2016년 6월 영국 그렌펠 타워 화재는 외단열에 의한 수직화재확산으로 인한 대표적인 피해사례이다. 외단열 공법에서 많이 사용되는 유기단열재는 단열성능이 좋은 반면 화재에 취약한 단점이 있다. 알루미늄 복합패널을 외벽 마감재로 사용하는 외단열 공법에서 알루미늄 내부에 사용되는 플라스틱은 수직 화재확산의 원인으로 지목되고 있다. 알루미늄복합패널을 외벽에 고정하기 위해 사용되는 철재 프레임 때문에 외벽과 외벽 마감재 사이에 중공층이 형성된다. 외벽에 화재가 발생하면 가연성외벽의 연소뿐만 아니라 단열재로부터 발생된 화염이 중공층을 통해 수직으로 급격히 확산되어 인명 및 재산피해가 발생할 수 있다. 국내의 경우 국토교통부고시 2015 - 744에 의한 소재단위 성능시험이 수행되고 있으며, 영국에서는 실제 규모의 화재시험으로 외벽의 수직화재확산 시간의 측정이 가능한 BS8414 시험이 시행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현행 국내 고시 기준으로 적합한 준불연 소재의 알루미늄복합패널을 대상으로 영국에서 시행되고 있는 실규모 외벽화재시험(BS 8414)을 수행하여 수직화재확산에 대한 거동 관찰과 현재 마감재료의 소재단위 평가의 한계를 확인하고자 하며, 실제 규모의 화재 시험을 통한 외벽화재 화재확산 방지를 위한 시스템 도입 필요성 확인하고자 한다.

It can be meaningful that this study attempted to analyze the use cases and forms based on the literature on the painting walls of the J oseon Dynasty, and attempted basic research to prevent disaster damage using traditional elements. This study summarizes the use of the Hwabangbyeok wall of J oseon Dynasty as follows. First, Hwabangbyeok wall was used from the early J oseon Dynasty and was adopted by palaces and other major state facilities to cope with fire and theft. Second, the Hwabangbyeok Wall was also referred to as the wall below the lower part of the wall, and was constructed with the purpose of preventing disasters from outside. Third, in an analysis of the Daeseongjeon shrine of Hyanggyo, many construction cases were identified mainly in the Gyeonggi area, which is assumed to be based on production and construction conditions along with local climatic factors. Fourth, it can be said that the Hwabangbyeok wall was basically adopted to prevent comprehensive disaster risk reduction in case of external intrusion and fire.

In this paper, we studied on the fire dispersive patterns and the fire progress at the power cord sets for low voltage appliances in the wall-model. For the experiment, we manufactured a wall-model and applied the external flame at the power cord sets. From the results, short-circuit of the power cord sets was haunted by the external flame it was disconnected with the flashing and the scattering. The fire progress on the polyvinyl chloride insulated flexibel cords is not observed because the ignition energy decreases. In case of rubber insulated flexible cords, however, the fire was progressed continuously. Molten marks were formed at a two electric wire by continuous electric discharge in power source part. A large molten mark was formed in load part. And the columnar structure and voids were observed in molten wire.

In this study, temperature characteristics and fire damage form were analyzed to investigate flame spreading form and fire probability from ignition sources subject to drivit component materials which is finishing material in architecture. Ignition sources were limited to a gas torch and exterior panel board fire, and the size of the sample was manufacture in 30 cm length ${\times}$ 50 cm height ${\times}$ 5cm thickness size. Marble (inner wall) + 3 mm drivit (outer wall), marble (inner wall) + 4 mm plaster stone (outer wall), sandwich panel + 3 mm driver bit (outer wall), sandwich panel + 3 mm driver bit + insulation (outer wall), and gypsum board (inner wall) + 3 mm drivit (outer wall) were prepared for the sample. As result of the research for temperature characteristics, large temperature difference by each material was shown in $218^{\circ}C{\sim}995^{\circ}C$ at 30 seconds and $501^{\circ}C{\sim}1078^{\circ}C$ at 300 seconds. Especially when the inner wall was a plaster board, lowest temperature of $501^{\circ}C$ was shown at 300 seconds and marble inner wall showed the following lowest temperature of $900^{\circ}C$. Temperature rising over $1000^{\circ}C$ was shown in other materials. Regarding fire damage form, drivit or gypsum board outer wall parts exposed to fire showed combustion and carbonization to show calcination(breaking phenomenon) and influence of heat exposure was higher as calcination became more severe.

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 this study is to study the safety of a small LPG storage tank with a capacity less than 3 ton when it is exposed to an external fire. First, simulation studies were carried out using ASPEN Plus and PHAST to demonstrate that overpressurization in the tank can be relieved by discharging the LPG through an adequately sized safety valve, but the release may lead to the secondary risk of fire and explosion around the tank. Next, the temporal variations of the temperatures of the lading and tank wall were obtained using AFFTAC, which showed that the tank wall adjacent to the vapor space could be overheated in about 11 min to such a point that the weakened strength might cause a rupture of the tank and subsequent BLEVE. The consequences of the BLEVE were estimated using PHAST. Finally, several practical measures for preventing the hazards of overheating were suggested, including an anti-explosion device, sprinkling system, insulation, heat-proof coating, and enhanced safety factor for tank fabrication. The effectiveness of these measures were examined by simulations using AFFTAC and ASPEN Plus.

The electrical fire frequently happens through carelessness of a vinyl and rubber cords such as a poor contact, a mechanical stress and so on. Electrical fire occupies the greater part(about 30%) of all fires in Korea. In this paper, we compared to the fire dispersive patterns of vinyl and rubber cords according to the external flame in the wall-model. The fire progress and dispersive patterns were measured by a high speed imaging system(HG-100K, REDLAKE, USA). From the results, short-circuit of the vinyl cords are easy to happen than the rubber cords by the external flame. The pattern of fire was progressed a flashover, scattering and disconnection. The fire progress on the vinyl cord is not observed because the ignition energy decreases. However, the fire was progressed continuously on the rubber cord.

The objective of this study is to verify the safety in case of fire and change of residential environment for different wall construction approaches in a stairways apartment house. In order to confirm that case_1, which is current case that most of wall is opened and the case 2, which upper part of wall is limitedly opened are compared and analyzed based on simulations of fire, escape and natural ventilation performance. The analysis reveals that possible escape time for case 1 was more than 600 seconds and for case 2 was 195 seconds. Since the escape times for both cases were over 128 seconds, it would be reasonable to assume that every resident would escape. The simulation results on natural ventilation performance shows the air change per hour of case 1 and case 2 were .19n/h and .16n/h and there was 1.2 times difference. However, the difference was too insignificant and it could be seen as that different approaches on wall construction would not significantly influence on natural ventilation performance.

The aluminum composite panel are widely used for the external materials of high rise building because of well insulation of heat and sound and improved Constructability. However, the polyethylene in main material of the aluminum composite panel shows weakness in thermal and fire resistances. For this reason, flame is spread more quickly when the fire break out. Therefore, the potentiality of fire spread to the exterior wall is high due to difficulty of early extinguishment and effect of external air. In this study, numerical investigation was performed by using FDS program for flame spread characteristics with various external air velocity and direction in ten-story building with the aluminum composite external materials. As a result, the flame spread velocity is 0.134m/s and it takes 224 seconds for flames to spread to the 10th floor without external air velocity. however, the flame spread velocity decreases 40% and it takes 348 seconds for flames to spread to the 10th floor when external air velocity is 2.5 m/s. and air direction is little effect compared to air velocity.
