Abstract
The quantification of fire size in buildings must be preceded in order to design the trial of performance based design (PBD). When design fire size is determined appropriately, the trial design will become economical and safe design against fire risk. There are many problems in determining design fire size because of lacks of fire engineering data and short history of PBD in korea. Therefore, this paper has surveyed the guideline of design fire in other countries, real experimental data for a few occupancies and the cases of design fire size determining for PBD in Korea. Also, it has proposed the guideline of design fire size for various occupancies in korea after analyzing the appropriateness of design fire size.
