  • 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.

  • 최근 사용하는 소방배관의 현장 시공에 사용되는 공법 및 부속을 살펴보면 정통방식의 부속연결 방식, Tee 가공방식, 분기관 방식을 사용하고 있다. 이 방식 중 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 방식은 Tee가공 방식과 분기관 방식으로 이는 우리나라의 소방배관 시설의 규모로 보았을 때 부속과 공법이 미흡하다 할 수 있다. 기존의 공법은 현장 적용성이 떨어지고 화재안전 성능이 미흡하다 할 수 있으며 사회가 발달 하며 건축물의 형태가 다양해지고 초고층화가 이루어지고 있는 과정에서 본 연구에서는 현재사용 하고 있는 공법의 분석과 새로운 소방배관 부속을 개발 하려 한다.

  • As for the performance related to a fire safety like fire resistance efficiency and evacuation safety etc. It is the ain of this study to investigate the comparative survey of expression methods for fire safety performance in Korea and Japan. The results of this study that there are so difference between Japan and Korea and suggests that the necessity for converting the fire risk calculated by an advanced technique into a simple expression.

  • We studied on corrosion of sprinklers system fire protection, a cause on corrosion of fire installations and a source of the problem. We investigated the influence of fluid mechanics on the corrosion shape of sprinklers system fire protection installations. And we known a problem of early fire extinguishing in fire protection with corrosion.
