Generally, the deterioration characteristics of a conductor affected by a forest fire can be analyzed through simulation of a forest fire and results of the simulation. However, there are little accomplishments of that kind of simulation applied to the power transmission, and there aren't actual analysis for a sample exposed in a forest fire. This paper deals with the experimental results that apply to a new wire by an artificial flame equipment because it's difficult to directly analyze the characteristic by a forest fire. Also, after an artificial flame is applied to a normal ACSR for various experimental conditions, changes of mechanical and material characteristics of the ACSR were analyzed by the surface inspection and load-tests of tensile of the ACSR. Then, the database will be made to made to predict the state of deteriorated wires by a forest fire using those two data, and data necessary to diagnose the life state of an ACSR wire affected by a forest fire will be given.

Numerical methods are applied to simulate the smoke behavior in a ventilated tunnel using large eddy simulation (LES) which is incorporated in FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) with proper combustion and radiation model. In this study, present numerical results are compared with data obtained from experiments on pool fires in a ventilated tunnel. The model tunnel is $182m(L){\times}5.4m(W){\times}2.4m(H)$. Two fire scenarios with different ventilation rates are considered with two different fire strengths. The present results are analyzed with those from LES without combustion and radiation model and from RANS ($\kappa-\epsilon$) model as well. Temperature distributions caused by fire in tunnel are compared with each other. It is found that thermal stratification and smoke back-layer can be predicted by FDS and the temperature predictions by FDS show better results than LES without combustion and radiation model. The FDS solver, however, failed to predict correct flow pattern when the high ventilation rate is considered in tunnel because of the defects in the tunnel-inlet turbulence and the near-wall turbulence.

Fire protection is one of important issues to ensure safety and reduce risks of nuclear power plants (NPPs). While robust programs to shut down commercial reactors in any fires have been successfully maintained, the concept and associated regulatory requirements are constantly changing or strengthening by lessons learned from operating experiences and information all over the world. As part of this context, it is necessary not only to establish specific fire hazard assessment methods reflecting the characteristics of research reactors and educational reactors but also to make decisions based on advancement encompassing numerical analyses and experiments. The objectives of this study are to address fire simulation in the control room of an educational reactor and to discuss integrity of digital console in charge of main operation as well as analysis results through comparison. Three electrical fire scenarios were postulated and twenty-four thermal analyses were carried out taking into account two turbulence models, two cable materials and two ventilation conditions. Twelve supplementary thermal analyses and six subsequent structural analyses were also conducted for further examination on the temperature and heat flux of cable and von Mises stress of digital console, respectively. As consequences, effects of each parameter were quantified in detail and future applicability was briefly discussed. On the whole, higher profiles were obtained when Deardorff turbulence model was employed or polyvinyl chloride material and larger ventilation condition were considered. All the maximum values considered in this study met the allowable criteria so that safety action seems available by sustained integrity of the cable linked to digital console within operators' reaction time of 300 s.

건물형태의 공간 내에서 발생한 고체연료 화재에 대해 Fire dynamics simulator (FDS)을 이용하여 설계화재곡선의 예측성능을 실험결과와 비교하여 평가하였다. FDS의 연소모델로서는 EDC 2-step mixing controlled를 적용하였으며 검토된 설계화재곡선들은 기존 연구들에서 제안한 2-stage design fire (TDF) 곡선, Quadratic 및 Exponential design fire 곡선들이다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 건물 내 연기 전파과정이 설계화재곡선에 많은 영향을 받는 것을 확인하였다. 설계화재곡선을 이용한 시뮬레이션은 건물 내 실험온도결과에 대해 합리적으로 예측하고 TDF가 가장 온도를 무난하게 예측하는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 각 설계화재곡선의 화학종 농도에 대한 예측은 실험과 충분히 예측하지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 이점은 본 연구에서 사용한 연소모델은 고체연료 화재에 대한 시뮬레이션에 적합하지 않음을 나타내며 고체연료의 예측에 대한 FDS 연소모델에 대한 연구가 추가적으로 필요해 보인다.

