In this study, fire-retardant chemicals were melt with mixed composition ratios of dibasic ammonium phosphate and each half of boric acid and borax in hot water, in which hammer-milled chips were immersed to increase swelling of waste particleboards. Also, fire-retardant treated particles from sawn lumber chip and recycled particleboard chip were composed in ratio of 70:30 in core layer to improve boards' properties. Retention ratio of fire-retardant chemicals for the particles for face layer was high due to high specific surface area, and that of sawn lumber chips was somewhat higher than that of recycled particleboard chips. The mixture of particles from sawn lumber chips and recycled PB of 70:30 in weight ratio exceeded bending strength of 100 kgf/cm2. It seemed that the relatively greater portions of dibasic ammonium phosphate affected adversely to dimensional stability, however fire-retardants treatment resulted in distinct effect lowering formaldehyde emission such as E0 type (0.5mg/ℓ or less) in KS F 3104. In fire-retardancy, the recycled boards with a mixed ratio of dibasic ammonium phosphate to boric acid•borax (50:50 mixture) of 70% to 30% in weight satisfied fire-retardancy 3rd grade in KS F 2271, and also this composition from cone calorimeter test met same standard grade figuring total heat release of 4.6MJ/m2.

Fire protection for nuclear power plants should be designed according to the concept of “Defense in Depth” to achieve the reactor safety shutdown. This concept focuses on fire prevention, fire suppression and safe shutdown. Fire prevention is the first line of “Defense in Depth” and the licensee should establish administrative measures to minimize the potential for fire to occur. Administrative measures should include procedures to control handling and use of combustibles. Electrical cables is the major contributor of fire loads in nuclear power plants, therefore electrical cables should be fire retardant. Electrical cables installed in nuclear power plants should pass the flame test in IEEE-383 standard in accordance with NUREG-0800, “Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants”. To assure the fire retardant of electrical cables during design life, both aged and unaged cable specimens should be tested in accordance with IEEE-383. It can be generally thought that the flammability of electrical cables has been increased by wearing as time passed, however the results from fire retardant tests performed in U.S.A and Korea indicate the inconsistent tendency of aging and consequential decrease in flammability. In this study, it is expected that the effective methodology for validation of fire retardant performance would be identified through the review of the results from fire retardant tests.

This study investigates fire-retardant performances and combustion/thermal characteristics of fire-retardant treated wood by comparing them with those of fire-retardant untreated wood from the expreimental resutls of cone calorimeter and thermo-gravimetric(TG) analyzer. Hazardousness of combustion product gases for fire-retardant treated wood and untreasted wood were also observed from the results of internal finish material incombustibility test according to the Korea standard code of KS F 2271. In this study, we also tried to improve the fire retardant performance of wood by applying fire-retardant chemical composites, and to secure the fire safety performance in buildings. Red pine (Pinus densiflora) was selected as a test specimen because it is mostly used as a building material in Korea. Fire retardant chemical composites (FRCs) were prepared by mixing boron, phosphorous, and nitrogen species and treated by press-impregnation method. Water-based FRCs were composed of 3% boric acid($H_3BO_3$), 3% borax decahydrate($Na_2B_4O_7$), 8% ammonium carbonate($(NH_4)_2CO_3$), diammonium phosphate ($(NH_4)_2HPO_4$) varied from 10-30% and potassium carbonate($K_2CO_3$) varied from 10-30%. From the test results of cone calorimeter, TG analysis and gas hazard assessments, newly proposed were the optimal composition and production methods of FRCs which can sufficiently meet fire-retardant level 3 based on Korea law of construction. Thus, the FRCs, developed in this study, are anticipated to contribute to the improvement of fire safety and widespread of usage in wood as building materials.

Experimental Study on Fire Resistance Performance of Concrete-Filled Steel Plate Composite Walls

Ting Zhou,Xueshan Liu,Hongbo Liu,Yixuan Li,Pengfei Zhang,Huazhou Chen,Zhi-Hua Chen 한국강구조학회 2023 International Journal of Steel Structures Vol.23 No.2

