Fire performance and fire safety of high-rise buildings have become major concerns after the disasters of World Trade Center in the U.S. in 2001 and Windsor tower in Spain in 2005. Performance based design (PBD) approaches have been considered as a better method for fire resistance design of structures because it is capable of incorporating test results of most recent fire resistance technologies. However, there is a difficulty to evaluate fireproof performance of large structures, which have multiple structural members such as columns, slabs, and walls. The difficulty is mainly due to the limitation in the testing equipment, such as size of furnace that can be used to carry out fire tests with existing criteria like ISO 834, BS 476, and KS F 2257. In the present research, a large scale calorie meter (10 MW) was used to conduct three full scale fire tests on medical modular blocks. Average fire load of 13.99 $kg/m^2$ was used in the first test. In the second test, the weighting coefficient of 3.5 (the fire load of 50 $kg/m^2$) was used to simulate the worst fire scenario. The flashover of the medical modular block occurred at 62 minutes in the first test and 12 minutes in the second test. The heat resistance capacity of the external wall, the temperatures and deformations of the structural members satisfied the requirements of fire resistance performance of 90 minutes burning period. The total heat loads and the heat values for each test are calculated by theoretical equations. The duration of burning was predicted. The predicted results were compared with the test results, and they agree quite well.

연구목적: 연기/CO/열 복합형 화재감지기와 무선 IoT통신을 결합한 IoT 멀티화재감지기를 개발하고 화재감지 실험을 통하여 연기/CO/열 복합형 IoT 멀티화재감지기의 화재감지성능을 확인하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구방법: 연기/CO 복합형 과 연기/열 복합형의 IoT 멀티화재감지기를 연기발생기와 면 심지 연소를 통하여 화재감지성능을 실험하였으며, 화제 신호를 발하는 기준을 확인하였다. 연구결과: 연기/CO 복합형 IoT 멀티 화재감지기는 면심지 연소 실험에서 화재를 감지하였으나 연기발생기 실험에서는 화재를 감지하지 않았다. 반면 연기/열 복합형 IoT 멀티 화재감지기는 두 실험 모두 화재를 감지하지 않았다. 결론: 연기/CO 복합형 IoT 멀티화재감지기는 CO가 포함된 연기만을 감지하였으며, 연기/열 복합형 IoT 멀티 화재감지기는 열의 부족에 의해 화재를 잠지하지 않았다. 이와 같은 결과로 개발된 IoT 멀티 화재감지기는 면심지 연소 실험과 연기발생기 실험을 통해 2가지 센서의 기준값 이상 신호를 검출하여야 화재 신호를 발한다는 것을 확인하였다.

성능위주 화재안전설계에서 요구 피난시간(Required safe egress time, RSET)의 정확한 평가를 위해서는 화재감지기 작동시간에 대한 정확한 예측이 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 실험 및 수치해석을 통해 화재감지기의 작동시험에 널리 적용되고 있는 Plunge test의 문제점이 검토되었다. 또한 이를 개선시킬 수 있는 새로운 Shield-cup test가 제안되었다. 측정의 정확성 및 재현성 확보를 위하여 개발된 Fire detector evaluator (FDE)가 적용되었다. 주요 결과로서, Plunge test에서는 감지기가 투입되는 순간에 급격한 유동변화로 인하여 연기감지기의 작동시간에 큰 측정오차가 발생되었으며, Shield-cup test에서는 감지기 노출 과정에서 장치 내부의 유동 변화가 거의 확인되지 않았다. 결론적으로 Shield-cup test는 모사된 화재환경에서 화재감지기의 응답특성을 보다 정확히 평가하는데 상당히 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

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.

본 연구는 국내와 외국의 건물 내장재 화재성능평가방법을 고찰하고 국내에는 도입되지 않은 실대 화재실험인 Room Corner Test를 국내 내장재중 석고보드와 합판을 대상으로 그 적용성을 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 현재 국내 내장재의 평가규정은 Bench-Scale Test에 의존하고 있으나, 미국, 일본 유럽등에서는 Room Corner Test를 적용한 실질적인 재료의 화재성능평가를 시행하고 있다. 실험 결과, NFPA 265에 의한 석고보드 및 ISO 9705에 의한 합판의 성능은 양호한 것으로 판단되었다. 현재 국내 내장재에 적용되는 등급분류의 평가방법은 재료의 실제 화재성능 평가에 한계가 있으므로 향후 Room Corner Test의 적용과 더불어 Bench-Scale Test 결과를 토대로 화재성능을 예측하는 화재모델을 이용하는 평가 방법의 도입이 필요하다.

This paper discusses the results and observations from a large-scale fire test conducted on a slim floor system, comprising asymmetric beams, rectangular hollow section beams and a composite floor slab. The structure was subjected to a fire where the fire load (combustible material) was higher that that found in typical office buildings and the ventilation area was artificially controlled during the test. Although the fire behaviour was not realistic it was designed to follow as closely as possible the time-temperature response used in standard fire tests, which are used to assess individual structural members and forms the bases of current fire design methods. The presented test results are limited, due to the malfunction of the instrumentation measuring the atmosphere and member temperatures. The lack of test data hinders the presentation of definitive conclusions. However, the available data, together with observations from the test, provides for the first time a useful insight into the behaviour of the slim floor system in its entirety. Analysis of the test results show that the behaviour of the beam-to-column connections had a significant impact on the overall structural response of the system, particularly when the end-plate of one of the connections fractured, during the fire.

With a rapid development of economy, more high-rise buildings are being constructed in large cities than before. As a result steel members such as beams, columns make a great role of the building construction, and the need of them to be protected to have enough fire resistance is in-creasing . But conducting a real fire test to all the members is almost impossible. So prior to do conduct a real fire test of the protected steel members, evaluating the fire resistant rating of them by means of their specific properties might be economical things. This study is aimed to introduce the fire resistant rating of protected steel members without a real fire test through the related studies and data.

In this study, combustibles investigation and fire growth rate experiment were performed for predicting initial fire behavior in buildings. Combustibles investigation was performed for residential buildings, which is most frequently affected by fire in Korea. Spatial characteristics and combustibles properties were separately investigated, and occupied area and layout characteristics of combustibles were identified to produce general layout models. Of the layout models, room was selected for fire test of a single compartment. From this test, fire propagation for each combustible was identified, which was delayed compared to the summed heat release rate of a single combustible.

본 연구에서는 목조한옥구조 적심부 실물화재 실험을 통하여 목조건축문화재 지붕 상부구조 내부의 연소특성을 분석하였다. 실험체는 숭례문 지붕 내부 구조의 특성을 고려하여 제작하였으며, 기와를 제외한 강회, 보토, 적심, 개판 순으로 구성하고 위치별로 열 측정 장치를 설치하였다. 첫 번째 실험은 목조건축 문화재의 적심 지붕구조를 가지는 경우 연소 및 화재 성상을 알아보았다. 두 번째 실험은 화염이 직접 접촉하는 서까래와 천정 개판 상 하부에 방염도료를 도색하여 방염도료 내화 성능을 알아보았다. 세 번째 실험은 적심부와 개판 사이에 방염천을 넣어 적심부 및 강회층에 화염 전파에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보았다. 그 결과 목조 한옥구조 지붕의 적심부 화재 전파는 외부 화염의 제거 후에도 내부에 장시간에 걸쳐 연기와 화염이 계속 진행함을 보였다. 또한, 방염도료의 경우 내열효과를 보였으며, 방염천의 경우 화염전파온도를 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하로 유지할 때 적심부로부터 화염전파차단 효과를 보였다.
