This study aims to address the fire characteristics of Double-skin facade using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). To end this, Double-skin facade was classified into the four structures, that is Box, Shaft-box, Corridor, Multistory, through PyroSim program which was based on FDS, and further each structure of fire characteristics were analyzed numerically as well as comparatively in the current study. This study also examined smoke movement, smoke density, smoke detectors, and visibility in order to closely identify the each structure of fire characteristics. The results of the study discovered that the Box structure did not significantly affect smoke which was rising in the other rooms, except for the fire room whereas the Corridor structure had positive effects on Double-skin facade horizontally. In addition, the Shaft-box structure showed the fastest vertical movement by means of the shaft, on the other hand, rising smoke influenced the other rooms as well. The Multistory structure along with rising smoke had a great impact on the other divided rooms in a vertical way.

Purpose: The goal of this research is to create a numerical analytic database that may assist fire prevention managers and building officials in prioritizing items that need to be addressed in order to improve evacuation safety performance while working within a constrained budget and time frame. Method: It was carried out utilizing the CFD Tool, a quantitative evaluation approach, to assess evacuation safety. One direct staircase-type apartment houses and one corridor-type apartment were chosen to make it. Result: In the fire compartment category, Apartment A's evacuation time was around 130 percent longer than that of sprinkler facilities. Conclusion: Fire prevention managers and building officials feel that starting with a single level and implementing "dwelling unit separations" will increase evacuation safety, and that maintaining fire compartments and sprinkler systems at all times will be effective. Because of the limited characteristics of smoke propagation in corridor-type apartments compared to direct staircase-type flats, it is thought that fire extinguishing equipment should be addressed.

It is difficult to understand the interior of complex facilities such as general hospital. Because interior spatial composition in hospital tends to be focused on function. So it is important to find out how people understands the structure of interior spaces. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how interior space affects the legibility of space making use of puzzle map method. The subjects of this investigation are two general hospitals which have typical plans in Korea. ; One is corridor type and the other is hall type.

유입된 공기가 배출될 때 중앙코어형 건축물이나 지하층처럼 밀폐된 공간의 경우 옥내에 부압이 형성되며 제연구역과 과도한 압력차이로 출입문 개방에 필요한 힘을 초과하는 등 많은 문제들을 야기할 수 있다. 유입공기 배출댐퍼가 적용된 ◯◯오피스텔을 사례로 실제 TAB(Testing, Aejuwting, Balancing)를 수행하여 유입공기 배출에 따른 영향과 제연성능의 개선방안을 알아보고자 하였다. 유입공기 배출댐퍼를 순차적으로 개방해 가며 차압 및 방연풍속 등의 변화를 기록한 결과 밀폐된 복도에서 유입 공기 배출댐퍼가 개방되면 복도에 부압이 형성되고 제연구역에 과도한 압력이 발생하여 출입문 개방에 필요한 힘을 초과하였다. 유입공기 배출댐퍼 개방 층수를 증가시켜 TAB를 수행한 결과 3개층 까지 개방하여도 방연풍속이 확보되었다.

