본 연구는 수계소화설비 배관계통의 지진시 피해실태 및 내진 성능에 대한 자료를 조사 분석하여 배관계통의 부위별 내진 설계 요구조건을 연구하였다. 수계소화설비 배관계통에 요구되는 내진안전성은 건축물을 사용할 수 있는 상황에서는 기능유지 또는 다소의 손상이 있다고 하더라도 용이하게 복구가 가능한 시스템이어야 한다. 스프링클러설비는 대규모 지진 직후에 있어서도 손상되지 않고 그 기능이 유지되는 것이 요구된다. 수계소화설비 배관계통은 지진에 의한 건축물의 변위 및 배관 본체 등의 과대한 흔들림에 의해 손상을 방지하기위해 건축물의 익스펜션조인트부를 통과하는 배관, 건축물 도입부의 배관, 설비기기와 배관 등의 이음부, 횡주배관, 입상배관, 기기류 등에 내진조치가 요구된다.

Even though the sprinkler system is a essential fire suppression system, the design engineers do not fully understand the concept of design area which sprinklers operate. They frequently made a mistake to form design area and calculate it. The shape of design area is a square or a rectangle which branch side line is a little longer than the cross main side. NFPA demands to lengthen the branch side to 1.2 times than the cross main side and FM demands 1.4 times. The longer the branch side at the same design area is, the bigger the water quantity and pressure is. At the results of hydraulic calculation of design areas, when the branch side is longer 1.2 times, the water quantity became 4.6% bigger than exact square and the pressure came to 4.67% bigger. When it is longer 1.4 times, the water quantity and the pressure are bigger 7.52%, 14.51%. Therefore, the sprinkler design engineers should follow the general rule of design area, exact square or rectangle which length along the branch line is a little longer than length along the cross main, to design more stable system.

There are three kinds of design method of the fire sprinkler systems. Grid type is connected all branch as a trapezoid. Loop type is connected cross-mains like circle. The last one is a tree type most commonly used. Grid type needs computer program to calculate the friction loss and flow rate apart from very simple form. In loop type, manual calculation is possible. Design engineer can draw up and calculate the demands without computer program. Because water supplies two direction in loop type, friction loss is smaller than tree type. Water distribution in operation area is uniform because of the small differences of sprinklers discharge pressure. Loop type is superior to tree type in respect of total pressure and flow rate. Using the small diameter pipe, the labor and construction cost will be decreased in the end. Loop type sprinkler design is rarely laid out because design engineers don't know the method. This paper is intended to inform that the loop type is better than the tree type in performance and economic point of view. And also this paper intend to use the loop type easily and widely.

Fire scenarios in a space $20.0m\;\times\;4.0m$ floor and 3.0m high were simulated by using computational fluid dynamics program (FDS 4.0.3) to investigate the effect of the combined operation of both sprinkler and vent systems, which are installed for cooling and blocking smoke which propagates beneath the ceiling of a horizontal corridor, on the temperature and smoke density of it. It was shown that the combined operation both sprinkler and vent systems was more effective than each operation for cooling and blocking smoke, the number of operating sprinklers was two because of corner effect of wall, and over-installed sprinklers deteriorated the effect of cooling and blocking smoke. This study showed that the case of two sprinklers and vent flow rate $3.0m^3/s$ in fire scenario was the most effective for cooling and blocking smoke. It was confirmed that the smoke downdrag occurs in operating sprinkler system, and the more smoke droplets produced by increasing fire size, the greater smoke downdrag occurred.

Lots of products stocked at a traditional market are made of rubbers, synthetic fibers and plastics which when on fire, emit high heat to easily ignite nearby inflammables. And shops are not divided by fireproof partitions but by combustible curtains, which contributes to a possibility of a conflagration. In this study, danger and weak factors on fire at a traditional market was analyzed. Non-existence of partition between shops and the height of piled inflammables are set as danger factors and change of extinguishing capacity of sprinklers was analyzed using fire dynamics simulator. As a result, it turned out that partitions between shops and high-piled inflammables reduced watering radius of sprinklers and increased the size of fire and distribution of temperature.

Sprinkler installations shall be operated at normal operating temperature of the atmosphere as a fire sprinkler head in any facility to control and extinguish the fire when the fire initially. Recently, however, some flush type quick response automatic sprinkler heads in slow fire place is a problem that can not be normal operation are raised. In this paper, by using the experimental model of the Apartment house of Commons and Cabinet burner size bedrooms fire conditions to form a slow growth rate and can supply more than 0.2 MPa pressure is the minimum pressure that can be applied inside the pipe in the field experiment was conducted. In the majority of experiments lush type quick response automatic sprinkler heads which is used in the country it was confirmed to be incompletely opened as the Cold Soldering occur. This phenomenon is likely to fail early fire suppression and control because they can cause the spread of fire and casualties needed to complement domestic product testing and type approval standards through additional research.
