With the development of the Korean economy, the number of arson fire has been radically increased and become a huge problem and issue in Korea Society for last several decades. This study is to establish the fire life safety strategy regarding the arson fire through researching domestic fire statistics and performing the computer simulation based on fire scenarios with cutting edge techniques and methods for fire characteristics and fire dynamic. In addition, to design the fire life safety strategy depending on the arson fire pattern, the flow and characteristics of fire flames and smoke are analyzed by the computer modeling.

Fire safety management on any construction site should start with recognizing fire risks in the workplace, understanding the extent of the risks, and proper assessment of the controls necessary to reduce the risks. However, the most important step to prevent fire-related accidents on jobsites is the constant review and monitoring of processes and controls by all individuals involved. This study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of using computer simulation as an addition to maps or floor plans in safety training and management. Simulex was used on a real project to model various egress routes and to identify potential problem areas of the evacuation strategy. This study highlights the efficacy of simulated emergency evacuation as a training tool that visually shows constantly altering means of egress.

산업의 발전에 따라 사회양상도 복잡 다양하게 변화하여 오고 생활의 편리함도 늘어났지만, 그에 따른 화재위험요인도 함께 증가하고 있다. 최근 국내 건축물 환경도 초고층화 인텔리전트(Intelligent)화 되어가면서 화재로 인한 인적 물적 손실은 계속적으로 증가하고 있어 과거보다 화재발생을 줄일 수 있는 제도적 장치를 보완하여야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 특정소방대상물 관리제도에 대한 전반적인 운영 실태와 문제점을 도출하여 특정소방대상물의 방화관리 등급체계 개선방안을 제시하는데 있다. 개선방안으로는 화재 위험성 평가제도 도입, 가칭 "소방안전공사"의 신설, 특정소방대상물 방화관리등급 재분류, 초고층 및 지하심층 건축물에 방화관리자 신설 등이다.

This Study is to analyze the characteristics of arson fire under fire dynamics to protect people and property from arson fire which has been radically increased with the development of the Korean economy. Assembly and merchandise purposes such as theater, retail, and exhibition has been performed as the arson fire study. The experiment for this study is based on the analysis of the characteristic for its own combustion process and smoke spread when arson fire occurs. This study presents the analysis through comparing the condition of setting fire using liquid fuel such as thinner on purpose to the condition of setting fire naturally depending on each occupancy.

The big issue in fire and life safety protection in atriums is that hot smoke can spread vertically via the atrium openings, and impact atrium floors remote from the fire. Three different strategies to provide fire and life safety protection for atrium space were evaluated in this study, using the FDS model. Strategy A is the atrium protection approach addressed in the Korean Building Fire Protection Code, where atria are required to be enclosed with fire shutters from the $2^{nd}$ floor to the atrium top, and the ground floor is allowed to open to the atrium; in this case, no smoke control is required. Strategy B is the atrium protection approach, with smoke control provided in accordance with NFPA 92B; in this case, no atrium floor is enclosed. Strategy C is the atrium protection approach, in which some of the upper atrium floors are enclosed (the case of the top atrium floor being enclosed is evaluated in this study), and atrium smoke control is also provided to protect the lower atrium floors.

Following the Fukushima accident, a special safety inspection was conducted in Korea. The inspection results show that Korean nuclear power plants have no imminent risk for expected maximum potential earthquake or coastal flooding. However long- and short-term safety improvements do need to be implemented. One of the measures to increase the mitigation capability during a prolonged station blackout (SBO) accident is installing injection flow paths to provide emergency cooling water of external sources using fire engines to the steam generators or reactor cooling systems. This paper illustrates an evaluation of the effectiveness of external cooling water injection strategies using fire trucks during a potential extended SBO accident in a 1,000 MWe pressurized water reactor. With regard to the effectiveness of external cooling water injection strategies using fire engines, the strategies are judged to be very feasible for a long-term SBO, but are not likely to be effective for a short-term SBO.

OECD는 규제개혁을 '보다 나은 규제'와 '규제폐지'로 구분하고, 환경 및 안전 분야의 규제는 지속되어야 한다고 강조한다. 반면에, 1990년대에 진행된 한국소방의 규제개혁은 일방적인 규제의 완화 또는 폐지라는 방향으로 진행되는 매우 기이한 현상을 나타내고 있다. 영국 소방예방법규의 경우, 1971년 화재예방법의 제정 이후 대형화재의 발생에 대응하여 지속적으로 예방법규를 강화해 오고 있으며, 1991년 건축령에서는 주택을 포함하여 모든 건물에 대하여 각층에 최소 한 개의 연기경보기를 설치할 것을 의무화하고 있다. 이 연구는 영국에서의 소방예방법규의 강화가 소방안전을 제고 시켰다는 것을 보여 주고 있는데, 이것은 한국소방에 시사하는 바가 크다. 한국소방의 경우 화제로부터 시민의 생명과 재산을 보호하기 위해서 '안전, 보건, 환경과 관련된 규제의 질을 개선한다'는 규제개혁위원회의 규제개혁 기본방향이 철저히 준수되어야 하며, 비록 규제개혁의 전체적 전략이 모든 규제를 감소시키는 것일지라도 안전에 관한 규정은 오히려 증가시킬 수 있다는 기본방향의 유연성이 확보되어야 한다.

In any subject area related to the provision of safety, failure is typically the most effective mechanism for evoking rapid reform and an introspective assessment of the accepted operating methods and standards within a professional body. In the realm of tall buildings the most notable failures in history, those of the WTC towers, widely accepted as fire induced failures, have not to any significant extent affected the way they are designed with respect to fire safety. This is clearly reflected in the surge in numbers of Tall Buildings being constructed since 2001. The combination of the magnitude and time-scale of the WTC investigation coupled with the absence of meaningful guidance resulting from it strongly hints at the outdatedness of current fire engineering practice as a discipline in the context of such advanced infrastructure. This is further reflected in the continual shift from prescriptive to performance based design in many parts of the world demonstrating an ever growing acceptance that these buildings are beyond the realm of applicability of prescriptive guidance. In order for true performance based engineering to occur however, specific performance goals need to be established for these structures. This work seeks to highlight the critical elements of a fire safety strategy for tall buildings and thus attempt to highlight some specific global performance objectives. A survey of tall building fire investigations is conducted in order to assess the effectiveness of current designs in meeting these objectives, and the current state-of-the-art of fire safety design guidance for tall structures is also analysed on these terms. The correct definition of the design fire for open plan compartments is identified as the critical knowledge gap that must be addressed in order to achieve tall building performance objectives and to provide truly innovative, robust fire safety for these unique structures.

By investigating a series of catastrophic tunnel fires, this research aims to evaluate the fire resistance design method as applied to tunnel structures in Korea. It is shown that the current strategy is oriented towards smoke control and ventilation to reduce the loss of life. As structural collapse is not regarded, a general guide is proposed to obtain the fire safety.
