For the past decade, South Korea had experienced catastrophic building fires, which resulted in consider-ably high number of casualties. This motivated research to develop fire-safe wall assemblies. In this study Fire Risk Analysis (FRA) is conducted as part of the project designing phase to ensure fire safety of the final product. Traditional approach was to consider fire performance at the end of the designing stage, when PASS/FAIL fire test results are required to be submitted to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). By applying a fire risk analysis to guide the designing phase, overall fire safety of a wall assembly can be achieved more systematically as conducting FRA allows designers to clearly identify elements that are more vulnerable to fire and simply replace them with other practical options. Severity of fire risk is determined by considering the fire hazards of a wall assembly such as the exterior layer, insulation, vertical connectivity, and external ignition sources (e.g., photovoltaic panels). Frequency of fire risk is assessed based on the factors affecting fire likelihood, which are air cavity and fire-stopping applied in the design, and random design changes occurring during on-site construction. Fire risk matrix is proposed based on these fire risk factors and efforts to reduce the fire risk level associated with the wall assembly are given by systematically assessing the fire risk factors identified from fire risk analysis. Current study demonstrates how fire risk analysis can be applied to develop fire-safe walls by reducing the relevant fire risks- both severity and frequency.

The purpose of evaluating the fire risk of a building is to predict damage or loss of life and property in unspecified circumstances and to minimize expected damage. The fire risk assessment for buildings in Korea analyzes fire risk according to performance-oriented design under the Enforcement Decree of the Fire Facilities Act and the Fire Causing Index under the Enforcement Decree of the Multi-Use Business Act. Fire risk analysis is mainly conducted by using fire statistics or analyzing the results of safety inspections of buildings. In the case of fire statistics, it is necessary to analyze the fire risk in consideration of the degree of fire damage in each number of fires, as all fires received by the fire department are collected. In addition, it is necessary to devise fire safety measures for buildings by predicting the number of casualties that may occur due to fires in each building. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze the characteristics of casualties by building use using the number of fires judged to have grown.

원자력발전소의 화재방호규정은 정성적인 화재위험성평가와 정량적인 화재위험도분석에 기반을 두며, 화재위험은 심층화재방어개념인 화재 예방, 화재 진압, 및 피해 최소화의 3가지 요소에 균형을 유지하면서 화재방호계획에 의해 관리되고 있다. 최근 화재위험 상세평가는 일반적으로 존모델 또는 필드모델을 이용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 추세에 따라 최신 화재모델링 도구인 FDS를 이용하여 원자력 발전소의 방화지역에 대한 정량적 화재위험분석 및 화재영향 평가가 가능한지 그 여부를 확인하였다. 이의 결과 화재모델링을 이용한 정량적 위험분석은 원자력발전소의 방화지역에 대한 정량적 위험도 분석뿐만 아니라 화재로 인한 원자로 노심 손상빈도를 개선할 수 있는 응용 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문은 반단선과 트래킹에 의한 복합적 전기화재의 위험성분석에 관한 연구이다. 먼저, 단일원인인 반단선에 의한 전기화재 위험성을 분석하기 위해 전선의 소선 수 및 정격전류의 변화에 따른 열적특성을 측정하였다. 또한, 그 후 복합적 원인에 의한 전기화재 위험성을 분석하기 위해 반단선 상태에서 추가적으로 가속트래킹 실험을 실시하여 반단선과 트래킹의 화재연관성을 확인하였다. 실험결과 반단선이 단일원인으로 작용할 때의 전류에 의해 발생된 기존 열적특성과 트래킹이 복합적으로 작용함으로써 전류가 크게 증가되어 열적특성이 더욱 뚜렷이 나타나 단일원인에서 발생되지 않았던 급격한 온도상승으로 인한 소선의 단선이 복합적 원인에서 나타났다. 즉, 기존의 반단선에 의한 전기화재 위험성보다 반단선과 트래킹이 복합적으로 작용될 경우 상대적으로 그 위험성이 크게 증가되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study aims to establish a methodology for rational fire risk assessment for building evacuation safety in case of fire, and specifically, to propose a fire risk assessment technique using fire scenarios considering various uncertain factors in case of fire. In order to analyze the extent to which the assumed conditions can occur, that is, the probability of each accident caused by fire, the safety rate is analyzed according to the presence or absence of each factor by using fire statistics. Factors related to the fire protection performance and evacuation ability of buildings are defined as disaster factors. In this study, disaster factors were classified into the following three categories.

