The mass flow rates and performance of natural smoke ventilators in high-rise buildings with 40, 80, 120 stories were evaluated using CONTAMW tool. The results showed that only limited part of smoke ventilators can have positive exhaust flow in high-rise buildings due to stack effect and wind velocities. In the higher story buildings larger stack effect can overcome outside strong wind effect to give more ventilation performance. The air tightness of the building have strong effect on the exhaust performance of the ventilators to give lower performance with loose air tightness of the exterior walls.

In this research, a VR game was developed to experience the fire evacuation from a fired building, intending calm and fast reaction in urgent fire situations. The user should move out through the fire door, stairs and corridors toward exit door using the VIVE controllers. When the user can't proceed the path because of fire flame or smoke, he/she should turn back to find another path. A building of Hoseo university was modeled and tests were carried out by students with polls focused on the usability and the effectiveness of this VR game. The result has been analyzed to show their responses.

Fire protection (sprinkler) piping system is an essential element for the energy supply and for the protection against the seismic-induced fire during and after an earthquake. The primary objective of this study was to understand the seismic performance of complex two-story piping system installed in a low-rise building subjected to bi-directional and three-directional earthquakes. The result of current study revealed that the displacement of the piping system in accordance with floor level was significantly different due to acceleration-sensitivity but the effect of the piping system due to the vertical direction earthquake was not significant.

With the rapid development of technology, skyscrapers are widely spread and they are tightly coupled. If fire occurs in a building, it is easily spread to neighboring buildings, resulting in the large number of victims and property damages. To remove fire disasters, the need for early fire detection techniques is increasing. To detect fire, detecting devices for heat, smoke, and flame have been used widely. However, this paper surveys and presents the latest research which focuses on early smoke and flame detection algorithms and systems with camera's input images. In addition, this paper implements and evaluates the performance of these flame and smoke detection algorithms with several types of movies.

Nowadays fires must be detected rapidly Abstract, and by connecting the detector's distribution, sender, transponder, receiver and others can be connected. Mechanical systems are implemented in today's buildings. However, this kind of constructing method has some disadvantages, that is, if fire happens somewhere, we cannot judge where the fires happen, and it is also difficult to judge what extent the fires reach. In order to overcome the disadvantages, in this paper, according to the tendency of combining the Ubiquitous and Intelligent Network, we propose a type of system by using the method of comparing the differences of the existed systems. The proposed system is designed to perceive the fires rapidly and confirm the fire place and fire scale correctly.

In case of fire, the information related with the fire need to be provided to fire fighters in order to extinguish the fire efficiently. However, existing fire detection systems have the problem not to provide the data of the fire to fire fighters visually. In this paper, we propose the fire spot system using a cloud server to solve this problem. In the proposed system, the sensors installed in a building collect the gas and temperature data and store them into the cloud database using a wireless network. For fire fighters in the field, the details and history of the fire spot are displayed visually on top of the blue print retrieved from the cloud database using a smart device.

본 논문에서는 기술의 빠른 발전에도 불구하고 줄어들지 않는 화재 사고, 그 중에서도 많은 인명피해를 내는 실내 화재 사고에 대하여 기존 실내 화재 알림 시스템의 한계점인 알림의 양치기 소년화로 인한 안전 불감증 증가와 알림의 사각지대 문제를 해결하고자 새로운 대안 시스템을 설계 및 구현하고, 실험 검증을 진행하였다. 위 두 가지 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 스마트폰이 매우 대중적으로 보급되어 있다는 점을 기반으로 IoT, 엣지 컴퓨팅, 비콘 등을 응용한다. 비콘 신호를 broadcasting 하는 엣지 노드의 신호 범위 내에 진입하면 사용자 정보를 수집하여 대상 건물에 출입한 대상을 특정한다. 말단 센서 노드와 엣지 노드 간의 무선 RF 통신으로 화재를 모니터링하며 화재가 발생했을 시 특정된 대상들에게만 스마트폰 어플의 푸시 알림으로 화재 발생 상황을 전송하는 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 시스템 성능 평가를 위해 동국대학교 건물 내에서 수평, 수직으로 이동하며 실험을 진행하였고, 그 결과를 통해 대안 시스템의 성능과 한계를 분석하여 이를 실내 공간에 적용하기 위한 적합성을 평가하였다.

In structural fires, flashover is characterized by the rapid transition in fire behavior from localized burning of fuel to the involvement of all combustibles in the enclosure. An investigation of parameter effects on the time to reach flashover conditions in a typical single room fire is undertaken using a zone method (FAST) and Thomas method. Major parameters affecting the time to reach flashover are found to be fire growth rate, ventilation opening area and internal room surface. The results of the FAST and the Thomas Method give very similar results of the time to reach flashover..

The final goal of this study was to develop an optimal service scenario to ensure that building occupants can be effectively evacuated from the building within the golden time without extra assistance in preparing and evacuating for fires. In addition, the research was carried out by dividing the current services into fire evacuation and preparedness phases by applying the Double Diamond process in order to find a way to better familiar them as a lifestyle and to always be prepared for fires. For the building occupants and managers, a total of 14 ideas were first suggested, including not only the services of how to evacuate from a fire, but also the life-style service functions associated with fire implementation technology in daily life. The 14 proposed ideas were conducted by the Service quality evaluation and Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) from the perspective of the service recipient, and those were finally prioritized from the service provider's perspective, taking into account the cost and practicality of the service provider. The results of this study show that differences in the importance of fire phases considered by stakeholders and the perception of fire generally vary considerably.

고층 건물에서 혹한기에 심하게 발생하는 연돌효과는 건물 외벽 및 창문에 구조적 영향을 미치고, 제연기능을 기능을 저해하고, 승강기 문 개폐 장애와 소음 및 공조기능 장애 등 설비 기능에 부정적 영향을 미치며, 화재시 승강기 승강로 등 수직 샤프트를 통해 연기를 전파시킨다. 계단실의 상하부를 화재 시 자동으로 개방함으로써 계단실의 기류 유동 마찰을 이용하여 연돌효과를 대폭 줄일 수 있고, 승강기 승강로 또한 상하부를 개방함으로써 승강로와 거실 사이의 차압을 줄여서 연기의 전파를 막을 수 있다. 샤프트 복합효과를 이용하여 차압을 상당부분 제어할 수 있으며, 일반용 샤프트만으로 샤프트 복합효과를 일으키기에 부족한 경우에는 연돌효과 제어 전용 보조 샤프트를 검토할 필요가 있다.
