In this research, to establish the emission for the people who are clearing out, through the numerical analysis using the CFD model, the dangerousness has been investigated in the various emission conditions in a station platform. As a result of research, it is found out that the temperature variation falls between 65.37% and 74.97% to compare without installation of platform screen doors. In the addition, with the supply mode or push-pull mode, the warm current is generated in the platform so the temperature and the layer of smoke are stirred up and felled off. It will make the dangerousness when the people escape. Therefore, when the capacity of emission and the space of platform is set up, the design regards the properties of the fire emission.

최근 도시화로 인해 지상 도로망은 포화상태에 도달했으며, 지하에도 전기나 가스관 등과 같은 라이프라인들이 거미줄처럼 얽혀있어, 교통터널의 지하화 및 대심도화에 대한 국내외적인 관심이 고조되고 있다. 또한 도시의 가장 큰 재산피해를 야기하는 재해 중 하나인 홍수피해는 도시 불투수층의 증가 및 기후변화 등으로 인해 그 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 원인 또한 하천범람이나 우수관의 통수능 부족 등 다양해지고 있다. 그러므로 대도시 지하의 교통터널에 홍수저감의 구조적 대책인 방수로 기능을 추가한 방수로 겸용 터널에 대한 사회적 경제적 수요가 발생하고 있으며, 해외에서는 이미 시공되어 사용되고 있는 사례가 있다. 그러나 교통이나 홍수방어 중 하나의 목적만을 위해 건설되는 터널과 달리 방수로 겸용 터널은 사람이나 차가 평상시에 다니다가 홍수 시에만 방수로로 그 기능이 전화되어 사용되므로, 혹시 발생할 수 있는 수재해에 대한 대피 가이드라인이나 수방 설계에 더욱 주의를 기울이지 않는다면 자칫 큰 인명피해를 야기할 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 기존 도로터널과 방수로에 각각 적용되어 오던 국내 수방 설계 기준 및 수재해 대응 가이드라인을 정리하고, 외국의 방수로 겸용 터널의 설계 지침을 참고하여 우리나라 실정에 맞는 방수로 겸용 터널의 수방 설계 기준 및 수재해 대응 가이드라인을 제안하고자 한다. 이는 향후 국내에 건설될 방수로 겸용 터널의 설계 기준으로 활용될 수 있으며 추가로 입법이 필요한 정책에 대한 기준을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에서는 실제 규모 데이터센터의 3D 모델링을 기반으로 대상 공간별 화재 시나리오를 선정하여 화재 및 피난 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. FDS와 Pathfinder는 full coupling 방식을 사용할 수 없는 한계가 있으며 semi coupling의 경우 가시화에는 도움이 되나 결과에 영향을 주지 않는다. 따라서 재실자의 피난 상황 시 경로에 대한 안전성과 화재 위험 노출 정도를 시각적으로 분석하는 것이 가능한 semi coupling과 시뮬레이션 결과 데이터 분석을 병행하여 수행하였다. 전산실의 경우 서버의 기능상실 한계 온도가 32도이기 때문에 서버 기능 정지 상황에 도달하는 시간을 중점적으로 분석하였다. 전산실은 업무 및 고객 서비스와 관련된 모든 데이터들을 저장하기 위해 항시 기동 되어야 하는데 전산실 내 화재가 발생할 경우 1~2분 이내 서버 기능이 정지되는 상황이 발생하였다. 따라서, 서버가 안전하게 계속 동작하기 위해서는 전력 계측 및 제어 케이블 열화, 서버 장치의 건전성이 유지되어야 하며 초기 화재를 빠르게 감지하여 진압하여야 한다. 피난 시뮬레이션의 경우 가시도를 상실하게 되는 시간이 약 195초(5m 미만) 인근으로 인원이 해당 층을 완전히 벗어나는 데 걸리는 시간이 약 125.6초였던 것을 보면 대피하기에 충분한 허용 피난시간(ASET)을 확보하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: Recently, there has been a movement to guarantee the right to watch sports for the disabled. However, the sports stadium is designed without considering the wheelchair users, so the right to move in the stadium is not secured. Restrictions on the movement of the disabled make the evacuation vulnerable in an emergency. This study aims to develop a plan to ensure the safety of movement and evacuation of wheelchair users by conducting simulations targeting indoor sports stadiums. Method: The simulation was performed by constructing a scenario with the shape of the stands as a variable. The effect of the installation of wheelchair seats on evacuation was confirmed. Result: The results according to whether wheelchair seats are installed, the evacuation route of wheelchair movement, and whether wheelchair seats are separately arranged were compared. The impact of wheelchair seat installation on evacuation and its characteristics were derived. As a result, upward and separation seat was the most vulnerable to evacuation. Conclusion: A plan to secure evacuation performance was derived for the top floors of upward and separation seat. It is judged that the content can be use as a way to secure the safety of movement and evacuation of the disabled in sports stadiums.

Uniform laws and regulations and reasonable design is necessary for the prevention of possible fire in super high-rise building. To this end, this study focused on super high-rise and massive building-related architectural review performance-based design (PBD) evaluation disaster impact assessment (DIA), and provided fire engineering measures for improving fire prevention on the basis of performance-based design by analyzing the buildings subject to these systems and problems in terms of contents. Above all, in the aspect of law and standard improvement, first, with regard to dual parts of two statutes though significant portion of them has the same contents in performance-based design (PBD) evaluation and disaster impact assessment (DIA), it is necessary to operate the systems after making them conform with each other and consolidating or abolishing them. Second, if it is impossible to consolidate or abolish performance-based design (PBD) evaluation and disaster impact assessment (DIA), the areas of contents of performance-based design (PBD) evaluation and disaster impact assessment (DIA) should be precisely classified and established. Next, engineering improvement measures against fire hazard in super high-rise building are as follows. First, it is necessary to revise the provisions of straight-run stairs in special escape stairs. And in case of installing a mechanical smoke exhaust system instead of smoke vent, sandwich pressurization used in the United Stated should be permitted. Second, with regard to smoke control system for special escape stairs, it was shown that there was necessity for revising the standards in order to enable air to be supplied according to section in case of fire, carrying out performance-based design, and the like from the early design stages to the completion stages. In the future, it is expected that an epoch-making contribution will be made to a decrease in casualties and property damage due to fire in case of super high-rise building where the results can be reflected after carrying out a study on maintenance and carrying out an additional study on other considerations of super high-rise building together with reflecting the improvement measures provided in the above-mentioned study.

An apartment house with a pilotis that raises the architectural volume and provides a space for circulation is becoming popular. With the popularity of pilotis in apartment houses, people also have a keen interest in the potential fire risk at the pilotis. As residents can only access their apartment house through the pilotis, there is a risk to the occupants if there is fire there. Therefore, this study evaluated the pilotis fire cases of urban multifamily housing to conduct a Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and Fire Evacuation Simulation (FES). Through these two simulation methods, it is possible to validate the riskiness of fire at an apartment with a pilotis. The study identified that the toxic gases and flame spread out to the pilotis within hundred seconds after ignition. In addition, the toxic gases and flame also reach the second floor within three seconds and the entire building within 735 seconds if the entrance doors at the pilotis are opened. On the other hand, the FES simulation results showed that it also takes about approximately 609 seconds to excavate from the apartment house with a pilotis. Therefore, this research shows that an apartment house with a pilotis can ensure the building occupants' lives and their safety if there is fire.