In Korea, in the case of fire scenarios in performance design, it is assumed that the sprinkler is not working. In addition, it does not applicate various fire conditions. Therefore it is not enough that the accuracy about fire scenario. In foreign countries, reseach is being conducted to predict the casualities that can occur due to fire in the building space through statistical risk analysis. Also, research is consistently conducting for design that consider the sprinker probability of operation. Therefore, to analyze the fire risk of each building in Korea, the risk was analyzed using statistical data. As a result, the risk of casualties that can occur for each building use was analyzed as 0.6(persons/cases) for residential buildings, 0.25(persons/cases) for sales facilities, and 0.12(persons/cases) for buisiness facilities.

In the design and maintenance of buildings, identifying the degree of damage in the event of a fire is an important factor in fire prevention and fire safety design. In order to predict fire damage, safety measures should be established by predicting the nature of evacuation according to fire, smoke and in-house characteristics, and the effects of the operation of fire safety facilities should also be considered, but in Korea, the risk analysis due to the operation of fire safety facilities is insufficient. Accordingly, this study uses fire statistics and sprinkler inspection data to analyze the degree of fire damage caused by the operation of sprinkler facilities in a probabilistic manner.

본 연구는 화재위험도 분석 개념과 정의 및 접근방식을 검토하여 건물화재위험도 분석의 기반을 구축하였으며, 다음으로 컴퓨터 프로그램인 FREM을 사용하여 국내외 대표적인 고층건물 100동에 대한 화재위험도를 평가한 후 위험의 유형을 도출하였고, 또한 외국에서 개발된 이 기법을 국내에서 적용하였을 때 발생되는 문제점을 밝혔다. 고층건물의 화재위험도 평가에 있어 가장 중요한 요소는 건물 내 방화구획과 자동소화설비의 신뢰도라 할 수 있다. 더불어 고층건물에서 화재안전을 확보하기 위하여서는 이 두 설비를 유효하게 설치하고 유지관리 하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 또한, 차후 이 두 설비 등에 대한 신뢰도 평가기준을 더욱 심도 있게 연구하여, 지수를 이용한 건물 화재위험도 평가에 적용한다면 적은 비용으로 보다 정확한 위험도 산정이 가능할 것이다.

Subway platform is divided into Side-platform type and Center-platform type. In this study does quantitative fire risk assesment of subway platform types in numerical analysis by using CFD model. From the result of this study, 1) All exhaust mode was low-end result it seems most fire risk at Side-platform station. 2) All exhaust mode was low-end result it seems most fire risk at Center-Platform station. 3) When comparing same type exhaust mode of Side-platform and Center-platform that last thing was visible $9.1{\sim}72.34%$ low-end fire risk. Center-platform is more opera-tive than Side-platform that reduce fire risk when that was same dimension and external environment. Designer look upon a fire characteristic of subway platform types when he make smoke control air volume and platform area design.

Recently, railroad long tunnels are increasing and growing longer due to topological feathers like a lot of mountain in Korea. But fire disaster of a long tunnel cause many people to injury and death. For that reason, at the early design stage of a long tunnel, risk assessment and mitigation measure of risk for satisfying tunnel safety are required. According to the railroad facility safety standard (Korean MLTM Announcement No. 2006-395), risk assessment for railroad-tunnel fire should be performed when design stage. Therefore, various methods of risk assessment for tunnel fire have been studied and applied. In the paper, QRA(Quantitative Risk Analysis) for fire risk assessment by using CFD code is presented and the usefulness of CFD is discussed.
