Abstract

Modular construction method is based on pre-fabricated unit module in a factory and assembling of the unit module in a construction site. The main advantage of the modular system is that the construction time can be reduced by small weather impact on scheduling, the relatively easy availability of machines and services in a well-structured factory environment, and so on. This study is to evaluate the fireproof performance for a modular block consisted of columns, slabs, and walls. To conduct this study, It was used the large scale calorie meter (10MW) in Korea Institute of Construction Technology, which is proper to the full scale fire test, and conducted the full scale fire test by causing the fire with the standard woods. The fire load was the fixed fire load and the loading fire load (ave. 50 kg/m 2). The total applied load was 417 κN considering the dead load (279.7 κN) and the live load (136.9 kN) for a medical modular building of four stories.
