In this study, we have conducted a fire resistance experiment under loading condition on standard fire to evaluate the fire resistance performance according to applying reinforcement of methods for reinforcing the lateral confinement of reinforced bars (Wire Rope) and fire resistance reinforcement (Fiber-Cocktail) for 100 MPa high strength concrete column. In the result of the experiment, in case of the test objects applied by hoop, it has been shown as not possible to be applied as the fire resistance structure after satisfying the fire resistance performance for 43 minutes. In case of applying the wire rope as lateral confinement of reinforced bar, instead of hoop in identical volume ratio, it has been shown as possible to apply it to the buildings with under 4 floors after satisfying the fire resistance performance fro 69 minutes with any separate fire resistance process. Also, in case of applying with mixing wire rope method, instead of hoop, and Fiber-Cocktail mix method to prevent spall, it has been shown as possible to apply to the buildings with over 12 floors after satisfying the fire resistance performance for 180 minutes.

This study is aimed to analyze the floe patterns and thermal characteristics by computer simulation under the variations of fire strength for the logitudinal tunnel, from which flow and heat distributions are predicted in the longitudinal tunnel. Through the results of numerical computations, followings are found; one is that the volume flow rate is discontinuously increasing as closer to fire location, and the other is that a critical design to get the faster flow rate is required because of existence of backlayer flow for the high fire strength in view of safety for the people in fire of the tunnel.

On September $11^{th}$ 2001, the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City were struck by two hijacked airplanes. Despite severe local damage induced by the impact, the towers were able to sustain 102 and 56 minutes of the subsequent multi-storey fires before collapsing. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the in-fire performance of composite trusses by examining the behaviour of the longer-span type used in the towers. It makes no attempt to be a forensic study of the actual events. Using the finite element package Vulcan, the structural mechanics of typical long-span composite floor trusses are explained, under a variety of scenarios, as the fire temperatures rise. Different boundary conditions, degrees of protection and loading are all covered, the results being presented mainly in the form of graphs of deflection and internal force of members against time.

건자재로서 나무 결함 중의 하나는 화재에 대한 취약성이다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국에서 자란 리기다 소나무, 밤나무, 굴참나무, 느티나무의 연소성질을 시험하는 것과 건자재로서의 사용에 대한 바람직한 특성을 알아내는 것이며 연소억제를 위해 실온에서 3종류의 암모늄염 즉, ammonium sulfate, monoammonium phosphate, 그리고 diammonium phosphate를 20 wt% 수용액에 각각 리기다 소나무를 함침시켜 건조시킨 후 재료의 난연성을 시험하였다. 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)를 이용하였고 분석 결과로는 열방출랑을 비롯하여, 가스방출량, 발화점 등을 측정하여 비교분석하였다.

현재 국내건축물은 주택, 빌라 등을 제외한 대부분의 건물에 소방시설을 적용하고 있다. 그렇지만 소방시설의 활용은 이천물류 창고 화재, 부산 노래방화재, 대구 지하철 참사와 최근 부산의 고층 오피스텔 화재 등을 볼 때 제대로 작동하지 않고 있다. 이처럼 우리나라의 실제 화재시 소방설비가 제대로 작동이 되지 않아 인명피해, 재산피해 등이 계속해서 발생되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소방시설 중 가장 널리 사용되고 초기소화에 가장 중요하게 사용되는 경보설비 및 피난설비의 관리 실태를 파악하고 그것에 대한 문제점을 데이터화하여 실제 화재시 소방시설의 적극적인 활용을 위한 해결점을 찾고자 한다.

In this study, numerical simulations were carried out to analyze the effect of the smoke extraction system and fire shutters in subway station fires using FDS 4.0. Subway station used in the experiment was 145 m long. Simulation results are validated by comparing with experimental results. Simulation results showed good agreement with experimental results within $10^{\circ}C$. 10 MW polystyrene was used as a fuel in the numerical prediction. Numerical predictions were performed in the center-platform type subway station in case of a kiosk fire. Temperature and CO concentration were lowered by the operation of smoke extraction system. But, the operation of fire shutters had little effect on temperature and CO concentration in the platform level.

Obesity and fitness have been identified as key health concerns among USA firefighters yet little is known about the current habits related to exercise and diet. In particular, high-intensity training (HIT) has gained increasing popularity among this population but limited quantitative data are available about how often it is used and the relationship between HIT and other outcomes. Using survey methodology, the current study evaluated self-reported HIT and diet practice among 625 male firefighters. Almost one-third (32.3%) of participants reported engaging in HIT. Body composition, as measured by waist circumference and percentage body fat, was significantly related to HIT training, with HIT participants being approximately half as likely to be classified as obese using body fat [odds ratio (OR) = 0.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.34-0.78] or waist circumference (OR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.37-0.98). Those who engaged in HIT were more than twice as likely as those who did not (OR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.42-3.55) to meet fitness recommendations. Findings highlight directions for future prevention and intervention efforts.
