Abstract

This study investigated the evacuation characteristics of student of elementary school with single unit fireproof shutter. In particular, we gathered the data about fireproof shutter and checked the data. And we made comparison and did an analysis of the evacuation characteristics of elementary school student according to working of single unit fireproof shutter for fires. As a result, it took the last occupant 130 seconds to escape from the school with no fire shutter case. But it took time 190 seconds to escape when the single unit fireproof shutter worked. Some of elementary school students could not open the door installed on the shutter when the single unit fireproof shutter worked. Considering this circumstance, it can be led to time delays of escaping when the single unit fireproof shutter work. And many students can be exposed to the fire hazards. Therefore, the study on the power to open the door installed on the shutter must be done in the future.

본 연구는 일체형 방화셔터가 설치된 초등학교 학생의 피난특성에 관한 연구이다. 구체적인 방법으로 일체형 방화셔터를 포함한 방화셔터 전반에 대한 기초 자료를 수집 검토하였으며, 초등학교에 설치된 일체형 방화셔터 작동 유무에 따른 재실자 피난특성을 비교 분석하였다. 화재 모의실험 결과, 일체형 방화셔터 미작동시 최종 대피완료 시간은 130초이며, 일체형 방화셔터 작동 시에는 190초가 소요되었다. 그리고 일체형 방화셔터 작동 시 피난대피 상황에서 초등학생들이 셔터내의 출입문을 열지 못하는 상황이 발생되었다. 이러한 상황을 고려한다면 일체형 방화셔터 작동 시 최종피난 완료시간은 상당히 지연될 수 있고, 많은 학생들이 화재위험에 노출될 수 있다. 따라서 향후 일체형 방화셔터 출입문 개폐력에 대한 연구가 반드시 진행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
