실제 화재의 위험성을 평가하는 가장 좋은 방법은 직접 실재 화재 조건을 모사 또는 구현하여 평가하는 방법이다. 그러나, 비용과 시간 및 환경 문제를 생각한다면 쉬운 일은 아니다. 따라서 단위 재료를 태우거나, 전산 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 화재를 예측하는 방법을 활용한다. 본 연구에서는 콘칼로리미터 실험 결과를 기초 데이터로 실제 화재 실험인 room corner test의 총열방출량을 추정하였다. 그 결과 가연물의 부피 및 밀도와 보정상수를 활용하여 실제 총열방출량에 근접한 결과값을 얻을 수 있었으며, 산출된 총열방출량을 근거로 전산시뮬레이션을 수행, 시뮬레이션 결과값을 통해 재실자의 화재 및 연기에 대한 위험성 평가를 할 수 있었다. 본 결과를 통해 화재 시뮬레이션 수행 시 가연물에 따른 화재에 의한 위험성 평가를 할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze fundamental combustion characteristics of woods used for indoor applications. The combustion characteristics such as heat release rate, total heat release, gas yield, and mass loss were analyzed by the method of cone calorimeter or thermogravimetry. These analysis results show that material properties of wood are closely related to flammability. It was shown that the relationship between the mass loss and gas emission. The results of combustion properties of woods would be useful for fundamentals of guiding the safe use of wood indoor application.

In this study, we have examined the monthly combustion characteristics of Quercus variabilis, a representing Quercus Spp. in Korea, using its living leaves over the period of from June to October. As a result, we were able to identify that their moisture content was about 114%~155%. The leaves of Quercus variabilis collected in October showed the lowest moisture content and nonflaming ignition temperature. The leaves of July showed the fastest flaming ignition time of 27s while those from September showed the longest persistence of flame with 105s, and also showed the highest total heat release amount. There was a noticeable difference in each month of the above period regarding total heat release amount and total smoke release amount with a gradual increase from June to October. The maximum smoke density was a bit higher in October leaves but there was no significant monthly difference. In addition, July leaves were shown to reach the maximum value in the shortest time of 795s.

본 연구는 산림 내 주요 시설물 주변의 소나무, 리기다소나무, 해송, 잣나무, 굴참나무낙엽 5종 및 소나무광솔 등 주요 산불연료에 대하여 연소특성을 분석하고자 착화특성과 전파특성을 실험 한 결과, 발화온도의 경우 소나무낙엽($285^{\circ}C$)이 가장 낮게 측정되어 발화위험성이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 착화시간의 경우 굴참나무낙엽(발화온도 $305^{\circ}C$)이 3초로 가장 빠르게 나타났고, 화염유지시간의 경우 굴참나무낙엽이 가장 긴 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 전파특성 실험결과 소나무 광솔이 총열방출량 $72MJ/m_2$, 평균열방출율 $40KW/m_2$, 최대열방출량 $206KW/m_2$로 가장 높았으며, 두번째는 소나무낙엽으로 나타났다. 따라서, 실제 산불에서도 소나무광솔과 소나무낙엽이 화염전파에 더 영향을 줄 것으로 사료되었고, 또한, 연료별 탄소배출량 분석 결과 평균$CO_2$방출량이 가장 큰 수종은 리기다소나무낙엽(1.33kg/kg)이며, 평균CO방출량이 가장 큰 수종은 굴참나무 낙엽(0.075kg/kg)으로 나타났다.

수산화마그네슘을 첨가한 저밀도 폴리에틸렌-에틸렌 비닐 아세테이트 복합체의 연소성을 시험하였다. 저밀도 폴리에틸렌-에틸렌 비닐 아세테이트에 수산화마그네슘을 40~80wt% 첨가하여 용융 혼합하고 성형 후 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)를 이용하여 연소성을 시험하였다. 수산화마그네슘을 첨가한 시편은 첨가하지 않은 시험편에 비하여 그의 플래시오버 가능성이 감소하였다. 수산화마그네슘을 첨가한 시험편은 첨가하지 않은 시험편에 비해 낮은 총열방출량과 낮은 CO 발생량을 나타내었고, 수산화마그네슘 함량이 증가할수록 총연기발생량과 비소화면적이 감소하였다.

