To foster fire investigation professionals and expand career opportunities for graduates of fire science majors, it is extremely important to expand and reorganize courses which are related to fire investigation. Only 30 percent of universities have fire investigation related courses, and the courses only offer theoretical materials. As a result, it has a great limitation to teach essential knowledge which is required at a fire scene. This study suggests to classify fire investigation-related-courses in to fire investigation course and fire identification course. In addition, the study proposes ways to standardize curricula which enables students to acquire Certified Fire and Explosion Investigator (CFEI).

Nowadays, the arson is not common interest happening. the arson has been handled with a crime of violence along with murder, robbery and rape. because of being detrimental to the public clam. but the arson a has not been made award of a serious social problem. There is a rise in the control pos-sibility according to a level of national concern. we have known that the last fire accident of the Dea-gu underground It took a heavy toll of lives and the property due to our no interest in arson. The government should not only make up for legislation and systematize to correct a defect but also there is uniting the countermeasure system of the organs. The government establish particular research institution of the arson to consider a useful countermeasure. a purpose of this study is to enhance the concern and cognition of people and to search for the effective approach on the control of crime arson which is increasing recently.

Performance Based Design is evaluating after each calculatiuon ASET and RSET. Risk informaion values such as heat, smoke, toxic gas etc are extracted by FDS in this study. These Risk informaion values by FDS apply Artisoc (evacuation simulator). Building structure made $60m{\times}65m$, exit number is made 2 positions and people in this building are 50 ramdonly. 20 times (case1~case 20) simulated and analysis evacuees risk by evacuated route positions.

National performance-based design methods and prescribed standards for various input data not defined as separated regulation, ASET and RSET fire and evacuation simulations on the data cited by different designers. This is also directly connected reliability problems for the evacuation simulation and performance-based fire. standardizing the various input to performance-based fire and evacuation simulations of a similar risk, regardless of the experience of designer or technical skills. The performance-based targets proper fire-fighting and emergency equipment installed reasonable initial investment cost to done ensure safety.

The present study measured the light transmission to quantify the smoke density(smoke mass concentration) through the doorway in a compartment fire and performed the uncertainty analysis to evaluate the reliability of the measurement technique. The optical light extinction method based on Bourguer's law was applied to estimate the smoke density of doorway exhausting smoke flow in upper layer of a compartment for methane gas fires. The measurement uncertainty of the light extinction measurement was evaluated for the light transmittance, path length, and specific mass extinction coefficient and the expanded uncertainty was estimated about 20% with confidence level of 95%. The mean smoke density through the doorway for the methane fire was calculated for quasi-steady fire and the smoke density linearly increased as the GER increased.

The aim of this study is to analyse the sensitivity of fire simulation parameters including grid size and solid angle number which affect the performance of subway cabin fire simulation by FDS 4.07 version. The results of sensitivity analysis shows average of $10{\sim}20%$ differences in plume temperature, upper layer temperature, and layer height depending on the change of grid size. The study also shows that simulation with 0.05m grid size produces better resolution than that with coarse one which is 0.1m.

화재가 지속되기 위해서는 화재 3요소 또는 4요소가 충족되어야 하지만 역으로 한 개 이상의 화재 요소를 제어하거나 통제할 경우 화재를 진압할 수 있다. 원자력발전소에서는 화재방호계획에 의해 방화지역마다 화재 요인인 점화원, 가연성물질, 산소 등 지연성가스를 분석하고 연속적인 연소반응을 억제할 수 있도록 화재위험 요인을 관리하고 있다. 최근에는 정량화된 화재위험 분석도구인 화재모델을 활용한 성능기반 화재방호 기술이 원자력발전소의 화재리스크 관리를 위해 도입되고 있다. 성능기반 화재위험 분석 방법은 일반 산업계에서도 사용되고 있으나 원자력발전소의 경우 화재로 유발될 수 있는 원자로 손상 가능성을 수치화하고 통제하기 위하여 위험도정보 활용기술과 성능기반 기술을 통합하여 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 원자력발전소의 화재요인 관리 방법을 위험도정보 활용기술과 성능기반 화재방호 기술에 의거하여 분석하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 분석의 목적은 원자력발전소의 화재위험 관리 방법을 산업계의 화재방호 전문가들이 공유하고 산업계의 특화된 방법과 원자력발전소의 전문화된 분석기술을 실용화하여 화재리스크를 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 방법을 마련하기 위한 것이다.

The cone calorimeter method which is currently used to measure the heat release rate has a fixed rate of radiation. However, in the real fire, when flame combustible material burns, it releases the identical heat flux. We measured the changes of temperature of a fire using FDS in order to analyze flexible heat flux of combustion characteristics. In this study, the rate of radiation of cone calorimeter was adopted by using FDS. Follow those results, it produce between the rate of radiation in the growth period and decline period have a significant impact on heat release rate of PMMA.

17 kinds of fire resistant paint which are currently used were painted on the MDF, to find flame resistance performance and smoking characteristics according to principal ingredient and characteristics of fire resistant paint. 45 degree combustion test and smoke density test were conducted to investigate the flame resistance performance and smoking characteristics. According to the 45 degree combustion test, acrylic resin type fire resistant paint showed the most excellent fire resistance performance. And the water soluble fire resistant paint showed better fire resistance performance compare to the solvent soluble paints. Also gloss paint showed better fire resistance performance than the flat paint. Based on the smoke density test, the smoke generation of fire resistant treated specimen of acrylic resin type was least. And the water soluble fire resistant paint generate little smoke than solvent soluble fire resistant paint.

In this study, the fire extinguishing experiment was performed using a water mist nozzle with variation of factors which affect on the extinguishing time. The variables were distance from nozzle center to fire location, droplet size, height of nozzle and opening or not. With the experimental data, interaction and sensitivity between factors were analysed with Mini tab and deduce a optimum model of fire extinguishing of water mist system. Based on the experiment and modeling of fire extinguishing with water mist system, the most important factor on extinguishing time is the distance from the center of nozzle to fire and the opening effect was small compare with other factors.
