Today's building and fire prevention codes are mostly prescriptive. Prescriptive codes are based on major fires in earlier years that created a need for specific building provision. These codes provide a minimum level of safety. As the general and engineering uses of computers have increased over the years, so has use of computers in the fire protection engineering. This has allowed fire protection engineers to develop alternative approaches to solve today's fire protection problems or to evaluate the performance of a specific fire safety goal. A performance based approach to building and fire codes involves the following: 1) identifying specific goals, such as, safely getting out of the building in 10 minutes, 2) obtain conceptual approval from authorities, 3) define performance level, 4) develop design solutions and identify tools such as, fire tests, models, or methods, to demonstrate that a design will meet the fire protection objective 5) test solutions, 6) present test method and results to the authorities. Some people in the fire protection community consider this to be nothing more than an intellectual exercise, while the others view it as a way to reduce expenses on large project$^4$ Others in fire protection community view this as a way to refine the design process to design fire protection systems to better protect the fire hazards. This paper will focus on application of these tools, specifically computer fire models, to actual cases such as: design of a smoke control system heat transfer analysis and egress of building occupants during potential fires.

UAE(United Arab Emirates) 원전(원자력발전소)의 수출을 목적으로 UAE, 미국, 일본, 한국의 원전 화재방호규정을 상호 비교 검토하였다. UAE를 포함하여 미국, 일본의 원전 화재방호규정은 화재하중에 따른 화재위험도 분석결과에 따라 소화설비를 설치하도록 규정하고 있다. 반면, 우리나라는 소방관계법에서 원전을 발전시설로 구분하고 있으나, 원자력법에서는 원자로 및 관계시설로 분류하고 있고, 각 법률간 화재방호 설계기준도 상이하다. 앞으로 우리나라가 원전 수출국의 지위를 계속적인 유지하기 위해서는 화재 위험도분석의 결과가 설계에 반영될 수 있어야 한다. 결론으로, 국내 소방관계법이 원전의 특수성을 반영하기 위해서는 소방시설공사업법 시행령 제2조 2항의 성능위주설계를 해야 할 특정소방대상물에 원전이 추가되어야 함을 제안하였다.

Performance based design is a recent evolutionary step in the process of designing fire protection systems. In essence, it is a logical design process resulting in a solution that achieves a specified performance. Sometimes the prescriptive solutions presented in various codes and standards are too expensive or inflexible. Often the solutions do not and enables optimization of a solution for cost and function. In this study, performance based design was carried out to determine the extent of passive fire protection for oil terminal facilities. The results of performance based design were compared with those of prescriptive code based design. Performance based design is not always more economic than prescriptive code based design but provides more reliable and effective design that is fit for the purpose.

This paper presents a plan and guidelines that were drawn for Korean based research carried out on the fire-resistance of CFT columns. This research was carried out by reviewing the Korean regulations related to the fire-resistance of CFT columns and examining studies which had been made in Korea as well as overseas. The first phase of the study plan was to compare the fire-resistance of square CFT columns without fire protection (obtained through fire-resistance tests and numerical analyses) with estimated values (obtained through fire-resistance design formulas proposed in Korea and overseas). This comparison provided conclusions as outlined below. Fire-resistance tests conducted in this study proved that, when the actual design load is taken into consideration, square CFT columns without fire protection are able to resist a fire for more than one hour. A comparison was made of test and analysis results with the fire-resistance time based on the AIJ code, the AISC design formula and the estimation formula suggested for Korea. The results of this comparison showed that the test and analysis results for specimens SAH1, SAH2-1, SAH2-2 and SAH3 were almost identical with the AIJ code, the AISC design formula and estimation formula. For specimens SAH4 and SAH5, the estimation formula was more conservative than the AIJ code and the AISC design formula. It was necessary to identify the factors that have an influence on the fire-resistance of CFT columns without fire protection and to draw fire-resistance design formulas for these columns. To achieve this, it is proposed that numerical analyses and tests be conducted in order to evaluate the fire-resistance of circular CFT columns, the influence of eccentricity existing as an additional factor and the influence of the slenderness ratio of the columns. It is also suggested that the overall behavior of CFT structures without fire protection within a fire be evaluated through analysis simulation.

