A safety evaluation of cable tunnel, which is a concrete box structure with telecommunication facilities in it, exposed to fire is given. The immediate field observation was performed to find out any sign of sudden structural failure. In some region, where the fire intensity was heavy, the spalling of concrete cover in upper slab occurred. Next, more careful investigation was done with proper non-desturctive testing methods and structural analysis taking into account the changes in material properties due to fire. It seems that there is no severe damage on concrete, reinforcements and over all structural system.

In this study, a new modeling framework for predicting temperature and structural behaviors of structures under fire condition is proposed. The proposed modeling framework including fire simulation, heat transfer and structural analysis is applied to simulate fire tests performed on the steel-concrete composite structures in Cardington, UK, for model validations. Good predictions are shown for spatial-temporal temperatures and deflections of fire-damaged steel-concrete structures.

SLIM AU(A plus U-shaped) composite beam had been developed for not only reducing the story height in residential and commercial building, but also saving the cost of floor construction. The structural performance and economic feasibility was sufficiently approved by means of structural experiments and analytical studies. Even though fire resistance of the SLIM AU composite beam was evaluated throughout furnace fire test, the fire performance of the composite beam using finite element analysis is not analysed yet. Therefore the predictions of fire resistance simulations with loading as well as temperature distribution of the composite beam are summarized in this paper.

In offshore structures, fire is one of the most important hazardous events. The concern of fires has recently been reflected in the rules and quantified risk assessment based design practice. Within the framework of quantified risk assessment and the management of offshore installations, therefore, more refined computations of the consequences or hazardous action effects due to fire are required. To mitigate fire risk, passive fire protection(PFP) is widely used on offshore structures. This study presents methods for a nonlinear structural response analysis considering the PFP effects under fires. It is found that a structural response analysis is most likely to use valuable technology for the optimization and design of offshore structures with PFP. Thermal and structural response analyses have been performed using LS-DYNA and FAHTS/USFOS. The results of these structural response analyses are compared with each other.

연구목적: 본 연구는 화재위험도가 높은 플랜트 시설물에 적용하고 있는 국내 내화성능을 분석하고 적합한 내화저항성능을 확보하여 플랜트 시설물의 화재 안전성을 확보하고자 한다. 연구방법:유한요소해석 프로그램인 Ansys를 활용하여 화재하중과 내화피복을 변수로 열전달 해석과 구조해석을 수행하고 해석 결과에 따른 플랜트 시설물의 내화성능을 분석하였다. 연구결과: 국내 플랜트 시설물에 적용된 내화피복은 UL 1709에 제시된 탄화수소화재의 화재하중을 적용하였을 때 내화성능을 확보하지 못하였으며 화재 후 강재의 변형 또한 크게 나타남을 확인하였다. 결론:현재 플랜트 시설물에 적용된 국내의 내화성능은 석유화학 플랜트 등과 같이 급격한 화재성장과 큰 화재하중에서 내화성능을 확보할 수 없으며 플랜트 시설물의 성능평가를 통해 적합한 내화성능을 평가하여 화재 안전성을 확보하여야 한다.

In the present study the behavior of fire and the residual strength of fire-ignited RC slabs are investigated by experimental tests and numerical simulations. The fire tests of RC slabs were carried out in a furnace using the ISO 834 standard fire. The load capacity of the cooled RC slabs that were not loaded during the fire tests was evaluated by additional 3 point bending tests. The influence of the proportion of PP (polypropylene) fibers in the RC slabs on the structural behavior of the RC slabs after the fire loading was investigated. The results of the fire tests showed that the maximum temperature of concrete with PP fiber was lower than that of concrete without PP fiber. As the concrete was heated, the ultimate compressive strength decreased and the ultimate strain increased. The load-deflection relations of RC slabs after fire loading were compared by using existing stress-strain-temperature models. The comparison between the numerical analysis and the experimental tests showed that some numerical analyses were reliable and therefore, can be applied to evaluate the ultimate load of RC slabs after fire loading. The ultimate load capacity after cooling down the RC slabs without PP fiber showed a considerable reduction from that of the RC slabs with PP fiber.

구조용 강재는 고온 시 물질 내부의 구성 물질의 결합력 약화로 인하여 내력과 변형이 추가적으로 발생됨으로써, 구조적 성능이 저하되고, 국부 및 연속적 붕괴로 이어질 수 있다. 따라서 강재로 구성된 구조부재는 화재 시 열영향부를 최소화하기 위한 수단이 강구되는 내화설계가 요구된다. 건축용 내화강재(FR 490)는 용접 구조용 강재(SM 490)와 상온시 특성은 동일하나, 고온 시의 내력유지 성능이 우수한 강종으로써 이로 구성된 보부재의 고온 시 내력 평가 자료는 거의 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 FR 490강재로 구성된 보부재의 고온 시 거동을 고온 시 재료 특성과 이론적 방법을 통하여 해석적으로 평가하고, 이를 SM 490강재보와 비교함으로써 내화성능을 확인하고자 하였으며, 그 결과 FR 490강재보의 경우 SM 490강재보에 비해서 고온 시 내력유지 성능이 우수하였다.

The objective of this study is to formulate a general 3D material-structural analysis framework for the thermomechanical behavior of steel-concrete structures in a fire environment. The proposed analysis framework consists of three sequential modeling parts: fire dynamics simulation, heat transfer analysis, and a thermomechanical stress analysis of the structure. The first modeling part consists of applying the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) where coupled CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) with thermodynamics are combined to realistically model the fire progression within the steel-concrete structure. The goal is to generate the spatial-temporal (ST) solution variables (temperature, heat flux) on the surfaces of the structure. The FDS-ST solutions are generated in a discrete form. Continuous FDS-ST approximations are then developed to represent the temperature or heat-flux at any given time or point within the structure. An extensive numerical study is carried out to examine the best ST approximation functions that strike a balance between accuracy and simplicity. The second modeling part consists of a finite-element (FE) transient heat analysis of the structure using the continuous FDS-ST surface variables as prescribed thermal boundary conditions. The third modeling part is a thermomechanical FE structural analysis using both nonlinear material and geometry. The temperature history from the second modeling part is used at all nodal points. The ABAQUS (2003) FE code is used with external user subroutines for the second and third simulation parts in order to describe the specific heat temperature nonlinear dependency that drastically affects the transient thermal solution especially for concrete materials. User subroutines are also developed to apply the continuous FDS-ST surface nodal boundary conditions in the transient heat FE analysis. The proposed modeling framework is applied to predict the temperature and deflection of the well-documented third Cardington fire test.

In this paper, a methodology to simulate the whole-building behaviour of the tall building under fire is developed by the author using a 3-D nonlinear finite element method. The mechanical and thermal material nonlinearities of the structural members, such as the structural steel members, concrete slabs and reinforcing bars were included in the model. In order to closely simulate the real condition under the conventional fire incident, in the simulation, the fire temperature was applied on level 9, 10 and 11. Then, a numerical investigation on the whole-building response of the building in fire was made. The temperature distribution of the floor slabs, steel beams and columns were predicted. In addition, the behaviours of the structural members under fire such as beam force, column force and deflections were also investigated.
