In case of fire spray protection sheath, fire resisting capacity is assessed for each material and installation method according to fire-resistive construction recognition. This study reviews effects of the percentage of water content that exist in fire spray protection sheath during the assess process of fire resisting capacity on fire resisting capacity, and changes of the percentage of water content according to temperature conditions. As a result of exams, as curing temperature is higher and thickness of specimen is thinner, decrease of the percentage of water content becomes significant.

To protect the steel structure in a high story buildings from fire, the sprayed fire-resistive materials are applied during the construction. Current standard methods to check the quality of sprayed fire-resistive materials are real fire test in lab, which take a long time (several weeks) and expensive. In this study, a simple analytical method to check the quality of sprayed fire-resistive materials is developed using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR). Total 9 kinds of sprayed fire-resisted materials and 3 kinds of normal sprayed material sets were used for the analysis. Each set of materials was 50 to 100 samples. Samples are grinded and make a fine powder. The spectral data acquisition was carried out using FT-NIR spectrometer with a integrating sphere. NIR methods successfully identify the sprayed fire resistive materials by a principle component analysis (PCA) after a vector normalization (SNV) pretreatment.

Sprayed fire resistive materials are mainly used at steel structures to satisfy fireproof construction standard. However, the regulations on bond strength have been not considered with the exception of structures in the nuclear power plants, although it is an important factor showing material properties. Therefore, this paper suggested guidelines for bond strength of sprayed fire resistive materials used in the substation, by measuring bond strength according to aging of structures and impact loading considering environment of substations. It is judged that the bond strength suggested in this paper is the minimum value because it was measured from specimens widely used.

As recent buildings are getting more high-rise and larger, steel structures, not a reinforced concrete structure, for columns and beams among the main structural members in a building are being widely used. Steels used for the main members of a building are constructed with a fire-resistive structure by applying them with fire-resistive coatings. The introduction of a simple test method that can verify the performance of fire-resistive material constructed on a site without conducting a fire-resistant test(real scale fire test) is needed and this study derived a site analysis method possible to make a rapid and scientific analysis through the analysis of components (instrumental analysis) concerning tire-resistive materials. the possibility of application of it in analyzing congruence over site construction materials by recognizing it as a standard material after securing an inherent fingerprint area of tire-resistive materials of which performance was verified in the concrete through thermal analysis was proved through experiments. This research result can be minimize of casualties, who is harmed to building collapse according to structures fire.

The buildings constructed with steel structure are coated with certified fire resistive material to resist from fire. All the building materials lose their initial performances as time passes by, so they need some maintenance. The Sprayed Fire Resistive Material (SFRM) also loses its performance and this performance loss of the SFRM is very important because fire resistance of buildings depends on SFRM. So this study was aimed to synthesis of alkali-silicates for SFRM and to evaluate the effect of alkali-silicates, K-silicates, Na-silicates and Li-silicates, by exchange of mole ratios as basic factors, tested solubility, intumescence ratios, thermal analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, fire-resistant and heat-resistant.

The buildings constructed with steel structure is coated with certified fire resistive material to resist from fire. Coating materials lose their initial performances as time passes, so they need some maintenance. This study is covers standardization of the methods for assessing the durability of SFRM. In Korea, more than 90 percent of SFRM are used indoors. So This study is to decide proper test method through investigation and examination of effect factor to performance of fire-resistant structure and applicable test method.

현장에서 내화피복재(내화뿜칠재)의 품질을 확인할 수 있는 간편한 품질방법이 부재하여 열 중량-적외선 분석 장치를 이용하여 내화피복재의 일치성 분석을 시도하였다. 국내의 9종 인정 내화뿜칠재에 대한 열 분해 곡선을 확인 하고, 이때 특정 성분을 측정하였다. 국내 시판 9종의 내화뿜칠재는 $400^{\circ}C$이내에서 무게변화가 15% 정도 감소하다가 $400^{\circ}C$부터 $1200^{\circ}C$까지 무게 변화가 거의 없이 유지되는 특성을 보였다. 이때 초기 열분석으로부터 발생되는 가스에 대한 적외선 스펙트럼의 분석결과로 O-H band 및 $CO_2$가 확인되었다. 하지만 내화성능이 없는 흡음뿜칠재의 경우에는 $400^{\circ}C$부터 $1200^{\circ}C$사이에 무게 중량이 급격하게 변화되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 열중량-적외선 분석 장치를 이용하여 두 재료의 열분해곡선 및 적외선스펙트럼 변화를 측정하였으며, 이 분해 곡선을 통계처리 방식인 PCA (Principal components analysis)통계처리를 통해서 내화뿜칠재의 진위 구분이 가능함을 확인하였다.

The objective of this study is to analyze the productivity, efficiency, and factors affecting the productivity of a spray task from an international airport project. The study is focused on the productivity analysis of the Subcontractor whose job was to supply and apply sprayed-applied fire-resistive material (SFRM) on steel members to achieve the necessary fire ratings on the building structures of the Hamad International Airport, Qatar. The study analyzed the productivity of the four sprayer teams who completed the task at three locations and three areas of the airport. The study found that the productivity of the individual team observed during the SFRM spray task was not only different but was also observed different when they worked at varying floor heights where different factors affecting productivity were predominant. The study found that the efficiency was lowest (47.32%) when the spray team had to work at second-floor heights and factors affecting productivity such as limited accessibility for material movement and lifting, site congestion, lack of continuity of operation due to priority areas and frequent re-handling of machines and tools were present. Besides, the factors such as adverse weather conditions and sub-trades interference affected productivity at all locations. The findings show that productivity depends on multiple factors and those factors need to be identified and addressed to improve productivity. The findings also show that the estimated efficiency was hard to achieve but possible since Team 4 had 97% efficiency on the first floor of the airport.

It is necessary to obtain a fire resistance certification in order to use SFRM in Korea. The fire resistance tests for certifications are performed separately for beams and columns and the certifications are different. We could assume that the same SFRM has different thicknesses for beams and columns because the conditions of the fire resistance tests for them differ in the section factors etc. But most of the SFRMs in Korea have the same thicknesses for beams and columns. So the question arises as to there were the differences between the fire test results for beams and columns reside. The purpose of this study is to consider the separate evaluation of the fire resistance of members through a comparative analysis of the temperature data obtained from fire certification tests.
