Building use classification is classified the building types according to the similar structure, the goal of the use, and its shape. The important reason of building use classification is that building restrictions are applied according to building use classifications. But there are a lot of confusion because the building use classification is regulated not only by the Building Act but also by the several individual Act. Particularly in the large-scaled, high-raised and complex building construction, it is very important to remain the consistency of the building use classification between the Building Act and the Fire-Fighting System Act for safety of occupants. So the purpose of this study is to suggests the improve direction of the building use classifications through the comparative analysis of the Building Act and the Fire-Fighting System Act.

The architecture environment has changed. The corresponding design criteria should be changed. From July 27th, 2005 the Korea Standard of the fire door changed concerning the smoke resistance test which made the door gap structure more elaborate. However the National Fire Safety Codes are applied by the old data's of England. Which in case differs in the actual construction to the blue print, making the safety standard too excessive. Analyze the results and the phenomenon that occurs due to the difference between design and reality. The National Fire Safety Codes should be revised to leakage crack calculation is presented. Difference of the air flow for the smoke protection due to the stack effect analyzed. Living patterns and evacuation patterns of the apartment reflect and reasonable air flow measurement method are presented.

건물의 고도화, 복합화 되고 있는 현시대에 화재시의 인명안전을 위하여 피난 및 소화기술의 발전은 더욱 강조되어 재해대책의 기술의 발전이 필요하다. 또한 소방법의 개정으로 인하여 스프링클러를 비롯한 소방설비의 수요가 늘어날 것으로 전망되어진다. 그러나 기존의 소방설비는 많은 공간을 차지하게 되어 층간높이에 영향을 크게 미치는 단점을 가지고 있었다. 본 논문에서는 화재진압설비를 기존의 공조시스템과의 결합을 통해 설치비용의 감소와 함께 공간 절감을 꾀하기 위한 적절한 공조설비의 선택을 위한 연구를 진행하고자 한다.

최근 국내의 경우 FDS를 이용한 성능설계, 화재영향평가 및 피난안전성평가등 다양한 분야에서 활발하게 사용되고 있으며 더불어 제조물책임법(PL법)과 실화책임에 대한 법률등이 새롭게 제정됨에 따라 화재조사 및 감정분야에 화재시물레이션이 적용될것으로 예상됨으로서 이러한 분야에 대한 화재시물레이션의 적용이 큰 이슈로 등장하고 있으며 이에 따라 소방방재청에서도 차세대소방기술에 대한 R&D로서 수행중에 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 상황에서 FDS를 화재조사에 활용함에 따른 문제점과 개선대책을 검토한 것이다.

안전한 생화환경에 대한 국민수요 급증 및 사회변화에 따른 장기적 관점의 재난관리체계가 필요하고 우리나라의 경제성장이 거듭됨에 따라 고도화된 기술문명 사회로 급속히 발전한 결과 과거와는 달리 지하철 사고, 가스폭발사고, 화학물질 분출사고 등 사회재난의 유형이 다양화되고 있을 뿐만 아니라 그 피해의 양상이 복잡화 되고 있어 이에 대한 전략적인 대응이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사회재난 사고유형 및 대응사례 분석을 통한 재난대응 시나리오를 개발하고, 관련 법제도 검토를 통해 법개정 방안을 수립하여 시범사업 기반 구축의 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Interest in fire prevention/fighting has been increased by large fire. It is important to install/manage the detector, alarm, firefighting facility, evacuation route and so on to minimize the damage from fire. Chemical plant is generally constructed by steel structure. So fireproofing is significantly required to chemical plant because steel structure should endure during fire. Currently, fireproofing should be applied up to 6m from ground by local regulation. But chemical plant can handle the large amount of flammable materials or only non-flammable materials. Required of fireproofing height by fire magnitude is studied in this thesis.

To prevent the Sewol incident again, by which the victims are 294 dead and still 10 missing, this study analyzed the change of safety consciousness of passengers onboard ship comparatively before and after the Sewol incident. The survey had performed 2 times at Jeju coastal cruise terminal at February 2014 and May 2014, and effective respondents were 394 and 401, respectively. After the Sewol incidents, the answers' ratio that they would follow the routes that the crews show and they would follow the crews' evacuation guides are decreased 24.5% and 18.5%, respectively. This means that the reliability on the crew members were decreased. Although 77.6% passengers responded that they felt nervousness onboard ship, 60% did not take safety lesson(s) and 45% did not know how to wear a life jacket. And also over 50% did not check the evacuation route map and the location of lifeboat, respectively. Meanwhile, 86.9% respondents answered the system of safey lesson should be changed, which has normally done by TV set.

With regard to smoke control system, the design guidelines of smoke exhaust for accommodation and smoke control for evacuation stairs and vestibule has been proposed domestically, but after reviewing the applicability to modern buildings that tend to be larger, higher and complex, a smoke control system according to domestic design guidelines might have difficulty in securing the safety from smoke in a fire. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt the performance-based design of a smoke control system that can enhance the safety and integrate the smoke control functions and design depending on the characteristics of fire and building structure in the case of fire in a large, high-rise, and complex building. This study analyzed the domestic design guidelines of a smoke control system and this paper proposes the part requiring improvement, and examines the legal system and guidelines on performance-based design of smoke control system in foreign countries.

The fire accidents having recently occurred are getting more and more larger and causing lots of damage in terms of property loss and casualties increase, so there is in need of technical fire safety development like comprehensive prevention solution in order to effectively prevent. Especially, the needing of new paradigm for advanced fire safe technology is gathering strength in high-rise modern building construction. Therefore, we want to find out on this paper what is a correlation between heat release rate measurement and smoke release volume by three parts of oxygen consumption calorimeter in bench scale calorimeter (cone calorimeter/ISO 5660/Avg.500Kw), Medium scale calorimeter (Room corner tester, Single burning Item/ISO 9750, EN 13823/Avg.3MW), and large scale calorimeter (Industry calorimeter/Avg. 10MW). Thus, Smoke detective of new paradigm devised by making use of a correlation between heat release and smoke production is to help reduce loss property and casualties. Ultimately, based on this theory, a new concept of fire alarm and evacuation system will be developed and expected to apply to a skyscraper.

In this study, the disaster management and disaster medical improvement was described in underground space(specifically underground shopping center) in case of fire disaster occurred. Firstly, statue and system was discussed concerning building law, safety, fire services, refuge. The underground in Seoul management is classified as to space and form and management agent is different according to the type form. Because the difficulty of emergency rescue arises due to individual management system unified system needs to be established and improvement of facility management agent is necessary. For the patient to be transfer on the ground, corporation between command head quarter and emergency rescue team are essential. And disaster information and emergency medical information are also need to be considered. Therefore, effective countermeasures for emergency saving is urgent considering distribution of medical institution and medical treatment.