본 연구에서는 환경에너지 시설내 전자기기실 내부의 화재 및 피난을 수치적 해석 방법을 통해 실시하고 평가하였다. 화재 시뮬레이션은 FDS을 이용하여 가시거리, 온도분포, CO의 농도분포 등을 분석하였다. 그 결과를 토대로 피난시뮬레이션인 Pathfinder프로그램을 사용하여, 재실자들의 피난시간을 계산하였으며 피난안전성 평가를 도출하였다. 그 결과 전자기기실 내부의 피난 허용시간은 P-01에서 203.3 s로 가장 단시간 내에 대피가 요구되었으며, P-05에서 398.6 s로 피난 허용시간이 가장 큰 값을 나타내었다. 피난 소요시간 분석 결과 모든 지점에서 모든 재실 인원이 대피가 이루어져 대피자의 안전성이 확보되는 것으로 판단되었다. 특히 이 시뮬레이션의 결과는 피난안전성능을 높이기 위하여 소방설비가 작동하지 않는 경우를 고려한 것으로서 실제 화재 발생 시 소방설비가 작동된다면 보다 우수한 안전을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Recent years have seen a notable increase in fire incidents in university cafeterias, yet the social attention to these occurrences remains limited. Despite quick responses to these incidents preventing loss of life, the need for large-scale evacuation in such high foot traffic areas can cause significant disruptions, economic losses, and panic among students. The potential for stampedes and unpredictable damage during inadequate evacuations underscores the importance of fire safety and evacuation research in these settings. Previous studies have explored evacuation models in various university environments, emphasizing the influence of environmental conditions, personal characteristics, and behavioral patterns on evacuation efficiency. However, research specifically focusing on university cafeterias is scarce. This paper addresses this gap by employing Pathfinder software to analyze fire spread and evacuation safety in a university cafeteria. Pathfinder, an advanced emergency evacuation assessment system, offers realistic 3D simulations, crucial for intuitive and scientific evacuation analysis. The studied cafeteria, encompassing three floors and various functional areas, often exceeds a capacity of 1500 people, primarily students, during peak times. The study includes constructing a model of the cafeteria in Pathfinder and analyzing evacuation scenarios under different fire outbreak conditions on each floor. The paper sets standard safe evacuation criteria (ASET > RSET) and formulates three distinct evacuation scenarios, considering different fire outbreak locations and initial evacuation times on each floor. The simulation results reveal the impact of the fire's location and the evacuation preparation time on the overall evacuation process, highlighting that fires on higher floors or longer evacuation preparation times tend to reduce overall evacuation time.In conclusion, the study emphasizes a multifaceted approach to improve evacuation safety and efficiency in educational settings. Recommendations include expanding staircase widths, optimizing evacuation routes, conducting regular drills, strengthening command during evacuations, and upgrading emergency facilities. The use of information and communication technology for managing emergencies is also suggested. These measures collectively form a comprehensive framework for ensuring safety in educational institutions during fire emergencies.

본 연구는 공동주택에 일반적으로 설치하는 열감지기와 스프링클러헤드의 작동에 관한 문제점과 개선 대책을 제시한 연구이다. 2010년 인구주택 조사에 의하면, 공동주택은 전체 주거시설의 71.6%이며 최근 7년간 소방방재청의 화재통계 자료에 의하면, 매년 전체 화재의 약 25.0%, 인명피해는 46.4%가 공동주택에서 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공동주택의 화재안전에 대한 개선대책을 수립하기 위하여 화재원인과 특성을 파악하였고, 국내 공동주택의 대표적인 평형을 대상으로 가상화재시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 가상화재시뮬레이션의 시나리오는 기존 공동주택에 설치된 표준형 스프링클러헤드와 열감지기, 최근에 설치가 요구되는 주거전용 스프링클러헤드와 연기감지기의 작동시간 등을 비교 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 수행결과 기존 공동주택에 설치된 표준형 스프링클러헤드와 열감지기는 감지 및 작동시간이 늦어 조기화재진압에 불리한 것으로 나타났으므로 주거전용 스프링클러헤드와 연기 열복합형감지기로 교체 설치하는 것이 필요하다. 또한, 기존 공동주택 중 스프링클러소화설비의 설치가 제외된 층에도 스프링클러소화설비 설치를 고려해야 한다. 특히, 공동주택 안전관리의 효율화를 위하여 선진국과 같이 원격으로 주거공간의 소방시설을 점검할 수 있도록 시스템을 구축할 필요가 있다.

In this paper, the methodology to predict the number of deaths and possible fire propagation scenarios will be described in case of fire on a train in a tunnel. We use a probabilistic analysis method for the evaluation of possibility for each scenario and the deaths tolls are calculated with the help of the passenger evacuation simulation program. The resulting safety of passengers is displayed on a F/N graph, which could be used in part as a guideline to predict the safety level of the tunnel in fire.

철도 승강장의 매점은 현재 신문판매대, 표준 간이매점, 간이매점(복권방)등의 형태로 운영되고 있다. 따라서 신문이나 잡지등은 쉽게 불에 붙기 때문에 화재의 발화원이 되며, 대구 지하철 화재사고와 마찬가지로 방화의 대상이 될 수 있다. 따라서 지하철 승강장 매점화재 방지를 위하여 매점화재 시뮬레이션 기법 정립이 필요하고 이를 통한 화재방재예측능력이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 매점화재 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고 수행된 해석결과는 매점지하철 승강장 매점화재 실험결과와 비교 고찰을 통하여 해석의 신뢰도를 검토하였다.
