Abstract

To improve the reliability of a safety assessment using a fire simulation in domestic PBD, the evaluation method of ASET considering the uncertainties of the input parameters and numerical model of fire simulation was carried out. To this end, a cinema and officetel were selected as the representative fire spaces. The main results were as follows. Considering the uncertainty of the heat release rate, which has the greatest effect on the major physical quantities presented in the life safety standard, significant changes in temperature, CO, and visibility occurred. In addition, when the bias factors reflecting the uncertainty of the numerical model were applied, there were no significant changes in temperature and CO concentration. On the other hand, the visibility was increased considerably due to the low prediction performance of smoke concentration in FDS. Finally, the reason why the physical quantity determining the ASET in domestic PBD is mainly visibility was discussed, and the application of uncertainty of the input parameters and numerical model in a fire simulation was suggested for an accurate ASET evaluation.

국내 PBD에서 화재시뮬레이션을 이용한 안전성 평가의 신뢰성을 개선시키기 위하여, 화재시뮬레이션의 입력변수 및 수치모델의 불확실도가 고려된 ASET의 평가방법에 대한 검토가 수행되었다. 이를 위해 영화관 및 오피스텔이 검토 대상으로 선정되었다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 인명안전기준에 제시된 주요 물리량에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 열발생률의 불확실도를 고려할 때, 온도, CO 및 가시도의 상당한 변화가 발생됨을 확인하였다. 또한 수치모델의 불확실도를 반영한 편향인자를 고려할 때, 온도 및 CO는 큰 변화가 없으나 FDS의 낮은 연기농도 예측성능으로 인하여 가시도는 크게 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 국내 PBD에서 ASET이 대부분 가시도에 의해 결정되는 원인이 논의되었으며, 정확한 ASET 평가를 위해 화재시뮬레이션의 입력변수 및 수치모델의 불확실도 적용 방안이 제안되었다.