건축물의 내화성능은 화재의 피해를 최소화하기 위해 요구되고 있으며, 건축물의 용도 및 층수 등에 따라 일률적으로 정해지고 있으나, 실제 발생되는 건축물 화재의 크기와 구조부재의 응력, 변형은 매우 다양한 조건에 의해 달라진다. 스웨덴, 영국, 뉴질랜드, 호주 및 일본 등의 국가에서는 건축물의 화재크기에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 여러 변수를 공학적인 수단을 활용하여 구조체 안전성을 평가하는 공학적 내화설계를 사용하고 있다. 본 논문은 공학적 내화설계의 경제적 효과를 검증하기 위하여 21층의 철골조 공동주택을 공학적 내화설계와 사양적 내화설계에 의한 내화피복비용을 비교분석하였으며, 그 결과 공학적 내화설계절차에 의한 철골조 아파트의 기둥부재 및 보부재는 무내화피복으로 내화성능을 만족하였으며, 내화피복비용 절감효과는 약 90% 수준으로 나타났다.

As building heights increase, so do these challenges in Korea. High-rise buildings present a variety of challenges to fire safety and protection. The fire protection technology in our country is still on a weak situation which is mainly due to the lack of concerns by the government, companies and citizen. This paper provides general guidance regarding fire-related property protection system for high-rise building performance based design. The importance of high-rise building in of the number of occupants, the value of property, and the a catastrophic loss would have on the community all warrant an increased level of protection and life safety. Because, We have to prepare a new spacial code and standard guidance for fire protection at the stage of the high-rise building design.

해양플랜트의 설계는 위험요인을 정량적 위험성평가를 통해 계량화하여 그 결과를 설계에 반영하는 것이 일반화되어 있다. 대표적인 위험요소인 화재 위험에 대해서도 이는 마찬가지다. 계량화된 화재 위험에 대해 작업자들이 탈출하는 동안 안전설비의 기능을 유지하고 발생된 화재가 더 크게 전이(escalation)되는 것을 방지하는 것이 방화대책의 궁극적인 목적이다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 방화대책인 능동방화대책과 수동방화대책의 적용사례를 살펴보고 수동방화대책의 설계기법들을 소개한다. 수동방화대책은 효과적인 방화기법이지만 초기 투자비가 많이 소요되고 운용과 유지보수에 애로사항이 크다. 따라서, 최근 들어 발주자들은 수동방화대책을 최적화하도록 해양플랜트 설계자에게 요청하는 추세이다.

현재의 화재안전기준에서 규정하는 화재감지기의 배치방법은 면적에 따라 규정된 숫자를 적정하게 배치하는 수준이다. 이 기준은 과학적인 근거는 가지고 있지 못하다. 외국의 기준을 도입하여 그에 따라서 설치하고 있을 뿐이다. 소방시설을 설계하는 방법에는 화재안전기준과 같이 명문화 된 규정에 따르는 규범위주설계(Prescriptive-based)와 화재역학, 구조역학, 재료역학, 유체역학, 열역학 등 공학적 지식을 바탕으로 하는 성능위주설계(Performance-based design)가 있다. 현재로서는 성능위주설계가 활성화 되지 않았지만, 최근 소방시설공사업법은 성능위주설계방법을 이용하여 소방시설을 설계 할 수 있도록 개정('05. 8. 4)되었으며 그 시행령('07, 1. 24)에서 성능위주설계를 적용할 특정소방대상물의 범위를 정하고 있다. 이러한 시점에서 자동화재탐지설비의 화재감지기를 최적의 위치 및 거리에 설치하기 위하여 그에 대한 공식의 도입과 공식을 Software로 계산할 수 있도록 시뮬레이터를 제작하여 계산하고 규범위주설계에 따라 배치한 화재감지기의 상태와 비교 분석하며 향후 성능위주설계 방법으로서 정착시키기 위하여 연구를 시도하였다.

In this paper, provisions related with the seismic design and equipments of fire protection system are being considered. The provisions from various international codes on seismic design fire protection system were reviewed. The codes, reviewed are, Japanese code, NFPA guideline and Korean code. It is noted that all the codes excepted to korean code consider earthquake effect to evaluate seismic forces and behaviors. But, korean provision are not covered in seismic response in all. A brief description on limitations in korean code is also presented.
