기둥은 축하중과 지진하중에 저항하는 주부재로서 구조물에서 가장 중요한 부재중의 하나이다. 이러한 기둥은 화재 시 고온에 의해 그 성능이 저하되어 전체 구조물계에 심각한 균열을 초래할 수 있으며, 구조물의 붕괴로도 이어질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 형식의 기둥인 내부구속 중공 콘크리트 충전강관 기둥 (ICH CFT column; Internally Confined Hollow Concrete Filled Tube column)의 내화 성능이 연구되어져 있지 않기 때문에 건축물에 적용을 하여 기준에 맞는 기둥을 만들기 위해서는 내화 성능 평가가 필요하다. 본 기둥은 콘크리트 충전 강관 기둥 (CFT column; Concrete Filled Tube column)과 같이 외부 강관에 의해 콘크리트가 구속되어 기둥의 성능을 발휘하므로, 외부 강관의 항복 여부가 전체 기둥의 강도를 결정하게 될 것이다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 화재에 의한 기둥의 온도 변화에 따른 ICH CFT 기둥의 강도를 콘크리트의 구속효과와 재료비선형성을 고려하여 해석을 수행하였고, 또한 기둥의 중공비, 외부강관의 두께, 콘크리트의 강도를 매개 변수로 선정하여 기둥의 내화 성능을 평가하였으며, 해석에는 범용 프로그램과 전용 프로그램을 병행하여 사용하였다.

This paper is aimed to analyze the electrical and thermal signal such as ignition possibility, ignition time, thermal characteristics and arc fault power that are associated with electrical fire in case of the occurrence of series arc at IV wiring used for interior wiring at commercial power source. In order to analyze the signal, series arc was induced by generating the constant vibration through vibrating device in the one phase (R phase) and ignition possibility was analyzed along the condition of current value by adding cotton material to the contact point of wiring. The ignition time is shortened as the electric current value increased, burning time is not associated with current value and the temperature rose up to $740^{\circ}C$ though it was not ignited. It was checked out that the temperature was the energy source enough that can generate the fire related with insulation aging of wiring and the inflammable. The possibility of electrical fire by series arc was shown as more than 12% at 5A, more than 42% at 20A and arc showed 27W at 5A, 180W at 20A. It was confirmed that the possibility of electrical fire exists at the condition as above and the circuit breaker did not operate. This data can be used as the reference value for the investigation of electrical fire or development of the circuit breaker.

신속한 화재 진압을 목표로 가스계 소화 시스템에서 소화약제는 일반적으로 섭씨 $21^{\circ}C$에서 약 28 MPa의 고압으로 저장되며, 방출시 감압밸브와 오리피스를 지나면서 약 8 MPa의 압력으로 방출한다. 때문에 방출시 약 140 dB 이상의 소음이 발생하게 되는데, 이로 인하여 hard disk drive (HDD)와 같은 전자 부품들이 손상되기도 한다. 따라서 소음문제는 가스계 소화 시스템에 있어서 중요한 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 소음문제 해결방안으로는 일반적으로 흡음재를 부착하여 소음을 저감시키는 방안이 있으며, 본 연구에서는 흡음재의 두께를 설계 변수로 선정하여 유동소음을 저감하는 방안을 고찰하였다. 관측점에서의 소음도와 노즐내부 유로에 나타나는 유동특성은 상용 코드인 ANSYS CFX ver. 18.1을 이용하여 수치적으로 계산하여 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 현재 상업용으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 멀티시스템형 에어컨실외기의 화재 위험성을 평가하기 위하여 에어컨실외기의 실물 연소실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 에어컨실외기는 내부 폭발과 상부 배출 그릴을 통한 급격한 화염분출 및 화재확산을 보였으며, 이는 실외기 내부에 내장된 전선, 전자 제어판, 열교환용 동판 및 합성수지류 등의 가연물이 연소하고 냉매가스가 충전된 배관이 가열로 인해 파괴되어 냉매가스가 분출되면서 화재폭발과 외부로 화염분출을 가속시켜 일어난 것이다. 본 실험에서 에어컨실외기의 최고 열방출율은 5,830 kW로 나타났으며, 열화상 카메라 및 열전대에 의해 측정된 실외기의 내부 온도는 최고 $1,201^{\circ}C$이고, 외부온도는 최고 $881^{\circ}C$ 이상, 화염의 길이는 약 5 m 이상 상승하였다. 그러므로 에어컨실외기의 화재는 주변 가연물을 발화시키는 원인으로 작용하여 건축물에 2차 화재를 발생시킴으로써 큰 피해를 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 실물실험에서 얻어낸 결과는 향후 컴퓨터시뮬레이션에서 에어컨실외기의 화재구현 및 주변 가연물로의 화재 확산 예측에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

