Abstract

EIFS system has the merit of low construction cost and shortening of construction period by easy-to-construct. For such reasons as mentioned above, it has been using across the board such as residential building, school, officetel, building remodeling and so on. It, however, has a drawback of generating plenty of combustible gases from styrofoam which is main material of it. In this regard, measures to prevent losses of life from combustible gases are needed urgently as fires on residential buildings applied EIFS caused human casualties resulted from combustible gases. With respect to the above, this study will analyze the risk of fires on residential facilities, such as multi-family apartment houses, schools and other buildings, applied EIFS which is the most frequently used as material of exterior wall and suggest countermeasure of it.

외단열시스템(EIFS)은 단열효과가 뛰어나고 시공비가 저렴하며, 또한 시공성이 용이하여 공기(工期)를 단축할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이와 같은 이유로 외장재용 건축자재로서 서민들의 주거인 다세대 공동주택, 교육기관인 학교건물과 오피스텔 등의 신축 및 리모델링 등에 폭넓게 시공되고 있다. 그러나 스티로폼을 사용하는 재료의 특성상 화재발생 시 다량의 가연성 가스가 발생하는 특성이 있다. 최근 주택에서 발생하는 화재에서 가연성 가스와 관련된 인명피해가 빈번히 발생하고 있어 이에 대한 대책 마련이 시급히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서민의 주거시설인 다세대 공동주택과 학교 교육기관 외벽의 소재로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 외단열시스템 화재의 위험성을 분석하여 그 대책을 제안하고자 한다.