As a preliminary study to evaluate the reliability of the calculation method of fire load for residential furniture combustibles, the present study estimates the fire load considering the volume data obtained by the 3D geometrical information of combustibles and material properties based on the literature survey and sample burning test. A kitchen sink cabinet, couch and workstation were investigated for estimating its fire load and real fire test have been performed to measure total energy released from the combustibles. Based on total energy measured from real fire test, the relative error of the estimated fire load due to literature survey and measured material properties showed 6~120% and less than 20%, respectively. It shows that the estimation error of fire load are greatly affected by its material properties as well as geometrical information of combustibles and the present study will be able to contribute to accurate estimation of fire load.

In order to predict about forest fire behavior we constructed a database for combustion characteristic of forest fuels in Samcheok, Gangwon-do and prepared fire risk map and fire risk rating using GIS method in this study. For the mapping autoignition temperature, ignition time, flame duration time, total heat release and total smoke release are selected as the standardized parameters and the overall risk rating was made up of the ignition risk parameters(autoignition temperature, ignition time) and the spread risk parameters(flame duration time, total heat release, total smoke release). Forest fire risk was classified into 5 grades and lower grade of fire risk rating mean to correspond to more dangerous forest fire. As a result, the overall risk rating of Samcheok was classified into three grades from 1 to 3 and Nogok-myeon and Miro-myeon were turned out the most dangerous areas for forest fire. Because of the colony of pine and oak trees and the higher fire loads, the flame propagation will be carried out quickly in these areas.

The influence of expandable graphite (EG) on flame retardancy and foaming properties of the NBR/GTR foams was studied. The foaming properties were similar to those of NBR/GTR foams without EG when the EG contents were 10$\~$30 phr. The LOI values were increased with the EG content. For cone-calorimeter test, the data showed the trend similar to that from experiment. When the composition ratios of the compounds of NBR/GTR were 100$\~$0/80$\~$20 (w/w), and the EG contents were 10$\~$30 phr, we obtained high flame retardancy foams with low heat release rate (HRR), total heat release (THR), effective heat of combustion (EHC) and carbon monoxide yield (COY). The smoke density is similar to CO yield values obtained by the cone-calorimeter test. TGA analysis also showed the results approximately similar to those from the LOI and cone-calorimeter experiments.

This study was performed to understand combustion properties four major Indonesian wood species such as Albizia, Gmelina, Mangium and Mindi were investigated by cone-calorimeter for better utilization of theses wood species. Heat release rate (HRR), total heat release (TSR), specific mass loss rate (SMLR), effective heat of combustion (EHC), time to ignition (TTI), flame time (FT), specific extinction area (SEA), smoke production rate (SPR) and CO compound production rate were measured. HRR, THR and FT were proportional to the density of woods. Albizia showed the highest HRR, while Mindi had the lowest HRR. For SPR, Albizia showed the highest value due to its higher SEA. On the other hand, Mindi had the lowest SPR due to a lower SEA value. The highest smoke emission was for Albizia at the beginning of combustion. After 300 seconds, smoke emission of Gmleina and Mangium was increased greatly. Mangium and Mindi showed the highest total carbon dioxide emission. Expecially, Gmelina released the highest carbon monoxide during the combustion period and presented three times higher $CO/CO_2$ ratio than those of other species due to incomplete combustion.

우리나라 목조 문화재 건축물은 재료특성상 화재위험에 항상 노출되어 있다. 특히 2005년 4월 4일 발생한 양양산불로 인해 낙산사의 주요 건축물과 동종 누각이 소실되었고 2008년 2월 10일 발생한 숭례문 화재로 인해 숭례문 목조구조물 대부분이 소실되었다. 목조 문화재 건축물 주요 구조재의 수종에 대한 데이터베이스는 현재 우리나라에 아직 갖춰져 있지 않고 있어 본 연구를 통해 세계문화유산으로 등재된 경주 양동마을의 목조 건축물에 대한 수종분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 기둥과 보 부재 수종은 소나무 > 느티나무 > 상수리나무 순으로 구성되어 있고 도리 부재는 소나무 > 느티나무 > 전나무 순으로 구성되어진 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 소나무, 느티나무, 상수리나무, 전나무에 대해 열방출율, 총열방출량, 착화온도 등에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 각 수종에 따라 연소특성에 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었고 향후, 연소특성 데이터베이스를 통해 산불로 인한 화재성상 및 목조 화재성상 예측에 활용하고자 한다.
