강재는 단면의 종류와 크기 및 부재에 따라 화재에 노출되는 표면적이 달라지며, 이에 따라 화재에 의한 강재의 온도상승도 큰 차이를 나타낸다. 단면형상계수($H_p$/A)는 강재의 종류, 크기, 적용부재 및 내화피복재의 종류 등의 변수에 따라 결정되며, 이것은 내화피복 두께를 결정하는 기준이 된다. 본 연구를 통하여 강재는 종류에 관계없이 단면의 크기가 증가할수록 단면형상계수는 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 단면형상계수에 따른 강재의 종류별 내화피복 두께 산정 결과 1시간 내화성능은 기준보다 소요 두께가 30~50% 낮게 나타났다. 또한, 2시간 내화성능은 기준보다 소요 두께가 최저 27% 낮게 산정되는 부재도 있으나 대체로 기준에 근접하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 H형강의 경우 3시간 내화성능은 대체로 기준을 만족하지만 각형강관과 원형강관의 경우 5.0~17.5% 정도 기준을 상회하는 값으로 나타났다.

Ultra-high strength concrete (UHSC) encased steel columns are receiving growing interest in high-rise buildings owing to their economic and architectural advantages. However, UHSC encased steel columns are not covered by the modern fire safety design code. A total of 14 fire tests are conducted on UHSC (120 MPa) encased steel columns under constant axial loads and exposed to ISO-834 standard fire. The effect of load ratio, slenderness, stirrup spacing, cross-section size and concrete cover to core steel on the fire resistance and failure mode of the specimens are investigated. The applicability of the tabulated method in EC4 (EN 1994-1-2-2005) and regression formula in Chinese code (DBJ/T 15-81-2011) to fire resistance of UHSC encased steel columns are checked. Generally, the test results reveal that the vertical displacement-heating time curves can be divided into two phases, i.e. thermal expansion and shortening to failure. It is found that the fire resistance of column specimens increases with the increase of the cross-section size and concrete cover to core steel, but decreases with the increase of the load ratio and slenderness. The EC4 method overestimates the fire resistance up to 186% (220 min), while the Chinese code underestimates it down to 49%. The Chinese code has a better agreement than EC4 with the test results since the former considers the effect of the load ratio, slenderness, cross section size directly in its empirical formula. To estimate the fire resistance precisely can improve the economy of structural fire design of ultra-high strength concrete encased steel columns.

The objective of the present study is to develop a model to predict heat and gas flow movement by fire in a tunnel. The model includes component models such as turbulence model, combustion model, fire model, jet fan model, etc. It has been validated using the data from Memorial Tunnel Fire Ventilation Test Program. The predictions are in good quantitative agreement with the experimental data in the far-field region of the tunnel. It should be further investigated to develop models for radiation between surfaces, for composite boundary conditions for conduction and convection, and for vigorous turbulent mixing in a tunnel especially for a large size of fire.

실제 터널화재에서의 위험성을 평가하기 위하여, 국내에서 최초로 실물터널 화재실험이 수행되었다. 길이 465m의 터널에서 0.25MW에서 2.5MW까지의 가솔린 풀과 1500cc승용차를 화원으로 사용하였으며, 터널내의 유속을 조정하기 위하여 6대의 제트팬을 설치하였다. 터널내의 온도분포와 연기거동을 살펴보기 위하여 총 86곳의 온도를 측정하였다. 다양한 조건에서의 풀화재와 자동차 화재의 성상을 비교하였으며, 실험 결과 각종 화재 조건에서의 연기의 역류, 하강, 터널 내 온도분포 등과 같은 실제 터널 화재상황에서 피해에 영향을 미치는 각종 인자들을 파악하였다.