Concrete-filled steel plate composite walls are increasingly used in high-rise buildings; their mechanical properties at room temperature have produced fruitful results. However, research on their mechanical properties in fire and at high temperatures is scarce. Moreover, published studies on the fire resistance of concrete-filled steel plate composite walls have not considered the impact of fire protection measures. Based on previous fire resistance research, a fire resistance test was designed in this study for four walls under the combined action of axial compression and a single-sided fire under the ISO-834 standard heating curve. Apart from that, the existing fire protections have the disadvantages of too thick, easy falling off and cracking or difficult to install. In order to eliminate the disadvantages of existing fire prevention measures, new composite fireproof structure using a rock wool board and a thin fire-retardant coating is proposed. The effects of no fireproof structures, autoclaved lightweight concrete plate fireproof structures, thick-coated fire-retardant structures, and new composite fireproof structures on the fire resistance of concrete-filled steel plate composite walls were studied experimentally. The results show that the fire resistance of the four test specimens meets the 3 h fire resistance limit of the primary load-bearing component in the specification. Based on the experimental results, reasonable fire protection methods are suggested for concrete-filled steel plate composite walls in actual projects, and an experimental basis is provided for further numerical simulation.

차정민,현성호,김인범,윤명오 한국화재소방학회 2011 한국화재소방학회논문지 Vol.25 No.6

In the study, test was carried out to compare the flame retardant performance for the specimen of MDF wood to which field flame retardant treatment (post processing flame retardant) is applied,which is coated with flame retardant film of 5 companies, locally distributed, and MDF wood (nontreated,flame retardant film non-coated) to which aqueous or oil-based fire-retardant paint is applied. As a result of combustion test of MDF wood which was coated with flame retardant film of 5 companies,2 products showed suitable values in 4 criteria, but other 3 products showed 10~40 % disqualification rate. In regard of characteristics of fire-retardant paint, oil-based fire-retardant paint is better than aqueous fire-retardant paint in flame retardant performance criteria, but MDF wood to which oilbase fire-retardant paint was applied was shown to have higher toxicity index grade than MDF wood to which aqueous fire-retardant paint was applied relatively. 본 연구에서는 현장방염처리(방염후처리)가 적용되고 있는 MDF 목재에 국내에서 유통되는 5개사 제품을 MDF 목재에 부착한 방염필름과 MDF 목재(무처리, 비방염필름)에 수성·유성 방염도료로 도포된 시편을 대상으로 현재 시중에서 사용되고 있는 방염처리 방법에 따라 방염성능을 비교하는 실험을 실시하였다. MDF 목재에 5개사의 방염필름을 부착하여 연소 시험한 결과 2개사 제품은 4가지 기준 내에 적합한값을 나타냈으나 나머지 3개사 제품은 10~40 %의 불합격률을 나타냈다. 방염도료의 특성별로는 유성방염도료가 수성방염도료보다 방염성능 기준 내에서는 더 우수한 것으로 나타났지만 유성방염도료를 도포한MDF 목재에서 수성방염도료를 도포한 MDF 목재에서 보다 독성지수의 위험등급은 상대적으로 더 높은위험도를 나타내었다.

X-선 분석법을 이용한 난연 EPS 샌드위치 패널의 화재성능평가 방법에 관한 연구

심지훈,조남욱 한국화재소방학회 2015 한국화재소방학회논문지 Vol.29 No.6

EPS sandwich panel contains flame retardants that slow down ignition during fires,reduce the amount of heat generated,and block the spread of combustion. However, if a sandwich panel does not satisfy standards for fire-retardant performance,it may increase damage to property and human life. It is difficult to test the fire-retardant performance of afinishing material with the naked eye, so it is necessary to develop convenient and fast evaluation methods that are convenientand fast. In this study, a fire safety evaluation method for EPS sandwich panel was analyzed using X-ray to detectspecific components related to the fire-retardant performance X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) indicated that suitablepanel products contained more aluminum in comparison to unsuitable products. Gibbsite was identified as the main crystallinematerial of flame retardant EPS through X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and was included in both suitable productsand unsuitable products, but there was a difference in crystalline structure. This study was verifies the possibility ofevaluating fire-retardant performance using ultimate analysis and crystal analysis through these X-ray methods. EPS 샌드위치 패널은 난연제의 첨가로 화재 시 발화를 늦춰주며 발열을 적게 발생시켜 연소의 확대를 막는다. 하지만 난연성능 기준에 미달하는 샌드위치 패널을 사용할 경우, 재산 및 인명 피해가 확대되는 사례가 발생할 수 있다. 마감재료의 난연성능은 육안으로는 확인이 어려워 간편하면서도 빠른 평가방법의 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 X-선 분석법(XRF, XRD)을 이용하여 EPS 샌드위치 패널의 화재안전평가 방법에 대해 분석하였다. X-선 분석법을 적용한 결과 화재시험을 통한 난연 성능에 따라 특정 성분이 검출되는 것을 확인하였다. X-선 형광분석(XRF)을 통해 알루미늄성분이 부적합제품에 비해 적합제품에 훨씬 많이 함유되어있는 것을 알 수 있었다. X-선 회절분석(XRD)을 통해난연 EPS의 주된 결정성 물질로 확인된 깁사이트(gibbsite)는 적합제품과 부적합제품에 공통으로 함유되어 있었지만 결정성에 있어 차이가 나는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 X-선 분석을 통한 원소분석과 결정분석으로 난연성능 평가 가능성을 확인하였다.

