Land fire receives additional extinguishing methods easily by professional extinguisher. But because of isolation and independence from land when sailing on the sea, ships are difficult to get special help from land. Generally, the death ratio by suffocation is higher than the death rate by flame and to reduce suffocation death ratio, fast evacuation is required. This paper aims to improve survival ratio at ship fires by soot density reduction. This study examines soot density and visibility using FDS. And also examines evacuation time by Pathfinder. The FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulator) is a 3 zone model(Field Model) analysis tool and the patherfinder is a useful analysis tool for evacuation. This research examined about evacuation time using the current regulations of the ship's corridor width and exit width first. And then studied evacuation time again when ship's structure was changed according to the method that is proposed in this paper. And finally compared the results each other.

This study focused on the emergency evacuation guidelines considering the behaviors of people with disabilities in Korea. For these purposes, this study reviewed the movement behaviors of people with disability and the treatment characteristics of emergency and hazards in United States. The results are as follows. First, it is necessary to suggest establishment requirements and building design guidelines considering the behaviors of inhabitants and the occupant load in social welfare facility for people with disabilities. Second, it is important to establish disaster preparedness and evacuation planning in emergency and hazards reflecting the movement behaviors of people with disabilities in national organizations and institutions on disability. Third, periodical emergency and fire drills are necessary for people with disabilities and should be managed considering the impaired prototypes, evacuation aids and service animals.

2011년3월에 발생한 동일본대지진에서는 일부지역에서 대규모 쓰나미 경보 사이렌의 고장 및 긴급시 사용하는 방조제 개폐장치의 고장 등, 상상외의 여러가지 일들이 발생하면서 그 피해가 더 커졌다. 이러한 사태를 바탕으로 대규모 지역에서의 피난 계획 및 시뮬레이션의 필요성이 최근에 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 광역 피난계획을 풀기 위한 동적 네트워크 흐름 문제(dynamic network flow problem)를 적용한 방법론을 소개하고, 동적 네트워크 흐름 문제를 풀기 위한 일반적인 방법론 중 시간 확대 네트워크 문제 및 시간 확대 네트워크의 문제점인 계산시간을 해결하기 위한 고속연산 휴리스틱 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다.

최근 산업의 고도화에 따른 건물의 고층화로 하나 또는 그 이상의 승강기를 보유한 건물들이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 건물에서 화재와 같은 긴급한 재난 발생 시 피난계단을 이용하여 탈출해야 한다는 상식에도 불구하고 본능적으로 승강기를 이용하여 대피하려는 경향이 뚜렷하다. 화재상황에서 승강기 이용 시 독성의 연기 유입으로 피난 활동이 어려우며, 전원 차단으로 정지 시 연기에 질식사할 확률이 급증한다. 따라서 승강기 내부로의 고립이나 승강기를 이용한 피난활동 시 연기로부터 안전한 호흡장치의 개발을 위한 연구를 진행하고자 한다.

등록 장애인의 수가 매년 증가함에 따라 휠체어 사용 장애인도 역시 증가하고 있으며, 이들은 일상생활에서 휠체어가 필수적이며 건축물 공간 내에서 수직이동을 위해 경사로도 필요하다. 휠체어 사용 장애인의 접근성 확보를 위한 수직이동시설 중 하나인 경사로의 경우 1/12라는 기울기로 인해 많은 공간을 차지하게 되므로 건축물 내 경사로 설치에 소극적으로 대처하고 있다. 기울기(1:12, 1:10, 1:8, 1:6)를 조절할 수 있는 경사로를 설치하여 20대, 30대, 40대, 50대, 60대 각 연령별로 남녀의 비율을 같게 하여 수동식 휠체어를 사용하여 이동 실험을 하였다. 화재와 같은 긴급피난 시 경사로 설치를 통해 계단으로 이동하지 못 하는 휠체어 사용 장애인들의 자력피난과 화재안전을 확보하고자 연구를 진행하였다.

