Tunnel fires have significant social and economic impacts, causing extensive damage to concrete and steel reinforcements at high temperatures. Despite international advancements in fire-resistant designs, the safety measures for tunnel fires in South Korea remain insufficient. This study aimed to evaluate the fire resistance of fiber-reinforced concrete incorporating fire-resistant fibers with a focus on preventing spalling and enhancing structural safety. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of fire-resistant tunnel-design standards. Concrete mixtures with compressive strengths of 27 MPa were prepared according to highway construction material standards. Fiberreinforced concrete samples were produced with fire-resistant fiber dosages of 0.0, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 kg per cubic meter. Fresh concrete tests, including air content (KS F 2421) and slump (KS F 2402) tests, were conducted along with compressive strength tests (KS F 2405) on the hardened concrete. The fire resistance was assessed using an electric furnace to simulate the fire curve conditions specified in the Road Tunnel Fire Safety Guidelines based on KS F 2257. Increasing the fiber content led to a slight reduction in slump, likely owing to fiber agglomeration, with minimal effect on workability within the tested range. The air content exhibited negligible variation, indicating that there was no major impact on the air-void system. The compressive strength before the fire resistance test fluctuated but consistently met the design target of 27 MPa. The compressive strength after the fire resistance test across all samples decreased to approximately 2.0 MPa. The fiber-reinforced concrete exhibited reduced internal temperatures compared to the control, which was attributed to heat transfer disruption and the formation of micropores by the fibers. In this study, fiber-reinforced concrete demonstrated improved thermal resistance under fire conditions with minimal impact on the workability and air content within the tested range. Although the compressive strength before the fire resistance test remained adequate, the sharp decline in the post-fire strength highlights the need for further optimization. These findings emphasize the potential of fiber-reinforced concrete as a cost-effective solution for enhancing tunnel fire resistance, thereby supporting the development of safer and more resilient infrastructures.

현재 적용되고 있는 평가체계는 1996년 개정되어 이후 4차례 개정을 실시하였으나, 구조적 안전성의 확보 목표에 국한된 평가체계로 인해 장기적 관점의 성능저하 예측 및 예산투입을 위한 우선순위 의사결정의 근거로 활용하기에는 부족하다. 따라서 , 본 연구에서는 델파 이 기법과 AHP기법을 활용하여 기존 도로터널의 여러 구조형식 중 재래식(ASSM) 터널의 성능평가에 적합한 평가체계를 새롭게 제시하고자 한다. 국·내외의 기존 평가체계 및 평가항목을 검토한 결과, 도출가능한 평가항목이 한정적인 것으로 판단되어 기존에 적용되고 있는 항목에 대한 폐쇄적인 설문과 새로운 항목 도출을 위한 개방형 설문을 병행하여 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사한 설문결과를 내용타당도 검증을 거쳐 재래식(ASSM)터널에 적합한 성능평가인자를 도출하였으며, AHP기법을 활용하여 도출된 평가항목에 대한 가중치를 산정한 후 구조물의 특성에 맞는 성능평가 체계를 새롭게 제시하여, 향후 성능평가 세부지침 수정 및 보완 시 참고자료로 활용될 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport(MOLIT) publishes Yearbook of Road Bridge and Tunnel Statistics once every year. Also, Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology(KICT) is operating the website based on GIS to provide the status information of bridges and tunnels on the road. In this paper introduces road Bridge and Tunnel Information(BTI) system that offers the base data for the effective maintenance of bridges and tunnels on the road.

To the present, technology of tunnel has developed more significantly than before. Due to the difficulty in assessment of long-term durability, it is more important to persistently maintain the tunnel to save the budget efficiently since its completion. Some aspects of the focused management section were written for some of the road tunnels which was recently inspected by KISTEC according to the special law for safety management of Infrastructure.