해마다 증가하고 있는 피서철 해수욕장 안전사고 및 비선박 사고의 감소를 위해 본고에서는 연안해역정밀조사 자료를 활용한 해양안전지도의 제작 및 체감형서비스를 구축하여 서비스하는 방안을 마련하였다. 해양안전에 관련한 각종 자료를 수집, 현장조사, GPS측량, 전문가 및 현지주민의 인터뷰 등을 통해 취득하였다. 서비스에 이용될 기본 배경지도로는 5m급 육상 지형기복도와 국립해양조사원의 수심자료를 사용한 해저지형기복도를 융합하여 제작, 이용하였다. 각종 해양안전관련 정보들은 해양영토(구역), 어촌양식, 항로, 각종사고이력, 시설, 위험요소 등 해양안전과 관련한 총 26종의 다양한 분류체계를 구성하여 구축하였다. 이렇게 수집, 구축된 기본 해양공간정보들을 바탕으로 사용자에게 정보의 전달성을 고려하여 국민이 간접적으로 체감할 수 있는 형태의 사이트(해수욕장 등)별 도면 형태의 해양안전지도를 제작하고, 개방형 대국민 해양공간정보 웹서비스인 '개방해(海)', 해양전문 공공기관용 웹서비스인 '공유해(海)' 대국민 해야안전정보 앱서비스 안전해(海)'와 시스템들을 구축하여 서비스 방안을 구축하였다. 각 서비스에는 해양안전사고 예방을 위한 각종 안전 및 위험정보 콘텐츠들을 수록하였고, 목적에 따라 이용가능한 분석 기능들을 제공하였으며, 위험구역에 노출될 경우 사용자간 위험을 알려주는 알림 기능 등을 제공함으로써 위험에 노출되고 조치하는데 도움을 줄 수 있도록 하였다. 그 결과, 현재 각종 기관에서 해양공간정보의 이용을 확대하고자 연계신청 증가와 더불어, 대국민 서비스 이용자수가 증가하는 실적을 기록하였으며, 향후 보다 광범위한 영역에서 안전사고, 안전대응, 안전관리 등의 분야에서 대책 도구로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

This study measured and analyzed the propagation characteristics at frequencies 6, 10, and 17 GHz to discover the new propagation demands in a semi-basement indoor corridor environment for meeting the 4th industrial revolution requirements. The measured indoor environment is a straight corridor consisting of three lecture rooms and glass windows on the outside. The measurement scenario development and measurement system were constructed to match this environment. The transmitting antenna was fixed, and the frequency domain and time domain propagation characteristics were measured and analyzed in the line-of-sight environment based on the distance of the receiving antenna location. In the frequency domain, reliability was determined by the parameters of the floating intercept (FI) path loss model and an R-squared value of 0.5 or more. In the time domain, the root mean square (RMS) delay spread and the cumulative probability of K-factor were used to determine that 6 GHz had high propagation power and 17 GHz had low propagation power. These research results will be effective in providing ultra-connection and ultra-delay artificial intelligence services for WIFI 6, 5G, and future systems in a semi-basement indoor corridor environment.

This study examined an effective way of measuring the evacuation performance in buildings, which are applied to a double skin facade through an evaluation of the escape safety. Buildings with a double skin facade appeared to have a faster combustion expansion speed for the upper floor if a fire occurs. Moreover, a double skin facade is more difficult to escape safely than a general building construction because of the limited design standards. Accordingly, this study suggested virtual modeling including single emergency stairs and alarm systems considering the risk in each structure of buildings. These results showed that box-type double skin, corridor access type, shaft-box type, and multistory facade systems showed a 26.4%, 29.1%, 23.4%, and 26.3% increase in evacuation performance, respectively, as well as securing the safety of occupants.

The virtual reality (VR) technology has been used as the application of architectural presentation or simulation tool in the field of industry. The high immersion and intuitive visual information are the great merits of design evaluation or environmental simulation when we are using the virtual environments. But the distortion of distance perception in VR is still a big problem when the accuracy of distance presentation is strictly required. For example, distance estimation is especially important when the virtual environments are applied to the presentational tool for evaluation the space design or planning in the field of architecture. If there are some perception error between the built space in real and represented space in virtual, the accurate design evaluation or modification of design is hard to be carried out during the design development stage. In this paper, we have carried out some experiments about distance estimation in the immersive virtual environments to verify the factors and their influence. We made a hypothesis that the lack of the information for the user in VR causes the different distance estimation from the real world because users are usually comfortable with moving fast and long distance in VR environments compared with moving slow and short distance in real space. So, we carried out basic experiment to prove our hypothesis that the lack of information makes subjects estimate the distance of walking in VR shorter compared with the same distance in real. Also, among the factors that probably affect the distance estimation in VR, we have verified the influence of the image resolution. The influence of resolution degradation of image on the distance estimation was verified with the condition of static and dynamic images. The results showed that the resolution has deep relation with the distance estimation. For example, the subject underestimated the distance at the lower resolution condition. We also found the methods of the making the lower resolution image could affect on the visual perception of subjects.
