For a floor of a building with no less than four stories and no more than twelve stories, the two-hour fire resistance performance should be satisfied. In the case of slabs with steel studs, no two-hour fire resistance performance has been proposed in Korea. In this study, the two-hour fire resistance performance of slabs with steel studs performing as structural elements of modular buildings was evaluated. These specimens were redesigned based on the typical slab used in Europe and North America by modifying the 45 mm fire-resistant board to achieve two-hour fire resistance. The experimental results showed that the FR-001 specimens with 140 mm mineral wool applied to the lower slab and the FR-002 specimens containing 100 mm lower-slab glass wool and 150 mm upper-slab mineral wool did not satisfy the two-hour fire resistance performance, owing to the rapid deformation of the specimens after 75 and 110 min, respectively. However, the FR-003 specimens containing 100 mm glass wool, 150 mm mineral wool in the upper slab, and concrete in the slab satisfied the two-hour fire resistance performance requirement.