화력발전소의 연료로 사용되는 우드펠릿을 시료로 하여 시료 용기의 크기에 따른 최소자연발화온도를 구하였으며, 이 온도로부터 Frank-Kamenetskii의 열발화 이론을 이용하여 겉보기 활성화 에너지를 구함으로써 물질의 위험성을 예측하였다. 용기의 크기가 클수록 발화한계온도는 낮아졌으며, 겉보기 활성화 에너지는 37.83 kcal/mol을 구하였다. 또한 시료의 용기가 커질수록 발화유도시간 및 최고온도에 도달하는 시간이 길어졌다.

This study was undertaken to investigate fire risk characteristics of the plastics foam that is used an insulating materials in workplaces. The ignition characteristics and combustion gas of the plastics foam were carried out using the ISO self-Ignition tester, the Cone Calorimeter, and NES combustion analyzer. The experimental materials used were commercial samples and their composition is not disclosed by the manufacturer. As the experimental results, the self-ignition temperature of the plastics foam ranges from $410^{\circ}C$ to $510^{\circ}C$, and the flash-ignition temperature of plastics foam ranges from $370^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$. The difference of ignition temperature on density with plastics foam type was smaller since the amount of combustible gas to ignite is not caused enough. The time to ignition of the polyethylene foam in samples of the plastics foam was shorter, and its of polyethylene foam was longer. The concentration of carbon dioxide of the polyethylene foam shows higher in samples of the plastics foam. It is found that the concentration values of carbon monoxide of the plastics foam show very fatality on people during exposure of 30 minutes in fire.

In this paper, the authors test various open codes and commercial codes based on CFD technology on the wind field around the complex terrain, which is a very important transport physics in the event of forrest fire. To study the physical mechanism inside the transition from surface fire to crown fire, the wake flow behind a parallel array of trees is studied numerically to show the flow separation in the turbulent boundary layer. Two sites near to Kunsan National University are chosen for the measurement of real wind field, and obtained data are compared with those from various computational codes such as Wind-Ninja, NIST-FDS, ANSYS-CFX, and ANSYS-FlUENT, etc. Through this research, feasibility and accuracy of the present CFD codes are investigated quantitatively, compared with the measured data with AWS.

The paper describes the development of a two-dimensional (2D) co-rotational nonlinear beam finite element that includes advanced path-following capabilities for detecting bifurcation instability in elasto-plasticity of steel elements subjected to fire without introducing imperfections. The advantage is twofold: i) no need to assume the magnitude of the imperfections and consequent reduction of the model complexity; ii) the presence of possible critical points is checked at each converged time step based on the actual load and stiffness distribution in the structure that is affected by the temperature field in the elements. In this way, the buckling modes at elevated temperature, that may be different from the ones at ambient temperature, can be properly taken into account. Moreover, an improved displacement predictor for estimating the displacement field allowed significant reduction of the computational cost. A co-rotational framework was exploited for describing the beam kinematic. In order to highlight the potential practical implications of the developed finite element, a parametric analysis was performed to investigate how the beam element compares both with the EN1993-1-2 buckling curve and with experimental tests on axially compressed steel members. Validation against experimental data and numerical outcomes obtained with commercial software is thoroughly described.

Water mist fire suppression systems which use relatively small droplets of water with high injection pressure are increasingly being used in wider applications because of its greater efficiency, low flooding damage and low toxicity. However, the performance of the system significantly relies on the water mist characteristics and it requires better understanding of fire suppression mechanism of water mist. In the present study, computational fluid dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate cooling performance of water mist in heated chamber. The gas phase was prepared with natural convection heat transfer model for incompressible ideal case and then the effects of water mist injection characteristics on cooling capabilities were investigated upon the basis of the pre-determined temperature field. For the simulation of water mist behavior, Lagrangian discrete phase model was employed by using a commercial code, FLUENT. Smaller droplet sizes, greater injection angles and higher flow rates provided relatively higher cooling performance.

In this study, jet fans are installed with 4 cases in the straight long tunnel; inlet-side setup, middle-side setup, outlet-side setup, and dispersion setup. A bus is selected as fired car, of which fire size is 20MW. And fired car locates at 100m, 700m, 1500m position from tunnel inlet, respectively. FLUENT, commercial finite-volume code, is used to analyze the performance. The velocity profile, $CO_2$ concentration, temperature distribution are examined for analysis. Performance of smoke control is compared by the backlayering length. Consequently, inlet-side setup of jet fans is a little more efficient than other cases considering the fire occurrence frequency in tunnel.
