최근 급속히 발전하고 있는 과학기술과 산업발달에 따라 화학물질, 위험물의 사용, 저장 및 운송물이 날로 증가하고 있다. 이러한 물질들은 우리의 일상생활과 인류문화 발전에 크게 기여하고 있지만 인화성, 폭발성 등의 잠재위험성을 가지고 있다. 세계 각국은 물질의 분류와 표시가 달라 국제무역에서 많은 사고가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구의 목적은 자기반응성물질의 화재 폭발 위험성을 평가하고, 국제적인 시험방법과 국내 시험방법으로 시험하여 연관성 및 상관관계를 알아보고 선진화된 시험방법을 국내실정에 적합하게 제시하는데 있다.

현재 미국과 유럽, 일본 등에서는 실내 벽 및 천장 마감재에 관하여 성능 기준 설계에 의한 새로운 평가방법이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 예를 들면 시험에 소요되는 시간과 경비를 절감하고자 Bench-scale test 결과를 이용하여 화재위험성을 예측하는 내장재의 Performance-based fire safety design에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 한편, 성능기준 화재안전 설계를 적용하기 위하여 현재 사용하는 대부분의 존 모델 프로그램은 공간화재시 가연성 마감재의 발화 및 화염확산 및 위험성을 충분히 고려하지 못하고 있다.

In recent years, unexpected bridge fire accidents have increased because of augmenting the number of traffic volumes and hazardous materials by the increment in traffics and distribution business. Furthermore, in accordance with the effort of using the under space of bridges, the ratio of occupied by combustible materials like oil tanker or lorry has been increased. As a result, the occurrence of bridge fire has been growing drastically. In order to mitigate the accident of bridge fire, risk assessment of bridge fire has been studied, however, practical risk models considering safety from users' viewpoints were scarce. This study represented quantitative risk assessment model applicable to national road bridges in Korea. The primary factors with significant impacts on bridge fire accidents was chosen such as clearance height, materials of bridges, arrival time of fire truck and fire intensity. The selected factors were used for Fire Dynamics Simulation (FDS) and the peak temperature calculated by FDS in accordance with the fire duration and fire intensity. The risk assessment model in bridge fire reflected the FDS analysis results, the fire damage criteria, and the grade of fire truck arrival time was established. Response plans for bridge fire accidents according to the risk assessment output has been discussed. Lastly, distances between bridges and fire stations were calculated by GIS network analysis. Based on the suggested assessment model and methodology, sample bridges were selected and graded for the risk assessment.

국내 화재사고중 화재가 가장 많이 발생한 발화지점은 생활공간이며, 이중 침실 및 숙박용 객실이 가장 높은 화재 발생 건수를 보이고 있다. 이처럼 주거시설, 청소년 수련시설 등 생활공간에서의 화재는 화재시 침대 매트리스에 의한 연소확대로 많은 인명 및 재산 피해를 발생시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 생활공간을 구성요소중 침대 매트리스의 화재확대 위험성에 평가하기 위하여 실규모의 화재실험을 수행하고, 이를 분석하였다. 이러한 실규모 화재실험을 통하여 얻은 결과는 국내 성능적 화재안전 설계를 위한 기본적인 자료로 이용됨과 동시에 주거공간의 화재확산 방지 기술 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 평가된다.

초고층 복합건물의 비상시에 대한 인적 피해 및 물적 피해를 최소화하기 위해 화재 위험성을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 기술이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 비상시 초고층 건물의 화재 발생 및 발달에 대한 충분한 화재 안전성을 확보할 수 있도록 사전에 평가할 수 있는 기술을 개발하고자 한다. 특히 국내에서는 고층 건물에 대한 화재 시나리오가 명확히 제시된 바가 없기 때문에 정량적 화재 위험성 평가를 위한 신뢰할 수 있는 시나리오를 개발하고 이를 분류할 수 있는 하부모델을 도출하였다. 따라서 시간에 따른 화재의 발달과 연소 확대에 관한 각 하부모델의 적절한 시나리오 선택 기법을 제시하고자 한다.

Securing fire safety using only fire-fighting facilities is difficult because causes of modern fire vary, such as architectural structures and building use patterns. In order for fire safety to be guaranteed by enacting and revising fire regulations reflecting the fire hazard characteristics and user's characteristics, the introduction of fire influence evaluation (fire risk assessment) system needs to be considered in a timely manner to be adopted but unfortunately two attempts before have failed. In this study, a fire case of urban lifestyle housing was surveyed to introduce a fire influence evaluation system and a field survey on the actual condition of the 414 urban lifestyle housing buildings and fire & evacuation simulation results of one representative building in Suyoung-gu and Nam-gu District of Busan Metropolitan City were analyzed. The necessity, procedures and implementation method of fire influence evaluation system were questioned and tested by the professional fire experts, fire officers and firefighters and architects. On the basis of these facts, introduction of (fire influence evaluation system) should be absolutely adopted and the fire department and fire regulation are eligible to implement the system. Therefore, fire regulation needs to be enacted or revised in accordance with the new fire environment and fire safety system that needs to be built up. Accordingly, aggressive promotion through public hearings on the necessity of fire impact assessments, consensus among departments and fostering experts to carry out fire influence evaluation system will be the core.

With the huge navy projects such KDX-III, LPX, bigger and more complicated vessel constructions are being underway in navy. In this paper, considering these trends, we performed a risk analysis on the navy vessel for the fatality of soldiers on board and presented the risk level with FN curve. Assuming a fire occurs in one of the soldier bedrooms, we established event tree to visualize the possible development scenarios and calculated the fatality for each scenario. The critical condition to survive inside the bedroom was obtained through CFAST program.

The evaluation of fire risk for combustible materials was carried out using Chung's equations-X, Chung's equations-XI, and Chung's equation-XII, which were newly established. The fire risk index-XII (FRI-XII) and fire risk rating (FRR) were calculated for specimens including camphor tree, cherry, rubber tree, and elm. The combustion characteristics were determined using a cone calorimeter according to ISO 5660-1. Chung's equations caculated the fire performance index-X (FPI-X) and fire growth index-X (FGI-X) values ranged from 89.34 to 1696.75 s² /kW and from 0.0006 to 0.0107 kW/s² , respectively. In addition, the fire performance index-XI (FPI-XI) and fire growth index-XI (FGI-XI) varied from 0.08 to 1.48 and from 0.67 to 11.89, respectively. The fire risk index-XII (FRI-XII), which is an indicator of fire risk, showed that camphor tree had a value of 148.63 (fire risk rating: G), indicating a very high fire risk. This suggests that combustible materials with a high concentration of volatile organic compounds have lower FPI-X and FPI-XI values, higher FGI-X and FGI-XI values, and consequently higher FRI-XII values, indicating an increased fire risk.
