Abstract
With rapid growths of economy and technology, structures and forms of buildings have been diversified and complicated. Buildings also have become higher and larger than ever before. As a result, more people use a building and more combustibles exist in the building. Without understanding of combustion characteristics and the establishment of a fire safety plan in case of a residential fire, it is expected great loss of lives and properties. In this study, experiments were carried out to promote an understanding of the combustion characteristics of combustibles in the building. Sofa and bed were used as combustibles in the experiment. Heat release rate of the sofa was about 1.9MW. Heat release rate of the bed was approximately 650kW.