폐타이어 분말과 난연제가 혼입된 모르타르의 화재안전에 관한 연구

박정진,손기상 한국화재소방학회 2010 한국화재소방학회논문지 Vol.24 No.4

The purpose of this study is to determine how effectively waste tire recycled material mixed with flame retardant work in combating fire. As discovered in the previous study, waste tire mixed with cement mortar has more insulation capacity. However, this mortar is weak against fire. Therefore flame retardant, with a specific proportional mix, will be added to increase its fire prevention capacity. Tests will be made in accordance with ISO 5657 procedures for measuring fire ignition time, flame and shape variation of test pieces at the Building Material Test Institute. The test piece will be set up with horizontal levels having a constant radiation heat of 1~5 W/cm2. Temperature transfers and increases from the surface into the interior. Combustible gases result due to pyrolysis, and regular contact is maintained between the fire source and the center of the test piece for assessment purposes. Ignition has not been occurred without adding retardant meaning that there is almost no possibility of ignition of waste tire particle. This fact can be considered as fire load to appreciate a volume of combustion materials. Flame is not occurred due to heat-absorbing effect by adding non-organic series retardant into waste tire particle. Conclusions have been summarized as follows; 1) Combustion of building material can be decreased by adding retardant to waste tire-mixing mortar. But compressive strength and insulation capacity of the material should be measured later. 2) Firing prevention and ignition are main points of building fire. Reasonable fire engineering assessment of interior material should be made for establishing effective disaster prevention system. 본 연구는 자원의 재활용 측면에서 적용한 폐타이어 분말을 혼입한 모르타르에 난연제를 첨가하여 그난연특성을 알아보고자 한다. 폐타이어 분말의 혼입으로 단열성능 향상은 이미 검증이 되었으나, 단열성과결합력의 상반된 재료 특성으로 인해 화재에는 취약한 바. 이에 난연제를 첨가하여 인명안전에 만전을 기하고자 한다. 폐타이어 분말을 혼입한 모르타르의 난연제를 첨가하여 첨가 비율에 따른 그 특성을 알아보고자 한다. 화재 초기의 특성을 알 수 있는 재료의 가연성 여부를 실제 화재와 유사한 복사열에 의해 시험하고자 하였으며. 실험방법은 한국건자재 시험연구원에 의뢰하여 ISO 5657 절차에 의한 재료의 착화시간, 불꽃 발생여부, 시험체의 형태변화 등을 고찰하고자 한다. 폐타이어 분말이 혼입된 모르타르와 난연제(무기계)의 배합비율은 폐타이어 분말의 0%, 30%, 60%, 90% 비율로 수산화알루미늄을 첨가하며 조연제인 삼산화안티몬은 난연제의 10%를 첨가한다. 시험체를 수평설치하여 일정한 복사열(1~5W/cm2)을 시험체 상부표면에 노출시키면 열이 시험체 표면에서 내부로 전도되어 온도가 상승한다. 온도가 충분히 높다면 시험체는 열분해하면서 가연성가스를 발생시킨다. 이 때 점화원인 점화기구의 작은 불꽃은 시험체 중앙 위의 10mm 지점에 규칙적인 간격으로 접염하였을때의 재료의 지속적인 표면 착화특성(착화시간) 평가한다. 난연제 미첨가시에도 착화가 일어나지 않아 폐타이어분말이 혼입된 모르타르의 가연성은 적은 것으로 볼 수 있으며, 화재실내에 존재하는 가연물의 양을 평가하는 화재하중에 이를 반영할 수 있다. 폐타이어 분말에 무기계 난연제를 첨가함에 따라 흡열효과에 의해 불꽃은 발생하지 아니하고 폐타이어 분말입자의 분해속도도 지연되었음을 확인할 수 있다. 복사열로 인해 난연제인 수산화알루미늄이 열분해하여 모르타르내 수증기 분압이 증가하여, 폐타이어 분말의 불꽃이나 연소형태는 보이지 않았다.