In this study, smoke movement in tunnel fire with natural ventilation shaft has been investigated with various size of fire source. Gasoline pool fire with different size of diameter - 73mm, 100mm, 125mm and 154mm - was used to describe fire source. Experimental data is obtained with 1/20 model tunnel test and its results are compared with numerical results. The computation were carried out using FDS 1.0 which is a field model of fire-driven now. Temperature profiles between measured and predicted data are compared along ceiling and near the ventilation shaft. Both results are in good agreement with each other. In order to evaluating a safe egress time in tunnel fire, horizontal smoke front velocity was measured in model tunnel fire tests and those are compared with numerical results. According to the presence or absence of natural ventilation shaft, ventilation effect are estimated quantitatively. Finally, this paper shows that computational fluid dynamics(CFD) is applicable to predict fire-induced flow in tunnel.

A series of experiments were conducted to study the effectiveness of the extinction of a liquid pool fire with two different water atomizing nozzles. Fire source is small-scale circular stainless steel pan of 120mm in diameter with the fuels of hexane and ethanol. K-type thermocouples were used to measure the flame and fuel temperature along the pool centerline and under fuel surface. A digital camera was used to visualize the process of the fire suppression. The experimental results show that water mist droplet size is $115{\sim}180{\mu}m$ with nozzle A and $130{\sim}190{\mu}m$ with nozzle B. The extinguishing time of pool fire was reduced with the increase of pressure. When water droplets are small, they do not reach the flame base since they may be deflected or evaporated by the fire plume. However, influence of flow rate is more important than droplet size on fire extinction. Among the fire extinction mechanisms, drop of flame temperature is superior to suffocation of O2 concentration.

Actual fire test under a laboratory and fire simulation by using computer are considered into main methodology in order to estimate and predict fire size of railway train. Even if practical fire size could be obtained from the full-model railway car test such as a large scale cone-calorimeter test, it is not always possible and realistic due to that expensive cost and attendant dangers could in no way be negligible. In this point of view, fire simulation analysis method based on the computational fluid dynamics could be proposed as an alternative and it seems to be also efficient and reasonable. However, simulation results have to be verified and validated in accordance with the proper procedure including comparing analysis with the actual fire test. In this paper, fire load and growth aspect was investigated through the room corner test (ISO 9705) for the mock-up model of the actual railway car. Then, it was compared with the output data derived from the simulation by using Pyrolysis Model of the FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator, by NIST) for the exact same domain and condition corresponding with pre-performed room-corner test. This preliminary verified and validated fire modeling method could enhance the reliability of output data derived from the fire simulation under the similar domain and condition.

K-type thermocouples were used to measure the flame and fuel temperature along the pool centerline and under fuel surface. A digital camera was used to visualize the process of the fire suppression. The experimental results show that water mist droplet size is l15∼180${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with nozzle A and 130∼190${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with nozzle B. The extinguishing time of pool fire was reduced with the increase of pressure. When water droplets are small, they do not reach the flame base since they may be deflected or evaporated by the fire plume. However, influence of flow rate is more important than droplet size on fire extinction. Among the fire extinction mechanisms, drop of flame temperature is superior to suffocation of $O_2$ concentration.

An experimental investigation was earned out to evaluate the fire performance of high strength concrete column made with different section size. Two different high strength concrete columns measuring 3,428mm in height and with the same tie spacing of 150mm were prepared to evaluate the effect of section size of $305{\times}305mm$ and $500{\times}500mm$ on the fire resistance. Compressive strength was 138MPa at the time of fire resistance fire testing. Based on the test result, fire resistance of column with the larger section of $500{\times}500mm$ exhibited the better performance than that of the smaller section of $305{\times}305mm$. The former withstood against the very high temperature over 240minutes, while the latter resisted during 176minutes.

In this study, analysis of water mist behavior is performed using numerical simulation. Water mist is characterized by the droplet flow which is one of the multiphase flows and is discrete fluid droplets in continuous air. It is important to choose the proper diameter of droplet-size and the distance between the fire location and the position of water mist because it depends on the buoyancy from fire. Therefore the behavior of water mist with fire should be simulated by FLUENT, a commercial computational fluid dynamics(CFD) program, with Lagrangian discrete phase model. (DPM)
