Abstract

In Korea, industrial complexes for manufacturing and producing various products have been established in the region. Owing to their rapid development and ease of management, most industrial complexes are composed of steel-structured buildings, and only few buildings are reinforced concrete structures. Steel-structure buildings are generally known to have relatively low fire resistance depending on their material characteristics, which necessitates additional fire resistance reinforcement procedures to ensure structural safety. In this study, we experimentally evaluated the behavioral characteristics according to the exposure temperature of intumescent paint, which is a fire-resistant reinforcement material applied in various steel structures (including industrial complexes), to use it as a database for the diagnostic evaluation of fire-damaged steel structures.