Seafarers can confront to evacuate from the ship with many reasons such as collision, grounding and fire accident. It believes that evacuation time from ship is very important element in order to increase survival rate in the contingency circumstance, however narrow and complex structure of ship is one of obstacle element against prompt evacuation. Taking into consideration the unique structure of ship compared to the structure of other facilities, speed of fire propagation on board ship is faster than the same size of other type facilities. Therefore, measures to prompt evacuation are required. But it comes with the behavioral constraints of the crews and passengers of the nature of operating in a complex structure with narrow vessels. Therefore, in this study, we propose a formula to be analyzed by theoretical approach and simulation methods to improve the survival rate for the crew and passenger of the ship through the ship's structural modification. We analyzed the temperature rise and visibility which are the most influential effects on the life safety in the event of fire by using a three-dimensional analysis of sight-only program Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) as analytical tools.

Even though the passengers' safety has priority on Passenger ship, there is no criterion on the evacuation performance related with human behavior. To uncover the potential problems of domestic criteria on safety of passenger ships, this study performed simulation ad analysis the evacuees safety before and after the Sewol's remodelling. It is clear that the assembly stations of both before and after Sewol remodelling have sufficient areas to satisfy the domestic criterion by simply human- body's-area, but those are failed to assemble all the passengers by the simulation tool that reflects the human behaviors' characteristics. For the healing angle as 0 degree, and the criteria of SOLAS, it was found out that all the passengers can safely evacuate from each cabins to the embarkation stations for both of the before-and-after the Sewol remodelling. But for the healing angle as 20 degree, both of the before-and-after Sewol remodelling are evaluated as possible to make all the passengers evacuate for day scenario and impossible for night scenario of SOLAS criteria. And because of the worse conditions after the remodelling, the probabilities of Sewol(before) are showed wide band comparing to Naminoue (after).

Evacuation process has been considered as one of the most important elements to be managed in public facilities. Although the importance is highlighted through numerous literatures, disaster evacuation planning, particularly fire accidents, faces a number of human behavior related limitations for a similar application to different types of facilities/occupants. To overcome the obstacles including complexity in human behaviors, a number of simulation techniques with limited consideration on human behaviors are utilized to predict foreseeable problems in evacuation process. Therefore, this research aims to propose system dynamics models incorporating human behaviors considering different types of occupants under disaster evacuation events. Analysis on emergent human behaviors such as group forming and interactions under urgent situation are conducted based on the main stream theories in social science field. The results suggest the influences of human behavior factors including cooperative intention, information sharing, and mobility change to evacuation behavior. The implications are expected to provide safety consideration at planning/designing phase of buildings and help facility safety managers for evacuation planning with more realistic management approaches.

이 연구는 대규모 지진 등 재해재난 발생시 선박을 활용하는 방안에 대한 연구이다. 최근 신안 등에서 진도 4.9의 지진이 발생하는 등 한반도도 더 이상 지진의 안전지대가 될 수는 없다. 대규모의 지진이 발생하면 도로교통 등이 마비되었을시 긴급을 요하는 환자의 후송 및 대피시설에 대한 방안마련이 필요하다. 실제 지난 한신아와지 대지진시 선박을 이용하여 이러한 조치들이 이루어졌다. 따라서 도로교통 마비시 선박을 현장지휘를 위한 지휘선(실습선), 병원선 및 카페리선(피난선)을 활용한다면 보다 적극적인 위기대응이 될 것으로 판단된다.

In restroom on high-rise building, exhaust system comprising the blower and duct is installed to discharge the odor and the water is suppled. Thus the restroom with fire and flame protection system may be used as refuge area in a fire situation. The study presents the smoke-proof system which operates such that the exhaust system to discharge the odor is converted to air supply system and appropriate pressure difference between the restroom and the accommodation is maintained. Also real-scale test facilities of smoke-proof system for refuge space using a restroom are installed on 5-story smoke control test building and experiments for evaluating the operational performance of smoke-proof system are carried out.
