초록

승선생활관은 거주밀도가 높으며 유동인구도 특정한 시간에 몰리는 특징을 가지기 때문에 화재와 같은 재난이 발생할 경우 큰 인명피해 발생으로 이어질 수 있다. 이에 이 연구에서는 국내 K대학의 신축 승선생활관을 대상으로 화재 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 FDS를 사용하여 화재발생 시의 위험성을 예측하고 이에 따른 문제점을 분석하여 개선방안을 제시하였다. 연구결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 승선생활관 다림질실에서 화재발생 시, 발화 후 65초에 연기감지기가 작동하고, 13초 뒤인 78초에 스프링클러가 작동하기 시작한다. 온도 및 일산화탄소 농도는 각각 241초, 248초에 허용기준 값에 도달하지만, 발화 후 66초에 허용 가시거리 값에 도달하기 때문에, 화재발생 후 적어도 1분 이내에 준비를 끝내고 피난을 개시해야 인명피해가 발생하지 않을 것으로 예측된다. 이 기숙사의 화재위험성 예측 결과를 종합해 보았을 때, 인명안전에 가장 위험한 요소를 가시거리 값으로 판단할 수 있다. 가시거리 확보를 위해 제연설비를 설치할 경우, 제연설비 설치 후 승선생활관 복도의 연기확산이 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

As a college dormitory has the features of high dwelling density and a floating population that becomes crowded during particular times, when a disaster such as a fire occurs, it has the risk of causing much loss of life. In this study, the fire simulation program Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), is used to predict the risk when a fire occurs, to analyze the problem, and to suggest an improvement plan for a new cadet dormitory at an university in Korea. The research results are as follows. When a fire occurred in the ironing room inside the cadet dormitory, a smoke detector operated after 65 seconds. Thirteen seconds later, a sprinkler started to operate. The temperature and carbon monoxide density reached the limit value at 241 and 248 seconds, respectively. Because the limit visibility value was reached within 66 seconds after the occurrence of a fire, it is predicted that preparation must be finished and evacuation should begin within 1 minute after the fire occurs, in order to have no casualties. Synthesizing this dormitory fire risk prediction result, the visibility value is considered to be the most dangerous factor for personal safety. Because of this, installing a smoke extraction system is suggested to secure visibility. After the installation of a smoke extraction system, the problem of smoke diffusion in the corridors improved.
