  • 본 연구는 구획된 소공간유형의 EPS실에서 케이블 등의 가연성물질에 대한 화재특성을 시뮬레이션(FDS6)을 활용하여 진행하였다. 구획된 공간인 EPS실에서는 산소의 공급이 원활하지 않아 표준화재곡선에서와 같은 우상향의 연소곡선이 나타나지 않았다. 환기가 제한되는 상황에서 열방출율과 연기 방출량에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과는 상승과 하락을 반복하며 불안정한 형태의 복잡한 화재특성을 보였다. 화재시간은 화재하중에 비하여 길게 나타났다. 열방출율에 비하여 연기 방출량의 변화는 느리게 진행되었으나 전체적인 면에서 변화양상은 유사성을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다.

  • Short circuit and ground fault account for the primary causes of electrical fires. In this research, real-scale experiments were conducted to assess the possibility of electrical fires due to these causes. The experiment conditions were identical with an actual fire accident, in which the power cable was supported by an iron fence. The purposes of this research are to investigate the short circuit caused by wire cutting, the conductivity of the iron fence depending on its coating conditions, and the ground fault of one wire or two wires in an effort to reconstruct the fire accident. The test results show that, owing to the instant operation of circuit breaker in the moment of short circuit or ground fault, the generated ignition energy is far less than necessary to start an ignition. Therefore it is concluded that electrical fire is highly unlikely if the electric system is protected by a circuit breaker with normal functions.

  • Significant portion of the fire accident is caused by some troubles in electric circuits. To prevent the fire induced by those electric trouble, some indications of electric fire need to be suitably detected at the first stage of the fire development. With this background, the characteristics of soot yielding of electric cables have been investigated using a light extinction method. In this study, a light scattering method was compared with the light extinction method. A slot-type premixed-flame combustor was traversed to bum three types of electric cables by compulsion, then the mass decrease rate and the soot densities were measured. According to the experimental results, the light scattering method is preferred to the light extinction method when the soot yield ratio is relatively small. Thus the former method is more suitable to detect the occurrence of an electric fire in a power distributer box.

  • This paper investigates the change of structural characteristics of steel cable-stayed bridges after cable failure. Cables, considered as the intermediate supports of cable-stayed bridges, can break or fail for several reasons, such as fire, direct vehicle clash accident, extreme weather conditions, and fatigue of cable or anchorage. Also, the replacement of cables can cause temporary disconnection. Because of the structural characteristics with various geometric nonlinearities of cable-stayed bridges, cable failure may cause significant change to the structural state and ultimate behavior. Until now, the characteristics of structural behavior after cable failure have rarely been studied. In this study, rational cable failure analysis is suggested to trace the new equilibrium with structural configuration after the cable failure. Also, the sequence of ultimate analysis for the structure that suffers cable failure is suggested, to study the change of ultimate behavior and load carrying capacity under specific live load conditions. Using these analysis methods, the statical behavior after individual cable failure is studied based on the change of structural configuration, and distribution of internal forces. Also, the change of the ultimate behavior and load carrying capacity under specific live load conditions is investigated, using the proposed analysis method. According to the study, significant change of the statical behavior and ultimate capacity occurs although just one cable fails.

  • 본 연구는 지하구 미분무수 소화설비 적용에 관한 것으로, 화재 초기에 신속한 소화를 통한 케이블 열적손상의 최소화와 신속한 본래 기능의 회복을 위한 소화 시스템의 최적화에 그 목적이 있으며, 이를 위해 미분무수 노즐개발을 위한 화재실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 2.5m(H)$\times$2.5m(W)$\times$25m(D)의 콘크리트 지하구에서 소화설비가 작동되지 않는 경우와 2가지 종류의 미분무수노즐이 적용되는 경우를 수행하였다. 실험 결과 소화설비의 개입이 없는 경우, 2분 이내에 열적 변형에 의한 치명적인 손상을 입었으며, 2~3분 경과 후 케이블의 내부까지 손상되었다. 노즐적용실험의 결과, 타입 1(입자분포 약 470$\mu{m}$)노즐과 타입 2(입자분포 약 650$\mu{m}$) 노즐은 모두 케이블의 피해 온도제어($4000^{\circ}c$ 이하)를 만족하였다. 실험을 통하여 지하구 공간특성에 적합한 미분무수 헤드의 특성을 설정할 수 있었으며, 그 성능을 입증할 수 있었다.

  • This paper describes the fusing time characteristics of Light PVC Sheathed Circular Cord(VCTF) and Tray Frame Retardant(TFR) cables according to increased temperature under over current condition. The experimental equation will be used to determine the validity and reliability of the test results. The over current flowed 3, 5 and 10 times higher than the amount of allowable current using DC power supply with DAQ(Data Acquisition) measurement system. An infrared radiation heater, which was controlled by a variable AC auto transformer, was used to increase the temperature from room temperature to 50, 100 and 150 degrees Celsius. First, two type of cables were analyzed those with different cross-sectional areas with in the same structure and those with different structures with in the same cross-sectional areas. Then, it was determined how fusing time had been influenced according to the cross-sectional areas and different structures, respectively. The cable resistance was increased by joule heating according to increasing temperature. Therefore, the allowable current of cable is decreased. Finally, the fusing time of the cable was decreased due to increased temperatures at current flow, which were 3 times the amount of allowable current. The instantaneous breakdown was observed when current flow was 5 and 10 times over the amount of allowable current. The fusing time is directly affected by the structure of cable insulation.
