  • 최근 고시원은 저렴한 방값을 원하는 저소득층의 서민들이 주거하는 공간으로서 불특정 다수가 사용하므로 방화의 위험성을 안고 있다. 본 조사는 이 위험성을 검토하기 위해 SIMULEX 실험을 통하여 고시원 화재시 피난행동을 간접적으로 확인 하고 대비 하는데 도움이 되고자한다. 모형실험 결과 재실자들이 1층 출구 대피시 병목현상을 보였지만 연기의 유동은 위로 상승하기 때문에 3층 재실자들의 빠른 대피가 있다면 인명피해는 없을 것으로 판단된다. 만약 이번 실험 조건이 사람들의 인지능력이 떨어지는 시간 조건을 주고 대피시간이 늦는다면 4, 5층의 재실자는 연기의 빠른 확산으로 인해 많은 인명피해가 발생할 수도 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • 최근 건축물은 초고층화 대형화 지하심층화 등으로 변모하고, 더나아가 복합화가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 건축물은 화재 발생 시 기존의 건축물보다 큰 인재로서 다가오며, 특히 연기로 인한 피해가 주를 이루고 있다. 하지만 국내의 경우 연기의 피해에 따른 피난용량설정 및 계획 등에 관한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 이에 대하여 일본의 BRI2002 모델의 알고리즘분석에 따른 피난 안전과의 연계성 방안을 도출하여, 향후 국내의 연기를 중심으로한 피난용량설정방안에 대하여 서술하였다.

  • 전 세계적으로 수많은 고층 건축물이 건설되고 있다. 건축물의 높이가 높아질수록 비상시 필요로 하는 유효 피난길이와 총 피난시간은 점점 길어진다. 일반적으로 건축물에서의 피난은 지상층의 안전한 공간으로 대피하는 것을 의미하는데 고층 또는 초고층 건축물의 대규모 수직적 공간에서는 하향식 피난뿐만 아니라 상향식 피난도 고려되어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 고층 아파트 1개소를 선정하여 수직적 이동방향에 따른 실물 피난실험을 실시하여 피난특성을 관찰하였다. 본 실험에서 피난자 개개인의 특성을 파악하기 위해 피난자들이 지상층에 도착하자마자 설문조사를 실시하여 피난행동간 개인 고유의 행동데이터를 수집하였고 이를 PASW 18을 활용하여 통계적 해석을 실시하였다.

  • In this study, new types of counter electrode discharge cells for PDP were designed. The counter electrode discharge cells were designed to realize long-gap discharge mode, low firing voltage and moderate conductance for evacuation and sealing process of the panel. In order to test the concept of the design, macro discharge cells were prepared and the discharge characteristics were evaluated. The results indicate that discharge behavior may be modified significantly by changing the morphology of discharge cells.

  • The 2005 west off Fukuoka earthquake with Mjma 7.0 occurred in the vicinity of Fukuoka city with 1.4 million populations, which had been regarded as rather seismically inactive in Japan. The strong motion records by K-net indicated PGV of 64 cm/s in Fukuoka city and some condominium buildings sustained extensive non-structural damages. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey for residents of 8 condominium buildings located in the downtown area of Fukuoka city after the earthquake. The results indicate that damaged nonstructural walls and distorted doors disrupted evacuation route for many occupants, and furniture and content damage on upper floors became severer resulting in higher rates of human casualty. Earthquake preparedness for indoor safety was raised after the earthquake, though further safety measures can be advised. In the phase of post-earthquake emergency and restoration period, residents' management organizations play important roles, so that neighborhood activities to promote communication networks are important in urban environment with aging population.

  • We measured the thermal conductivity of composite materials manufactured by the autoclave and vacuum bag only processes and predicted the cure behavior of the external and internal of composite parts with a cure kinetics model. The temperature difference between the external and internal depends on the processes because of the change of thermal conductivity. In the autoclave process, the temperature and cure behavior of the internal were similar to those of the external because of the high thermal conductivity. However, the temperature of the internal of the vacuum bag only process was different from that of the external. The difference can influence the part quality and evacuation of air. Compression tests were performed to find the mechanical property using 0° unidirectional specimens. The composite of the vacuum bag only process was found to have a lower compressive strength than that of the autoclave process.

