Abstract

Due to the complexity and large size of buildings, plastic resin is widely used as a building material. Accordingly, the occurrence of fires caused by plastics is increasing. Due to the nature of plastic resin fires, the amount of damage to properties and human life caused by combustion products such as smoke are large, and these damages are related to smoke production and smoke generation. Therefore, this study reviews smoke measurement methods and laws on domestic buildings and fire services. Experiments were conducted based on three smoke-related test standards (ISO 5660-1, ISO 12136, ASTM E 662). The experiment results indicate a total smoke production and generation by PP, PVC, and PMMA of 43.27, 32.83, and 12.33 ㎡, and 27.855, 9.599, and 6.975 g, respectively.

건축물의 복잡화, 대형화로 인해 합성수지를 건축 재료로써 많이 활용되고 있다. 이에 따라 합성수지가 원인이 되는 화재의 발생이 증가하고 있다. 합성수지 화재의 특성으로는 연기 등 연소생성물로 인한 인명 및 재산피해가 크다는 점이고, 이는 연기생성과 발생과 관계된다. 이에 본 연구는 국내 건축 및 소방관계법령과 연기측정방법에 대해 검토하고, 연기관련 3가지 시험기준(ISO 5660-1, ISO 12136, ASTM E 662)을 바탕으로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험에 대한 결과로 연기생성 관련 데이터에서는 PP 43.27 ㎡, PVC 32.83 ㎡, PMMA 12.33 ㎡ 순으로 나타났고, 연기발생 관련 데이터에서는 PVC 27.855 g, PP 9.599 g, PMMA 6.975 g 순으로 나타났다.
