The damage area increases with increasing temperature and impact energy. UT C-scan is used to determine damage areas by impact loading. Therefore, all this observations indicate reduced impact damage resistance and damage tolerance of the laminates at elevated temperature.

The flash point is generally used as a hazardous index of fire or explosion of a flammable liquid. In this study, the lower flash points and the upper flash points according to the composition of Toluene-o-Xylene and Toluene-Methyl Ethyl Ketone mixtures are determined by air-blowing method. As results, relations between the flash points and the compositions of mixtures ; (1) for Toluene-o-Xylene mixtures $T_{fL}$=25.23 $\alpha$ ＋5.34 $T_{fu}$=27.36 $\alpha$ ＋40.50 (2) for Toluene-Methyl Ethyl Keton mixtures $T_{fL}$=10.00 $\beta$-5.00 $T_{fu}$=16.91 $\beta$＋20.45.

Recently, a large amount of flammable or explosive materials have been handled or stored in chemical industries. H the equipments fail or the materials release in consequence of operation errors, fire and explosion could occur to them. Thus, risk assessment using quantification of risks is very important when design of processes and modifications of installed processes are performed. The purpose of this study is to develop the program for fire and explosion index in order to quantify the expected damage of fire and explosion incidents in chemical plants, to identify equipment that would be likely to contribute to the creation or escalation of an incident, to comunicate the potential fire and explosion risk to management and to account of damage cost.

Detonation phenomena of $C_2H_2$were invesgated using the various shock tube. To study the detonation characteristics according to the composition of $C_2H_2-0_2$$_2$ and $C_2H_2$-air mixtures, the composition were varied from 5 to 90% and 5 to 50% of acetylene each other. A spiral ring was installed in the shock tube to study the effect of obstacles in DDT phenomena. Detonation velocities were measured using the photodiode, and the DDT phenomena was visualized using the high speed schlieren photograph. From the experimental result, it was found that the detonation velocity was most high near the 1. 8times the stoichiometric ratio of acetylene. And from the visualization of DDT phenomena, it was found that the detonation wave was strengthened throuth the pile up of small compression wave of burned gas. And the obstacles in shock tube accelerate the detonation reaction by turblent effect of flammable gas mixture.

The static electricity by thinner flow and discharge energy is investigated experimentally for the purpose of preventing the electrostatic discharge and damage. Test system for evaluating streaming electrification consists of a teflon pipe, a reservoir tank a pump, flowmeters and an electrometer. When dielectric liquid flows through a pipe from one vessel to another, the potential difference generated in the collecting vessel is due to the accumulation of charges. These charges result from the convection of a part of the electrical double layer existing in the tube at the contact between the liquid and the inner wall. When the fluid velocity increases, the electric current increases proportionally. The charging current and accumulated charges by streaming electrification at the thinner velocity of 40cm/s are measured a range of 5 nA and $0.27{\mu}C$ respectively. This amount of static discharge energy generated by streaming electrification is enough to ignite flammable solvent. Therefore surface electric potential should decrease by using electrostatic shielding and ground.
