Abstract

Buildings in Korea have been getting higher recently and been being changed environmentally since the Korean fire standard was released in 1968. It should be established to make a appropriate correspondence of fire fighting against the those environmental changes. Most of all, fire water capacity which is basis of fire fighting service is a very significant factor. In this paper, the Korean fire water capacity and fire water duration were compared with China, Japan and the United states. Furthermore, fire water capacity, fire water duration, flow rate were compared by hazard classification, occupant use, number of floor and area with water based fire suppression system. This study has been surveyed to show what are difference, similarity, advantage and disadvantage on fire water capacity in the Korean standard comparing with neighboring countries like China, Japan as well as the United states. This study could be found what level the Korean fire water capacity is. So it suggests about more developed standard on fire water capacity with the result of analysis and comparison.

1968년 우리나라 소방법이 제정된 이래 최근에는 건축물이 초고층화 및 초심도 등 환경적으로 급변하고 있다. 이러한 환경적 변화에 따른 소방력의 적절한 대응은 반드시 이루어져야 한다. 그 중에서 소화수원은 소방력의 근원이 되는 매우 중요한 인자이다. 이에 중국, 일본, 미국의 소방법을 통하여 우리나라의 소화수원공급 시간 및 소화수원을 비교하였으며 각 수계소화시스템에 대해 건축물 용도, 면적, 층수 그리고 위험 급별로 소화수 유량(flow rate), 소화수 공급시간, 소화수원량 등을 비교하였다. 본 연구는 중국, 일본, 미국 주변국가의 소화수원 산정 기준을 비교하여 우리나라의 소화수원 기준이 이 국가들과 비교해 다른 점과 유사한 점은 무엇이며 장, 단점에 대해 조사했다. 주변 국가들을 통해 우리나라의 소화수원 기준이 국제적으로 어떤 위치에 있는지 확인할 수 있었으며 이를 통해 보다 발전된 소화수원 기준에 대한 발전적 제안을 한다.
