Abstract

Fire doors are installed on the openings in buildings to protect fire spreading in the event of fire. In foreign countries, fire doors whose fire resistance performance is from 20 minutes to 180 minutes are installed depending on required fire resistance performance of where fire doors are installed. But, in Korea, it is difficult to protect fire spreading in the event of fire because fire doors only having integrity of 1 hour are installed regardless of the position of fire doors. Therefore, it is needed to improve the system related to fire doors by strengthening the required fire resistance performance depending on where fire doors are installed and introducing insulation performance. To do so, the performance verification of the existing fire doors must be done first. In this study, fire resistance performance of the steel fire doors which are used widely depending on core material was evaluated. As a result, most specimens had the integrity performance and secured insulation performance of around 10 minutes depending on core material.
