Abstract

The aim of this study was to measure the opening force of an access door of a pressurized smoke control zone and verify the reliability of the opening force. For the access door opening force, the opening load of the access door was measured before and after pressurized air had entered the smoke control zone. The reliability of the measured values was verified using the Anderson Darling's statistical analysis method of the Minitab Program. Because the analyzed P values were greater than 0.05 except for some floors before and after the operation of the smoke control equipment, the opening force was found to have 95% reliability. The normal distribution of the measured values showed no relationship with the operation of the smoke control equipment and the precision of the force gauge was believed to be reliable. The major factors for the optimal design of the pressurized smoke control equipment include the precision and reliability of the force gauge, the correct posture of the measuring person, and the same conditions for access doors. Therefore, a digital force gauge is believed to be suitable for measuring the opening force of the access door of a pressurized smoke control zone. In addition, standardization of the posture of a measuring person, the setup of the initial opening force of an access door, etc., are major variables for effective measurements of the door opening force of an access door.

본 연구는 디지털 측정기(Digital Force Gauge)를 이용해 급기가압 제연구역 출입문의 개방력을 측정하여 신뢰성을 검증하는데 있다. 개방력은 제연구역에 급기가압 기류가 들어가기 전과 후의 개방 부하를 측정하였다. 측정값은 미니탭 프로그램(Minitab PGM)의 AD(Anderson Darling) 통계분석법으로 신뢰도를 검증하였다. 분석된 P값은 제연설비의 작동 전과 후의 일부 층을 제외하고는 0.05 이상을 나타낸 것으로 보아 95% 신뢰도가 있는 것으로 해석된다. 측정값의 정규분포는 제연설비의 작동 여부와 관계가 없었으며, 계측기의 정밀도는 신뢰할 수 있는 것으로 분석된다. 그리고 급기가압 제연설비의 최적설계 조건은 계측기의 정밀도와 신뢰성, 측정자의 바른 자세, 출입문의 동일한 조건 등이 주요 인자로 판단된다. 따라서 급기가압 제연구역 출입문의 개방력의 측정은 디지털 측정기가 적합한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 효과적인 개방력의 측정은 측정자의 자세 표준화, 출입문의 초기 개방력의 설정 등이 주요 변수로 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
