Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the effective smoke control flow rate and mode for securing safety through quantitative risk assessment according to the smoke control flow rate and mode (supply or exhaust) of the platform when a train fire occurs at the subway platform. To this end, a fire outbreak scenario was created using a side platform with a central staircase as a model and fire analysis was performed for each scenario to compare and analyze fire propagation characteristics and ASET, evacuation analysis was performed to predict the number of deaths. In addition, a fire accident rate (F)/number of deaths (N) diagram (F/N diagram) was prepared for each scenario to compare and evaluate the risk according to the smoke control flow rate and mode. In the ASET analysis of harmful factors, carbon monoxide, temperature, and visible distance determined by performance-oriented design methods and standards for firefighting facilities, the effect of visible distance is the largest, In the case where the delay in entering the platform of the fire train was not taken into account, the ASET was analyzed to be about 800 seconds when the air flow rate was 4 × 833 m3/min. The estimated number of deaths varies greatly depending on the location of the vehicle of fire train, In the case of a fire occurring in a vehicle adjacent to the stairs, it is shown that the increase is up to three times that of the vehicle in the lead. In addition, when the smoke control flow rate increases, the number of fatalities decreases, and the reduction rate of the air supply method rather than the exhaust method increases. When the supply flow rate is 4 × 833 m3/min, the expected number of deaths is reduced to 13% compared to the case where ventilation is not performed. As a result of the risk assessment, it is found that the current social risk assessment criteria are satisfied when smoke control is performed, and the number of deaths is the flow rate 4 × 833 m3/min when smoke control is performed at 29.9 people in 10,000 year, It was analyzed that it decreased to 4.36 people.

본 연구에서는 지하철 승강장에서 열차화재가 발생하는 경우, 승강장 제연풍량 및 제연모드(급기 또는 배기)에 따른 정량적 위험도 평가를 통해 안전확보에 효과적인 제연풍량 및 모드를 제시함을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 중앙계단을 갖는 상대식 승강장을 모델로 하여 화재발생 시나리오를 작성하였으며, 시나리오별 화재해석을 수행하여 연기전파특성과 ASET을 비교·분석하고 대피해석을 수행하여 사망자수를 예측하였다. 또한, 시나리오별로 화재사고 발생률(F)/사망자수(N)선도(F/N선도)를 작성하여 제연풍량 및 제연모드에 따른 위험도를 비교·평가하였다. 소방시설 등의 성능위주 설계 방법 및 기준에서 정하는 유해요소(일산화탄소, 온도, 가시거리)에 대한 ASET 분석에서는 가시거리의 영향이 가장 크게 나타나고 있으며, 화재열차의 승강장 진입지연을 고려하지 않은 경우에 풍량을 4 × 833 m3/min할 때 ASET은 약 800초 정도로 분석되었다. 예상사망자수는 화재차량위치에 따라 큰 차이가 있으며, 계단부에 인접한 차량에서 화재가 발생하는 경우에 선두부 차량대비 3배 까지 증가하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 제연풍량이 증가하면 사망자수가 감소하며 배기 보다는 급기방식이 감소율이 증가한다. 급기풍량이 4 × 833 m3/min일 때 예상 사망자수는 제연을 수행하지 않는 경우 대비 13%수준으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 위험도 평가결과, 제연을 수행하는 경우에는 현행 사회적 위험도 평가기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 예상사망자수는 제연을 수행하지 않는 경우, 10,000년에 29.9명에서 제연을 수행하는 경우에는 풍량이 4 × 833 m3/min일 때 4.36명으로 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다.