  • The purpose of this study is to suggest the development direction of fire safety through the analysis of previous researches in the field of fire fighting. To this end, 929 papers published in the Journal of Korean Institute of Fire Science and Engineering have been sorted by field of study and analyzed for frequency. Accordingly, it was confirmed that researches were conducted in the order of fire chemistry and physics, detection and extinguishing system, fire safety design and management, evacuation and human behavior. In contrast, very little research has been conducted on human behavior, fire safety education, or training. This result is discussed in the article, and suggestions for future research objectives are made.

  • The purposes of this study were to examine the coping behavior of the elderly in the warning phase of disaster and to explore factors influencing the coping behavior of the elderly. Data were collected from 130 senior citizens aged over 60 who are residing in Pyungchang and Injae of Kangwon province which had damaged by flood disaster in 2006. Perry & Lindell (1997)'s index, a series of six categories that represent coping behaviors which progressively approximate the action of evacuating in the warning phase of disasters was used. Results showed that respondents have high coping skills. Although Activities of Daily Living (ADL) has positive influence on the coping behavior, length of residence has negative effect on the coping behavior of the elderly. This finding proves the elderly are not uncompliant or uncooperative population in the warning phase of disaster. This result also emphasizes the importance of rapid and accurate giving of public warning system of disaster and necessity of prior notification of useful information about natural disaster and effective evacuation plan for the elderly.

  • I. Introduction : The constipation is one of the common gastrointestinal symptoms seen in the clinical practice. When people come to the clinic complaining of the constipation, it is generally one of the cases of infrequent, painful or difficult evacuation as well as the hardened feces and unsatisfactory evacuation sense. Since the constipation is heavily influenced by dietary habit as well as the social and medical environment, the diagnostic radiology is useful to establish the objective and standardized definition in consideration of those various factors before diagnosis and treatment of the constipation patient. This paper describes the study of such diagnosis. II. Main Subject : Testing of CTT (colon transit time) is key study of the colon performance. CTT is very helpful in classifying the pathologic physiological types and defining the treatment plan for the chronic constipation. The study methods include using the radipaque marker, multiple marker technique and scintigraphic measurement. The defecography is the functional radiologic examination a that provides not only the anatomical information of anorectal but also performance of the pelvic floor and rectal change during evacuation. Study of dynamic movement of the anorectal during evacuation is helpful for diagnosis and treatment planning as well as follow-up testing for the constipation patient. One of the issues essential for the case history is the thorough observation of whether the patient shows the psychic psychological symptoms such as the behavior disorder or emotional disturbance. In that case, the decision must be made whether or which type of medication is needed for such psychiatric problem. III. Conclusion : The main causes of the constipation are insufficient intake of fiber or liquid. The key objective of such tests is to check etiology of the constipation. In general, the radiological examination does not provde the colon or anorectal performance information. It is envisaged that this study will provide the information to decide the testing and treatment plans and predict the prognosis of the patient by classifying the pathologic physiological types.

  • This paper describes the smoke filling process of a fire field model based on a self-deve-loped SMEP (Smoke Movement Estimating Program) code to the simulation of fire induced flows in the two types of atrium space containing a ceiling heat flux. The SMEP using PISO algorithm solves conservation equations for mass, momentum, energy and species, together with those for the modified k-$\varepsilon$ turbulence model with buoyancy production term. Also it solves the radiation equation using the discrete ordinates method. Compressibility is assumed and the perfect gas law is used. Comparison of the calculated upper-layer average tempera-ture and smoke layer clear height with the zone models has shown reasonable agreement. The zone models used are the CFAST and the NBTC one-room. For atrium fires with ceiling glass the ceiling heat flux by solar heat causes a high smoke temperature near the ceiling. However, it has no effect on the smoke movement such as the smoke layer clear heights that are important in fire safety. In conclusion, the smoke layer clear heights that are important in evacuation activity except the early of a fire were not as sensitive as the smoke layer tem-perature to the nature of ceiling heat flux condition. Thus, a fire sensor in atrium with ceiling glass has to consider these phenomena.
